tiers of the Lord-Lieutenant, who at present had no con-
trol over the !natter.
Sir. 11. W. BARRON instanced the case of the county
of Waterford, where the constabulary, last year, cost
3,000/. more than was allowed to the county under the
schedule of the Act referred to. Sir R. Peel, in intro-
ducing the Bill to repeal the corn-laws, gave a pledge
to Ireland that she should be relieved from the ex-
Petrie of maintaining her police, as a compensation for
the loss which would be occasioned by the absence of
rotection. That pledge had not been observed, and
te submitted to the Committee that on this occasion this
Matter was worthy of consideration.
Mr. SCULLY thought that in some districts of Ire--
land there should be a concentration of tho police force,
wad that in others there should be a reduction. In many
baronies, without a single capital conviction to warrant
it, a large force was kept up, whereas in others which
required an ample force, they were kept short. lie was
quite disposed to vote for this clause, which he thought
Would in a great measure remedy the defect.
Lard NAAS inquired of the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer what scale of remuneration he meant to adopt to-
Wards those officers.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be
Proposed to deal with them as if they had contributed to
the superannuation fund.
Sir DENHAM NORREYS moved to omit certain
Words from the clause, with a view to allow the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer to reconsider this subject of the
remuneration, than which nothing could be more unjust.
There were offices held for life, and one half of the
holders of them were deprived of them on a miserable
Pittance of 401. per annum, while the others received not
a farthing, and were discharged at an ago when they
could obtain no new employment.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
they were dealing with offices that had been abolished
on the footing of auperannuatioa allowances, and on the
recommendation of a Committee. He had the power to
put an end to those offices, but he had no power to pay
for them, except by an Act of Parliament, and by this
Bill he proposed to take the necessary powers to make
the payment from April last.
Sir D. NORREYS said he considered the whole pro-
Seeding
so completely unjustifiable, that he would throw
the whole responsibility upon the Chancellor of the Ex-
ehequer, and for that purpose he should persist in his
intention of dividing the Committee.
The Committee then divided, when there appeared--
For the omission of the words 6
Against
Majority against
--33
Clause I was then agreed to.
The remaining clauses were agreed to, except clause
4, which was struck out.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE opposed the clause brought
forward by Mr. Conolly.
The clause was withdrawn, and the Bill passed
through Committee. The report was then brought up,
Snd agreed to.
