Sir • H. 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-
Pense of maintaining her police, as a compensation for
thelesa which would be occasioned by the absence of
protection. That pledge had not been observed, and
e submitted to the Committee that on this occasion this
matter was worthy of consideration.
Mr. SCULireY thought that in some districts of Ire-
and there shoeeld be a concentration of the po:ice force,
and that in other's there should be a reduction. Iu :many
baronies, without u single capital conviction to warrant
e large force was kept up, whereas in others which
required an ample force, they were kept short. Ile was
roue disposed to vote ,"or this clause, which ho thought

Sir D. NORREYS said he considered the whole pro-
