ment, but feared that its adoption would prevent the bill
passing through the House of Lords.
Mr. D. GRIFFITHS considered there was much mis-
understanding in reference to the subject,:and opposed the
amendment.
Mr. DEASY said that this was an amendment of great
importance, but would involve the destruction of the
measure, and it had proved fatal to the bills introduced by
three successive Governments. The present bill as it stood
dealt only with tenants from year to year, and if he desired
to avail himself of the privilege proposed to be conferred by
this amendment, the landlord might oust him as soon as he
' attempted to carry out any improvements which he con-
sidered not requisite.
Mr. MONS ELL said that the bill introduced by Lord
Aberdeen's Government failed in regard to this provision
solely because it proposed a retrospective action. He denied
that landlords would turn out their tenants on the high-
ways merely because they desired to effect some necessary
improvements.
Col. DICKSON supported the amendment, and denied
that the landlords withheld leases merely because they were
afraid that by granting them they would diminish their
political power. He contended that landlords generally,
were not opposed to granting leases cf fair length, though
he admitted there were some classes who entertained
different sentiments. He believed that without the adop-
tion of the amendment, or some similar provision, the bill
would be an utter failure, and that its adoption would
benefit both landlord and tenant. He suggested, how-
ever, that for the chairman of quarter sessions the Encum-
loe'red 'Eiates Coirt should be substitutd.
Mr. BUTT said that this was the tenants' part of the
bill, the other parts being those of the landlord.
This bill was not the result of agitation, but the
product of the Devon Commission, under the Govern-
ment of Lord Derby. He could not see how the Conservative
party in the ht.use could oppose the amendment; and he
contended that those who offered such opposition were prac-
tically affirming the proposition that the landlord was en
titled to restrict the benefits to be derived from the land
which was given for the good of all. (Cries of " Oh, oh.")
He repeated that statement, for if they did not allow
the necessary improvement in the land, they were com-
mitting to all intents and purposes what he described. The
emigration that was taking place in Ireland was not among
the poor and needy but the better class of farmers, who had
a little money, but no means of profitable investment in
Ireland.
Sir J. WALSH opposed the amendment as a gross in-
fringement of the rights of landlords.
A very protracted discussion ensued Es to whether the
amendment would operate injuriously on the interests of
landlords.

The committee divided—
