PETITIONS.
Several petitions were presented praying the house to

right of taxation.
TENURE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND
(IRELAND) BILL.
The amendments to this bill were considered.
Mr. VANCE moved the following amendment :—" That
it shall belawful for the owner at his option to execute the
proposed works at his own expense, and to charge the
tenant with interest at five per centum on the outlay, to be
recoverable in the same manner and along with the rent."
After some conversation,
Mr. CARDWELL suggested the introduction of the
following words, as meeting the views of hon. members :
" That it may be lawful for the landlord to execute the ne-
cessary works, and by agreement with the tenant to charge
him 5 per cent. on the outlay, to be recoverable in the same
way and along with the rent."
A clause to this effect was agreed to and ordered to stand
part of the bill.
On clause 30 A,
Mr. WHITESIDE moved an amendment, the object
of which was to substitute the jurisdiction of a judge of the •
Landed Estates Court for that of the Court of Chancery in
regard to the subject of making leases.
The amendment was agreed to, and the clause, as
amended, was agreed to.
Mr. WHITESIDE proposed a clause, "That any per-
son authorised to make a lease by virtue of this act may,
in like manner, enter into a preliminary contract to grant
such lease, which would be binding on all persons who
could be bound by the leaso if it had been made."
Mr. DEASY objected to the clause as being inconsis-
tent with the framework of the bill.
Mr. WHITESIDE said that the effect of the clause
which he proposed would be to relieve the county court
judges from a description of business Which they could not
completely discharge, and leave them unburdened to the
performance of their other judicial duties.
The clause was read a first time, and the house divided
on the motion that the clause be read a second time.
