IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins DAY.
The Speaker took the chair at 12 o'clock.
LORDS' AMENDMENTS.

Clauses 13 and 14 were agreed to.
Clause 15, relative to voting papers, was withdrawn.
Clauses 16 to 43 were agreed to.
On clause 44, with regard to compensation,
Sir G. BOWYER, in reply to Mr. Alarrox, said the
clause did not give the owner any right to compensation
in respect of tolls, because the bill pa, ded for the aboli-
tion 6f these tolls. But supposing a man had laid out a
good deal of money on any of those weirs, and handed
them over in a very good condition, he had a very fair
right to compensation for the expenditure he had incurred.
Sir W. IIEATHCOTE said the learned gentleman's ex-
planation was to him most puzzling. (Hear, hear.) The
abolition of the tolls seemed to him to be the very reason
why compensation should be given.
Mr. AYRTON said the words of the act were that any
person having any estate in any lock, dam, or weir was en-
titled to compensation.. In order that they might define
what compensation was to be given for, ho• moved that
" estatO be left out of the clause.

Mr. LOCKE said that-
any tolls or right of fishing was
part of the estate, and therefore the clause ought to be
altered or struck out altogether.
Mr. GIBSON said the intention of the committee was
this—that persons who had laid out a good deal of money
on locks, and really laid out more than was really required
should be compensated—that their claim should be consi-
dered.

Mr. AYRTON then withdrew his amendment, on tho
understanding that the clause would bo amended by Mr.
Cave.

Clauses 45 to 56 were agreed to.
Mr. AYRTON moved the rejection of Clause 58, but,
after some discussion, the amendment was negatived.
Clauses 59, GO, 61, and 62, after a short discussion, wero
agreed to, and the chairman was ordered to report pro-
gress.
An adjournment took place at four o'clock.

Tho house resumed at six o'clock, and was

—LAND TENURE (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of CLANRIOARDE, in moving the second
reading of this bill, said that, he belibved the principle of it
was never generally undcrstoOd and its proposed object
recognised. The subject had undergone considerable dis-
cussion in and out of Parliament, and particularly in Ire-
land, and it was very desirable that the question should be
satisfactorily settled. One of the principal provisions of
the bill was that which proposed to repeal all existing acts
on this subject. Another was that which related to im-
provements or alterations in land by tenants for which
they claimed compensation. To the principle of that com-
pensation he consented, but did not think that it should be
left to the discretion of the tenant without reference to the
wishes of the. landlord. He contended that considerable
ignorance preVailed in reference to the agricultural con-
dition of Ireland, for the farmer or peasant proprietor was
no tin the anomalous state generally described. For instance,
although some peasant proprietors possessed from 5 to 20
acres, still there was a large class who hold farms of consi-
derable extent in Ireland. He denied that there was
any hostility between landlord and tenant in Ireland,
such as was supposed in this country to exist. He con-
tended, further, that•the doctrine of the relation between
landlord and tenant in respect to land should rest on vo-
luntary agreement, and not on legal compulsion.

made by them, and to appoint another conservator instead,
