In approaching the land question, Lord Russpll observes,
that we are met by theorists, some of whom suggest flxittsi
of tenure, which means the transfer of land from the ow.der
to the tenant. " Yet," the pamphlet continues, "this
cannot be done with any regard to the rights of property
or the interests of the whole country." The question of
the tenure of land is one chiefly of prevailing customs and of habit. In England the principal tenants, generally'
speaking, do- not hold leases by their own choice, 'and
yet they are ready to vote with their landlords. "-There
is very little actual compulsion in the case,"
says Lord Russell, " and I doubt whether tle introduction of the ballot would make much practical
difference." In Scotland, the author maintains, at the
risk of being suspected of political heresy, that the restric-
tion of the franchise in counties to a limited number of;
landowners from 1688 to 1831, tended to promote ag-rical..
tare. " The tenant having no vote, the landlord's sole
object was to obtain a good rent, and have his land im-
proved." In Ireland the political franchises were too far
extended. This portion of the pamphlet appears to b 3 a,
digression, and the author returns suddenly to the strict
question as between landlord and tenant. To divide the
country into small independent holdings would be, he
maintains, a retrograde step. But the State should see
that three general rules are observed :

"First, that property should have its rights and perform
its duties ; second, that the tenants of landowners
should live in comfort and security ; third, that a produce
should be obtained from the laud representing fair
not very, skilful cultivation. These conditions are the
result of good government and its proof. Looking to the
state of Ireland it is impossible to say that these conditions
are performed."

Lord Russell avows that he knows of no better remedy
f..t this complicated difficulty than that to be found in
Mr. Chichester Fortaacuga bill. h e.a.ses of arbitrary
eviction the tenant is entitled to compensation for hif.;
improvements. Gentlemen of the Dublin bar might txt
as arbitrators to fix the amount, holding special circuit
courts for the purpose. No scheme violating the rights
of property ought to be adopted, "and " even a plan
which, without violating the rights of property, proceeds
on the supposition that Irish tenants are what they are
not, and that they will do what they will not do, ought to
be rejected." From this Lord Russell proceeds to make
a further review of the condition of Ireland for a centugy
past.
