tion of Ireland sought for labour in Scotland, where,
after a residence of three years, they obtained a
settlement which they could not obtain at home.
It was his opinion, however, these persons ought
not to be entitled to a settlement until after a longer
residence than was required to give a settlement to a
native of Scotland. If there existed no law of re-
moval in England, and if a certain residence in Ire-
land gave a settlement in that country, then be
would be the last man to think of proposing such a
Bill as that now before their Lordships. But he
thought it unjust that the country should make no
provision for its native or other poor, while its popu-
lation spread itself over all Scotland, and were
there provided for. The Noble Earl concluded by
acquiescing in the substitution of five years instead
of seven.

Lord NAPIER objected to the Bill, as altoge-
ther subversive of the ancient system of Poor Laws
in Scotland.

-The Marquis of BUTE thought, under all the
circumstances of the case, the Bill ought to be al-
lowed to drop during the present Session.
The Earl of LIMERICK observed, that the
Noble Lord wished to see introduced into Ireland
that system of Poor Laws under which this country
was groaning, but which the good sense of the
Scotch had enabled them to avoid. If they were
to introduce such•a system into Ireland, she would
sink ❑nder-the experiment. He did not see the evil
of allowing a few hundred Irish to seek employment
in Scotland from year to year; they would in this
way acquire those habits of industry for which the
Scotch were so remarkable.
The Earl of HADDINGTON wished not to in-
jure the Irish poor, but to avoid injury to the poor
of Scotland. He feared that the Noble -Earl (the
Earl of Limerick) was mistaken, and that if the
present system went on, the Scottish people, instead
of raising the Irish who mixed with them to their
own level;-would be reduced to the level of the Irish
population. The Noble Earl concluded by observ-
ing, that as the sense of the House was against the
measure, he would not press it to a division.
The Amendment was agreed to, and the House
havinf, manned, the Report was brought up and
ordered to be taken into consideration on that day
three months.
