there had been a misapplication of them in some
instances, that the (offices 111 yiestion ought to be

List should be reduced, or that the entoktpeoti of
these offices should be diminished, than that they

Sir S. NMPohl' thought the disrepute into
which sinecure offices had fallen with the people
furnished a reason for doing them away, lie
wished to adt, in the event of those Bills being
lost in anothe'r place, on %vhich the present Bill

Mr. COUBM;NAY objected to part of n clause
which gave the power of Leasing to secular per-
sons having limited interests, and tuoved that it be
kft ont,

51r. l'itesTort defended the clause as it stood.

. _ _.....__
Sir SAMUBL itomita.Y wi•hed that a shorter li-
mitation should be put to the right of action,
which now extended as far back as Richard the
First,•and was the cause of litigations fatal to the
morals of the community.
After a few observations from Mr. Jones, Sir
John Newport, Mr. N. Calvert, and Mr. New-
man, the,Amendment was negatived on the clause
for granting the power of leasing for ten year...
Colonel Woos proposed that fourteen should be
insetted instead of ten years.
A short conversation ensued between Mr. Smythe
and Sir J. Newport, the latter Of whom proposed,
that after f 0 ten years in England atul Wales," the
words -" and twenty-one years' in Ireland" should
be inserted.

After a few words from General 'Walpole, Lord
Palmerston, Mr. Preston, and \lr. Ponsonby,
Lord (:AsTLIMEAGUI recommended to the lion.
Baronet to postpone his proposition relative to the
period in Ireland to another stage of the bill, in
order to give time for inquiry.
Sir Wm. SCOTT spoke in tavottr of the original
clause. With respect to Ireland, a separate 13111
might peritapi must effectually meet the necessi-
ties of the case.

Calmlei BAP RY maintained that no period under
2) years would be of any utility in Ireland.
Sir .1. New Pour objected to postponing his
motion to a later stage of the Bill, ns it was only
in the Committee that it could meet with ample
tliscossion.

was tl►en agreed to, and fourteen for IrelAnd.
