Mr. M. FITZGEItALD observed, that_ the re-
' formation of the laws on these t,ttimieets wool.) be
effecting a great advantage for Irelami but unless
the cooperation of persons in this part of the
country could be obtained, those who brought in
owoold'find themselves thwarted, as he wits

Mr. L. Post is observed, that the MI which

• portions of it being impracticable. fled the Bill

ruiseh;ef.
. Sir Jonte NeWeowr wished ti< general valuation
of lands to be propemsed. The tax on occupying
• tenants was, in fact, a tax on the whole country.
Ile %vas astonished to hear it said that there were
no defaulters. Since the discussions of the last
year no less than three County Treasure's had
Nam. WI never took. up the subject would con-
• fer a great obligation on the country. The a e(11.
Titles for Grand Jury money, and all other public
monies, were in the same state now as when the
last diseuss7no took place. Arrears were still due
to the piddie, though men ot first rate peopeety
were security for the defaulters, Ilealloded to the
