IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Earl Of SHAFTESBTJAY, in the absence of the
Lord Chancellor, took his seat upon the Woolsack
shortly before Five o'Clock.
MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS.

Messengers from the Commons brought up certain
Bills.

LANDLORD AND TENANT COMMISSION

Lord MONTEAGLE seeing his Noble Friend in his
place, wished to put a question to him on a subject in
which the public at large, and more especially the Irish
public, felt a deep interest. In putting this question he
begged to state that he entertained no distrust of his
Noble Friend. He believed that his Noble Friend was

most diligent in the discharge of the public duty with
which he had been entrusted ; but the public were
looking with the utmost anxiety towards the Landlord
and Tenant Commission in Ireland, and he wished to
ask his Noble Friend if he could inform the House when
it would be likely thst that the public would be put in
possession of the results of their labours.
The Earl of DEVON had no difficulty in an-
swering the question ; and he was glad that an oppor-
tunity had been afforded him of stating why it was
that he was present then at that moment, instead
of being in Ireland. It so happened that he had
made arrangements to go to Dublin for the purpose of
collecting further evidence, and had intended being in
Ireland at the present time ; but a few days since he
had received a subpcena from the Court of Queen's Bench,
commanding him to attend as a witness in a criminal case,
at the next Devonshire assizes. He had endeavoured
to get the evidence which he should have to give, made
matter of admission, but the defendant appeared to
consider it essential to the case that he (the Earl of
Devon) should be examined, and he was afraid that
he should be detained in England until the trial was
over. His absence, however, would not interrupt the
labours of the commission. His colleagues were
empowered to proceed with the inquiry during
his absence, and they had consented to do so;
therefore, no delay would take place in con-
sequence of his detention in England. He was
not sorry that he had the opportunity of stating
that he was not idly or unnecessarily neglecting his
public duty. It was generally supposed, although the
supposition was incorrect, that the only besi-
ness of the Commission was to collect evidence.
That was a most importfint part of the duty
no doubt but any person who took upon them-
selves the responsibility of offering suggestions as to
any proposed change in the existing law, should make
themselves acquainted with the law ; and therefore a not
unimportant part of the duties of the Commissioners was
to digest the information on the subject of the rela-
tions between landlord and tenant, which was already
accessible to the public. He could assure their Lord-
ships that the taking of evidence was not the only
labour that devolved on the Commissioners ; and he
also begged to assure them that the labours of the Com
mission would be prosecuted with as little delay as pos.
sible.
