JOHN KNIGHT,

Secretary.

which Committees I was member, which septets too clearly
testify the melancholy feet of the rapid and continued de-
cline of those manufacture&

In the woollen trade, in the year 1821, when the pro-
tecting duties existed, forty-five woollen establishments were
engaged in the liberties and environs of Dublin, giving
bread to 10,271 persons, of those bat twelve remained in
1829, and but partially employed ; the cotton manufacture
at large, it was computed, maintained 20,000 persons, and
the silk trade about 3000.

In the summer of 1829, of what still remained of those
who derived their maintenance from those manufactures,
3 289 persons in the silk trade; 1,100 of the cotton trade;
and 1,193 of the woollen trade, making altogether 6,451
persons, were totally out of employment, and in the ex-
tremist state of destitution.

England has her Board of Trade, sitting in London,
Scotland has her Board of Trustees, for trade, manufactures.
fisheries, and improvements, established, in 1727, shortly
after bet union with England. and Ireland would derive the
vnaaest beside by web a Bawd being assablished as wand
principles, divested of those evils and abuses which have
destroyed the good effects of former Boards in Dublin.
Such a body, continually sitting in the metropolie, under
the controul of the Lord Lieutenant, would simplify and
lighten Irish affairs in the Imperial Parliament, which often
appear so little known or understood. A British Parliament
would not oppose, they would, it should be thought, rather
encourage so desirable an object ; for, as it is complained of,
that Irish business occupies so much of the time of the house.
the information that English members would thus be put in
possession ot;would save much time in explanations and dis.
cussion. It would. beside, prove a desire to promote Irish iu.
retests, and in doing so, support the general interest of the
molted kingdom. There are vast natural resources of wealth
that Ireland abounds in, even surrounding Dublin, that
could be made applicable to the wealth of the state, the
benefit of society, and the employment of the population,
yet to be brought forward, which a Committee or Board,
sitting in Dublin, can alone develope with effect.
The words of Mr. Pitt, in another put of his speech, on
the Union again recur, and appear to apply with a peculiar
coincidence to die present eventful crisis. "if ever," he
says. " a period should come. at which a separation of the
interests of the two countries should unhappily arrive, it will
not take place in consequence of any want of conciliation
or kindness on the part of Great Britain."
The granting a Boast. of TRADE, so much required,
would be the beat proof that the British Government and
the British people possess those kind, wise, and excellent
principles so delivered by Mr. Pitt ; it will convince the
people of Ireland, that the real desire to remedy the evils
under which she suffers, is felt by Great Britain.

PRICE SF.VENPENCE.

the landhoider, that he runs the risk of paying the tithe
twice, if any slip occurs on his part; for the trite may perish
in the contest between both ; that I may call • ne payment
of the tithe ; and should the landholder b. in any respect in
fault, he will have to pay it over again in money.
Q. oth.—ln what state is the tithe of oat., here, ba!let.
wheat, &c. to be given, on the lodge, or in the stook or
stack, and how long he can leave it on the farmer's land.
Is corn acres subject to the same rule?
A.—Here again, as there is no custom. I can only state
the principle as to oats, here, barley,wheat, &c. namely. that
it may be let out by the landboldcr.when the produce Jr•rtls
a state of just comparison between the teeth and the other
nine parts, and then by the 7th (leo. I if. c. 21, s. 1, the
tithe owner has the right to make the produce up into stacks
on the field, therefore the division should take place before
that period of the promos; and in my opiniun, when the
produce is in sheaf, and when the tenth sheaf could be sepa-
rated from, and compared with the other nine, and the re-
ceiver may make it up in nook', or otherwise on the field,
and whits the saw may rentals and be preserved so long as
the corn, hay, or any pan of them may remain undrawn by
the owner. Such Is the enactment. but if kft longer, the
common law principle, to which I have already referred,
then comes into force, and gives the Landholder on action for
the trespass, or a power of removal, but not of appropria-
tion. Corn acres are subject to the same rule.
Q. 9th..—A form of notice concerning sheep and lambs,
and at what age are the lambs to be given, whether at their
birth, or what age ?
A.—No notice. in respect of sheep or lambs, is necessary
in this case ; when titheable at all the lambs should be
tithed when dropped; but in this case, as I apprehend the
rector may be left to make his claim, they are not priedial,
but mixed tithes, and cannot be recovered in the Ecclesias.
deal Court, that being confined to prawnsl tithes, that is to
the direct produce of the land. These mixed tithes might
be recovered before magistrates, but they would be at liberty
to refuse the claim, if they thought proper, as contrary to
the custom of the place ; he, however, would recover them
in Chancery.
Q. 10th—Farmers residing in the parish, and owning land
in another parish, and shearing their sheep in said different
parish, are they titheable where they reside, or where the
sheep are shorn

A.—The tithe of fleece belongs to the parish in which the
land lies whereon the sheep were fed.
Q. 11th—What description of reclaimed bogs are free
from tithe, and how long ?
A.—hog, by which reason or means of drains, banks,
walls, or dykes, shall be improved or converted into arable
or meadow land, shall be exempt from tithe for any licutp,
flax, or rape for seven years after the time of improving or
taking in thereof, provided it never paid tithes before.-sth
George IL c. 9.
Q. 12th—No church being in the parish, and divine ser-
vice given at a farmer's place, where the curate lives, where
is the legal notice to be served ?
A.—The notice should be served in every possible way
that could secure its information at the curates residence,
addressed to the rector, at the proctor's, and a notice should
previously be sent to the rector in town, or served personally,
on him. If the intention of the party to give the tithe in
kind, the effort to give fair notice should be candid and
bona fide, because any unfairness would be deemed a ground
in the Ecclesiastical Court to order a composition for tithe,
after the tithe had been lost in the contest. I mean any
unfairness either as to notice or the setting out, or the op-
portunity of receiving.
Q. 13th.—It is required to know can tithe..givers notice
tithe-receivers, to take their tithe of each different crop as
they come in different seasons ?
A.—Of course the notice must vary in time on the Cf.
&rent crops according to the different gessoes.
