CROWN LTA 111.

Lord TEYNHAM moved for Returns of the num•
her of applications fur the renewal of Leases for Crown
Lands refused by the Comm;ssioners for Woods and
Forests, hom 182) to 1826 inclusive. The Noble Lord
said, that the particular case which he had in •iew re•
fated to the refusal of an application for a renewed
lease of the Spring•garden Chapel.
The Earl of CARLISLE had no objection to pro-
duce the Returns, bat wished the motion to be narrowed
to the particular cases, which the Noble Lord had in
view. With respect to the Spring-garden Chapel, an
application had been made by the populous parish of
54114,6'4 for a site on which to build a Chapel, andl
the Commissioners of Woods and Forests had recom-
mended that particular site as fit for the purpose. This
was the reason that the application for the renewal of
the lease had been refused.

After a few words between the two Noble Peers, Lord Tant-
a/it withdrew his motion.

Lad REDESDA LE brought in a Bill for the better regulation
of &skill !louses, the chief object of which was to compel them
cote a year to balance their accounts, in order p.) ascertain the
amount of their fends and their solvency.—Read a first time, and
ordered to be printed.

POOR LAWS IN IRELAND.
Earl CARBERRY had three Petitions to present,
respecting the propriety r.f making a provision by law
for certain descriptions of Poor in Ireland. Last
August the distress experienced amongst the lower
classes had been so great at Cork, notwithstanding
the amount of ♦oluntary contribati,ins, that a Meeting
bad been called by the Mayor. A variety of opinions
had been expressed, but the majority was in favour of
a Petition to their Lordships for Parliamentary inter-
ference. This Petition, however, having been signed
by the Mayor only, had been sent back to him, and
vas now returned with additional signatures. It had
come accompanied by two Petitions from Parishes in
the same City, of a different tendency, which he also
intended to present. The Noble Earl then took a view
of the great increase of the population in Ireland.—
He stated that in thirty-two counties, there were but
six Houses of Industry for the Poor, and that the whole
of the money raised throughout the country to give
them permanent relief, was only 46.0001. lo some of
the Hou,es of Industry where 3,0681. were allotted
for the support of 700 individuals, 1,000 were some-
times placed, and none of them were allowed to stay
more than two or three months. In fact the resident
Gentry and their tenantry paid in alms a larger sum
than would be required if a regular provision for
"'tam classes was established by law. The Noble
Earl then presented the Petition, which prayed " for
tne introduction of Poor Laws, or other provisions is
Ireland."

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY said, that an end
had been put to the emigrations of beggars to the north
of lielanO, by the establishment of houses of lodustr y.
For when they found that they received nothing but
what those houses provided, and that they mutt even
work to obtain it, they made as short a stay as pnssible.
an ir,teed of spending their money, as when they used
i"'ell) to get it, in alehouses, th y hastened away to
a dilicte:-.t part of the country. In this manner beg-
gainni entirely ceased in the county of Dowse, and
tt the s,me system were adopted in the South, similar
results might be anticipated. He hoi,ed, that when a
NobleNldiTiis (L.lntdown) who new enjoyed otit.m
tam knicate, should accept of an office connected with
