On the reading of the Refolotion for the

Mr. Baowst.t. role, and expelled his fincere
with that fome principle might be adopted for ex..
tending humane of dance more generally to the
poor of Ireland. Happily for that country, per.
hep . they were not bible& to the heavy and op.
pretlive tax of Poor. Rates; but whatever tea.
forts there might be for exultation with the wealthier
delfts in Ireland on this ground, it was yet im.
'vale to contemplate the miferable fituation of
the poor, in many parts of this country, without
the moll painful refleaion. In that part wherebe
tided (the county ofTipperary),as well as in many
others which he had occaGonally vifited, it was
his own misfortune frequently to have Peen many
miferable paupers perifhing in the (trees, through
want, difeafe, and infirmity, without any place to
filcher their heads, or to receive medicine, food,
or comfort under their calamities. This was,
certainly, to every humane mind, a moll painful
rethaion. It was not his with to impofe on Ire.
land the expenfive burthen of Poors' Rates; ne.
verthelefs, he thought tome partial meafure might
be adopted to afford Come relief in cafes of extreme
necetfity. He mentioned the matter now, with a
view of calling to the fubjed the attention of the
Right Hon. Gentleman oppofite to him (Mr.
Corry) while the queltion fur a provifion for the
paupers of Dub!itt was before the Honfti ; and he
trolled the Nut would be produCtive of the good
confequences he walled.
Mr. CORRY role to affure the Houk. that the
fabjed mentioned by the Hon. Member hal by no
means cfcaped the attention of the Noble Lord
now at the head of the Government in Ireland, of
his Right Hon. Friend near him (Mr. Wickham)
our of the Right Hon. Gentleman whom he had
now the honour to addrels, (Mr. Speaker,) and
who Lately filled an high official capacity in that
country ; and he was lure, that on the part of
Gositriimet t, the firongen difpolition was felt to
afford every pr.tdic.able remedy in the cafe Rated
by his Hon. Friend who introduced the fulled ; a
ditpofition manifeited by the peculiar attention of
his Excellency to the innitutions for the relief of
the poor in ti.e metropolis, which fell more im•
mediately within the vicinity of his refidence ,
but the difficulty was how to adopt any remedy
in a maw of filch lei tolls importance, and upon
which, certainly, nothing lbonld be precipitated
ralhly, or wi;hiatat the fullell deliberation.--
Whenever there lb iithl be time fur fuck
deli-
hcra::un to take pl..ce, no ditpotaion would be
