About the same period. considershie grants wore made by
Parliament, end disposed of in like manner by the Government

The Want of ispitil Memo to. be gineesilly refereed to as
the priocipstieniso of she reduced Mesas of employing the
people; and this complaint of want of capital is generally
accompanie I by a statement. that capital might in Ireland
be prOfitably invested. Auditing this position to be cor-
rect, your Committee were naturally led to inquiry into the
causes which inipeded the investment of British capital
in Ireland, if that investment could take place with proti'.
All the witnesses etainined imputed this difficulty of tntlac.

the disturbances which hare unfortunately prevailed in that
country, by which an Impression has been to a considerable
extent produced, thit property is inseetre is those districts

The want of Omits] in Ireland Shown by the wretched
description of implements, need both in domestic mannfac-
tures and in agrioulture, as Well as by the general deficiency
even of such implements as the poverty of the people coc-
hlea them to employ. The iilunghe; carts, and barrows;
are generally of the rodeit description, though,
.when ini-
proved models have been given, an anxiety has been evinced
on the partof the farmers to profit by the experience aoit
information Of etiserst so fee as was consistent with former
halt!s and extreme poverty. The tame want of capital ha
led to a payment of wages, mot in money, but by allowances
in amount, 'always less setisfectory• to the PesicistrY;
because it gives them t less immediate reward for
their indastry, and a less clear and intelligible mode of a's-
certaining that they are dealt with fairly. This system at
paying wages in amount is applied not only to the opera-
tion of field industry, when it results perhaps necessarily
from the poverty of the people of Ireland; but it ii stated to
extend itself in some district.. to the execution of public
works, by (Iran I Jury presentni-nt. It appears from the
re,,ort of Mr. nom% " that thh repalis of roads are
carried ea by a class of portions who make a trade of it;
as a market for tie labote of the* poorer tenantry ; the '

some part of the popolation'Watiloployed in mamificturing
industry, two individual engareil In the linen trade i's fetid to
have had occasion to receive relief. This peculiarity In the
character of t he late dir ress in Ireland appears to peter Com-
mittee to have arisen from the entire dependence of the pea-
santry upon the food raised by themselves. When the
preduce of the peasant'. potato. ground fail% they are un-
acceetinned to have recourse to markets, and indeed they
seem swirly to bare the Means of purchasing. The potatoe
crop is also very variable and • uncertain; nor can the sue
plus of one harvest be reserved to supply any deficiency
in a subsequent year. Perini the weight and bulk of
potatoes there are treat difficulties in the way of trans.
port, and these difficulties produce great disproportion
between the prices in one district and those in a district
immediately adjoining.
Tbe condition •of the peasantry of those districts of
Irelaod to which the evidence refers, appears to your
Vernanittee to be wretched and salarnitnee to the greatest
gree. An intelligept,hicatibllegicolveriseer4vbee wicked
eked dating the 'sit yeir;illeges. " that a large ;motion
of the peasantry live in a state of misery of which be could
have formed no conception, not imagining that any human
beings could exist in such wretchedness • their cabins
scarcely contain an article that can be called furniture; in
some families there are no such things as bedclothes, the
patients showed some fern, and a quantity of straw throws
over 'it,' opoo which they slept to their working.clothes,
yet, whenever they had a meal of potatoes they were
cheerful; the greeter part he understood to drink nothing,
but water." This statement appears confirmed by the
testimony of many of the witnesses examined by your.
Committee, who agree not only in this melancholy descrip.
lion of the condition of a considerable portion of the
Irish peasantry, but agree also in attributing it to the
total want of employment in which they are left. Its
some parts of the country one-half of the entire population
are sated to be without employment, in others the propor.
tiou is said to be still greater; and all the witnesses exa-
mined agree in attributing, to a considerable degree, the
tubulest spirit of the peasantry and their exeesset to this
cause. At Clonakilty, in the county of Cork, where the
linen manufacture has been intro 'seed, tranquillity isatated
to have prevailed. The county of Mayo. where yarn an
linens to a considerable extent are manufactured. the pub-
lic peace has not been endangered. One Barony in the
conoty of Kerry has been uniformly the least d:sturbed,
and io that Barony alone has manufacturing industry been
carried to any extent. In the neig.hbourbtard of Waterfor I
" no shade of disturbance has existed, the peasantry having
&steady market for their labour; whilst in parts of Cork.,
,where the people are to a considerable degree unemployed,
the most ilangerotte combinations ageinst the laws, sad
the most violent attacks upon property have lately takes
placer and yet in those very districts your Committees.
have been informed on the authority of a civil engineer of
eminence, "that be very soon pacified .the country by as
Wooded employ/west of the people in opening a new line
of road ;Vibe member who gave thitailiformatiort, adding
WO himself. " that if etoploymessessffireld be made suffi-
ciently extenitive, he doubted not that the turbulent habits
of the population would be abandoned." Where, in ad
dition to these expressions of opinion, the improved con-
dition attd tranquillity of the north of Ireland, where the
lineastansfectere prevails, is contrasted with the wretched-
ness of the south, your Committoe cutout refuse admitting
the immediate eenaeetioa emoting between emplornent 1
and peace. as well as between want of, useful occupation
and turbulence.
It is the opinion of year Committee, that there exists
in alt. minds of the people a great anxiety for labour.
The peasantry of the smith avid west quit their homes at
particular times of the year. in search of employment.
Mr. Nimmo, the civil engineer. when examined before the
Committee of 1819, stated that many hundreds of the
peasantry of Kerry had willingly hired. themselves as
labourers in the neighbouring county of Limerick at four.
pence a day; and a member of the Committee has stated.,
that be has kaosett many of the ntry of Kerry to!
quit their homes in search of employment, "offering to
work for the merest subsistence that could be obtained. at
the lowest possible rate of wages, for two pence a day, in
short for any thing that would- purchase food enough to
keep them alive during the ensiling 24 hoots." When
able to obtain labour by contract, or by task as it is called,
the peasantry are frequently known to overwork themselves.
in a manner injurious to their health. The inhabitants
of those Peninsulas of the South West of Ireland, which
are washed by the Atlantic, carry the sea ore and the cal-
careous sands of the coast many miles inland ; and in
some cases, where the moontains are steep, and roads have
mu as yet been opened. these manures are carried two or
three miles inland on the backs of the peasantry. From
these facts, your Committee have every reason to conclude,
that so far from being uniformly inactive and idle, the
peasantry of Ireland have a considerable anxiety to proeure
employment.
Various causes have been referred to, by the witnesses
examined before your Committee,' as being sufficient to
account for the want of 'employment in Ireland. Perhaps
the nearest cause may be traced to the rapid increase of the
population.—ln 1693, the population was calculated to be
1.034,102; in 1731, 2,010.221; in 1791, 4,200,000; in
1804, 5,400,000; and in 1821, nearly 7,000,000. the pro-
ductions of industry have not increased in the same ratio,
and the demand for labour has considerably diminished,
if compered with the number of persons seeking for em.,
pigment. Various causes of a local and temporary nature ,
have contributed to increase.thepopulation, and to diminish
the natural means of employing the people; these are
adverted to in the Evidence. During the war, the high
prices of warn. and the effect of the free trade iA corn,
produced by the Act of 1806, gave a stimulus to the ex-
tension of arable husbandry. The corn exports of.
Ireland increased to an extent which has frequently been
noticed in Parliament. During the same period, partly
Irons political motives in adding to the number of free-
holders, and partly from 'thee ease with which high rents
were paid for land, an extraordinary subdivision of farms
took place. Many of the evils of Ireland, moral. and
political, as well as the depressed state of the Peasantry;
may, in the judgment of your Committee, be traced to the
mischievous and frequently frasittlent multiplication ofthe
elective franchise. This subject is highly deserving' of
the notice, if not of the interposition of the Legislature.'
In an extensive district in the Queen's County (the 'Barony
of Portenalsinch), containing 1,187 farms, 1.089 appear
not to exceed twenty acres it), extrat,,and 540 are cinder
five acres each. Since the depressioo of the prices of age i-
on/oral pfodnte, the neces ity of consoltitaiing many
small into one greater farm seems to be generally admitted
and acted upon ; and much of arable- land has been laid
down for the paurpose of rearing and fattening cattle, as
Well as for dairy. That this alteration of system, may ul:
timately• be beneficial', and that it was actually necessary'
to ,prevent the indefinite• subdivision of land. before Ire
progress, may be eitmitted I. hut the first effece of the alter-,
k'tion I as been to'reake a sudden change in the peasant's'
mode of lihydepririnat many of their tinnier homes, an
apitkinr it extretutly.difficult for them to obtain a ne
