The Earl Of Dsrnley stated thai q

his Majesty s. Ministers, he should ,s!
his duty TO call the attention Of ths su 10y i
to that most important object. the co uoese
Grafton OF the affairs Of Ireland. sTTa a
was degree of increasing distress /. a "
country almost amounting TO fam;n. .aat
he hoped and trusted The accounts ~. 'lt
ed were exaggerated. His object i ven,
tioning this distress was 10 obtain CO.. ~ '"ea'
sursnce from his majesty's Ministers S =.
the subject had occupied their atteo, ;aal
a fact Of which he could possibly an,
tam no doubt. The objections , sS;s
had been made in other times 10 d;..a
such questions, did not now apply ' 'r
! superabundance of rsoduce which 49,. .s
stoned distress in this country mich, t /
rendered available to alleviate that ~t; Y
existed in Ireland. AT all events ! e"s9
effect would result from an in,imatosS~ e

in their power. '''

was true that in some part of irel.,s%
great distress existed. That distress
how ever, bad no: been overlooked bg i.
majesty's government, and measures has
been taken to administer relief accord0s
to precedents, which had proved SUCCESS
full. As to the general question Of inis,.
ference, he thought that an extreme e,,.
alone could justify such step, and H.,
nothing would be more likely 10 create,
/ famine as any interposhion on The part Il
the government OF the Legislature il lhs
subsistence OF the country. 1t was Tho
exertions of individuals that that subss.
I tence was best secured; and when d.
Ieigner expressed bis surprise that Lam.
don should be supplied without any resu.
lations, he wasjustly answered, that Lon.
don was so well supplied only because
there were no regulations. He appealed
to the Noble Peers who had lately return.
ed from Ireland, whether they were not
satisfied, that whatever could be done 10
relieve The present distress, would be done,
and was doing?
