Cowen whether it was true that pauper
emigrants had been sent to America with
the knowledge and consent of the govern
ment, said the report about the landing
paupers in America was greatly exagger-
ated. The steamer Anchorla took no in
mates from any workhouse, and all the
emigrants sent by the commission had
been supplied with funds. No paupers
were sent out by the boards of guar
dians. He also stated that no definite
offer for sending emigrants to Canada had
been received from the Dominion govern
ment.
He also said that kilograms from
America on the subject should be received
with great caution. He said the Furnessia
took out 421 emigrants, of whom only five
families had been in the workhouse, and
in each of these cases friends in America
had offered them homes. He had himself
seen all the tickets of emigrants, including
railway tickets from the other side.
They had also checks for the full amount
of landing allowance, which for adults is
one pound and for children ten shillings
each. Trevelyan said the question relat-
ing to the action of the American govern
ment in the matter should be addressed to
the foreign Office, as his business was
highly to ascertain whether the admins
tratiou of details of the Irish adminlstra-
ton were carried out as far as possible.
Lowther, conservative, gave notice that
he would at an early day call attention to
the subject.

after a terrific struggle. The wounds of
the clergyman are very dangerous, and it
is not expected he will survive them. The
assailant was also an Englishmap.
