§ MR. M'MAHONasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, What course he proposes to take with regard to Union Rating?
THE MARQUESS OF HARTINGTONsaid, in reply, that he was as anxious as the hon. and learned Gentleman could be that this question should be settled; but, looking at the state of Public Business, and the 52 Orders of the Day which were on the Paper for that evening, he did not think there would be any prospect whatever of passing in the present Session a measure on this subject, which was sure to cause a great deal of discussion.
