HC Deb 22 June 1847 vol 93 c808
MR. P. SCROPE

rose to move the following resolution:— That the Waste Lands of Ireland offer an available resource for the immediate employment and future maintenance of a part of her population, now apparently redundant; and that it is expedient to apply them to this great national object, making equitable compensation to their present proprietors. The hon. Member addressed the House in support of his Motion; but before he had proceeded far, the House was counted out, and adjourned at half-past Seven.
