§ MR. P. O'BRIENsaid, he had a question to put to the Chancellor of the Exchequer as to the intentions of Her Majesty's Government on this subject. He had given notice of that question in his own vindication, because he was not the editor of a newspaper, and the proper arena for any explanation of his personal conduct was the floor of that House. If he had his choice he would rather be torn to pieces in his place in that House than be crucified in the newspapers. He wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, on Saturday last, he had stated to a deputation of Irish Members that it was his intention to introduce in the next Session of Parliament any measure to give effect to the measures proposed by the present Chancellor of Ireland in 1852, in connection with the question of Landlord and Tenant in Ireland; and whether be is prepared to state definitively the intentions of the Government in regard to those measures?
