§ MR. BRADYsaid, he wished to ask the noble Viscount the First Lord of the Treasury Whether he intends to introduce any measure this Session for the alteration of the laws in reference to landlords and tenants in Ireland.
§ VISCOCNT PALMERSTONThat question is one which, I know, excites great interest in Ireland, and it is a question that has often been under the consideration of this House. No measure, however, upon the subject has hitherto succeeded in passing into law. The matter shall receive the most earnest and attentive consideration, in the first place of the 478 law advisers of the Crown in Ireland, and then of Her Majesty's Government; but I am unable at the present moment to give any more definite answer to the question of the hon. Gentleman.
