§ MR. SLANEYsaid, he rose to move for leave to introduce a Bill to facilitate the grant or sale of small portions of entailed lands near great towns, as sites of dwellings for the working classes, and for other purposes of a like beneficial and charitable nature. Owing to the dwellings of the poor being removed for the purpose of making improvements in towns, the working classes were driven into localities already overcrowded. He, therefore, proposed to obtain a Bill which would enable trustees of entailed properties suitable for the erection of dwellings, to grant sites of land near towns so that houses for the poor might be erected; they would thereby improve their moral and social position. This Bill would be solely of a permissive character, and all sales under it would require the approval of the Inclosure Commissioners or two magistrates. He hoped, therefore, there would be no objection to the Motion.
