§ MR. SCULLYsaid, he wished to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Has his attention been called to the Parliamentary Return, No. 363, as to the Transfer of Land, presented to this House on the 7th of June instant, showing that the poundage (above ad valorem Duties) paid to the Consolidated Fund was £87 6s. for obtaining indefeasible titles under the English Land Transfer Act, 25 & 26 Vict. c. 53, to Estates in England, the gross value whereof was £98,499; and that the poundage (above ad valorem Duties) payable to the Consolidated Fund for obtaining indefeasible titles to Estates of the like value in Ireland, under the Irish Land Transfer Acts, 21 & 22 Vict. c. 72, and 24 & 25 Vict. c. 123, would be £492 9s. 11d., being rather more than five and a half times the poundage chargeable for indefeasible titles to English Estates; and will he endeavour to remedy that anomaly through his promised measure for registering Titles to Land in Ireland?
§ MR. O'HAGAN, (THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND), in reply, said, it was not quite certain that, it would be possible to incorporate the suggestion of the hon. and learned Gentleman in the promised measure. He would, however, see what could be done.
