§ MR. SCULLYasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Is it intended, on the part of Her Majesty's Government, to introduce early this Session a Bill to register or to record the Titles to Land in Ireland?
SIR BOBERT PEELsaid, that last Session his right hon. Friend the Attorney General for Ireland engaged to lay on the table of the House a Bill, and he did so 140 before the close of the Session. There was no doubt that a strong feeling prevailed amongst certain classes in Ireland, to try the experiment of a cheap system of land transfer; but the late Attorney General for Ireland stated in this House, at the time he introduced the Bill, that it would create what he called a great social revolution among the landed proprietors of that country; and, considering the changes which had lately taken place, he (Sir Robert Peel) thought it would be better to wait until the Law Officer of the Crown was in that House, and, therefore, he suggested the matter should be postponed to a future Session.
