§ MR. DALYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the flax and potato crops in Ireland during the past harvest have turned out very deficient, while oats and barley have yielded wretchedly; and whether, under the circumstances, he will grant a revision of the judicial rents to help the farmers to tide over the great distress that prevails?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELANDI am aware that there was a deficiency in the yield of the various crops referred to during the past Session. The Government have no intention of legislating in the direction suggested in the Question.
