The Earl of Glengallhad to submit a motion to which he did not anticipate that there would be any objection. It related to the salaries of the Poor-law Commissioners in Ireland. He understood that those commissioners had each a salary of 800l. per annum, besides which, there was an allowance of one guinea per day for table money, and an allowance of another guinea per day for travelling expenses making the receipts of each commissioner amount to from 1,500l. to 1,600l. a-year. This might be right or it might be wrong, but it would be well to know what the fact was. He would, therefore, now move—
That there be laid before the House, an 964 account of the salaries, allowances, and travelling expences of the Poor-law Commissioners in Ireland."
§ Motion agreed to.
