A Speech Delivered In The House Of Commons On March 11 1870 On The Second Reading Of The Irish Land Bill PDF Download

Excerpt from Speech on the Second Reading of the Government of Ireland Bill: Friday, 7th April, 1893 It might be said that because of this in creased payment to the landlord the total eu nuity required from the tenant is lessened. The advantage is insignificant as compared with the cost. A tenant paying 70 annuity might redeem the whole payment to the land lord provided under the Bill at sj; per cent. In the 685 years -by paying, as Examiner points out today, an additional thirty shillings a year. By saving the thirty shillings a year for years the farm is subjected to a rentec'harge of 8 155 in perpetuity. That is not an economi cal proceeding for either the tenants or the nation. Furthermore, the tenant whose farm is not worth 18 4-5 years' purchase of the first term rent, or 22 years' purchase of the second term rent, or of a rent which is not judicial, will receive no advantage whatever from the charge. His annuity cannot be lessen-ed by the payment, for the absurd provision fixing a minimum price diverts the whole profit to the landlord.
