[151] On the 8th of February, 1847, during the debate on the "Poor
Relief (Ireland) Bill," in the House of Commons, Lord Duncan said, "He
found it stated in the Blue Book he had referred to, that the two
members for Clare had put tenants upon the relief-rate who were paying
them considerable rents. He trusted that they would be prepared to deny
this serious imputation."
Major M'Namara rose and said:--"Sir--As one of the members for Clare, I
beg to say, that every sentence in Captain Wynne's letter is a malicious
falsehood. (Some sensation, amid which the hon. member resumed his
sat)."
[152] He thus complains in italics: "_None of the gentry will take our
part except one_." Board of Works Blue Books, vol. L, p. 352, Appendix.
[153] "The works under 9 and 10 Vic., c. 107, are sanctioned for sake of
the relief and not for sake of the works themselves.
