THE IRISH FORESTRY SOCIETY. 331 
received in the House of Lords an answer in reference to the 
revenue from the Crown and Quit rents exactly the opposite to 
that which Mr Field received in the House of Commons. The 
Earl of Denbigh on that occasion said: “ Under the Crown 
Lands Act, 1829, the sums received under the heads referred to 
must be invested in the purchase of lands and hereditaments or 
the redemption of charges or incumbrances on land already 
belonging to the Crown.” In 1906 the dodging answer the 
Treasury gave was, that this money was absorbed in the 
general taxation of the country. The great thing was to keep 
hammering at them. He appealed to Mr Field to ask Mr 
Redmond and others to work up the matter. 
Mr Field, M.P., having been moved to the second chair, 
Mr Dawson proposed a vote of thanks to Lord Castletown, 
and referred to the good work which had already been done by 
Lord Castletown in the matter of tree-planting and the starting 
of industries connected with it. 
Mr Moeran seconded the vote of thanks, which was 
unanimously adopted.
