SECT. VI.] RESULTS OF THE INQUIRY. [251 



We think that the second employment of capital 

 should be devoted to a creation of farms of two 

 hundred acres, as has been so successfully done in 

 England ; and indemnifying, among the multitude 

 of farmers holding from one to twenty acres, those 

 who may not be employed in this new species 

 of cultivation. This second measure would be ap- 

 plicable to all parts of Ireland. Upon these farms 

 the drainage should commence. 



Another measure, equally efficacious, would con- 

 sist in not allowing the erection of any houses with- 

 out the permission of the Committee. This want 

 of dwellings would diminish the number of early 

 marriages, which are sufficient to render null and 

 void the best measures that could be adopted.
