254 ON THE STATE OF IRELAND. [BOOK III. 



SECTION VIII. 



WE consider it advisable that the Board of Improve- 

 ment should be enabled, as far as possible, to make provi- 

 sion for the occupants of cabins which may be nuisances, 

 and, when such provision is made, to cause the cabins to 

 be taken down ; and that landlords should be required to 

 contribute towards the expense of removing the occupants 

 and providing for them. 



We therefore recommend that, at any sessions to be 

 holden, as before-mentioned, the Commissioners and jury 

 shall, whenever required so to do by the Board of Im- 

 provement, present as nuisances any cabins within the 

 district which may appear unwholesome, or calculated to 

 generate or continue disease, and to present a certain sum 

 for each ; and that a portion thereof shall be raised off the 

 property of the immediate landlord of the tenant, and the 

 residue off the district at large ; that it be paid to the 

 Board of Works, and that the Board of Works, under the 

 directions of the Board of Improvement, do let to each 

 tenant whose cabin shall be so presented a certain quan- 

 tity of land out of some of the allotments to be made to 

 it as aforesaid, for such term, and at such rent, and sub- 

 ject to such conditions as the Board of Improvement shall 

 approve of; and that it shall assist him, to the extent at 

 least of the sum presented for his use, in erecting a cot- 

 tage thereupon, and shall cause the presented cabins to 

 be taken down.
