186 APPENDIX. 



2. Clare, (central part.) 



Agricultural labourers with families, and families deserted by 

 husbands and fathers who have emigrated, might advan- 

 tageously be enabled to emigrate. In some of the com- 

 munications from other districts, sending out deserted 

 families is objected to, as affording encouragement to 

 desertion. 



3. Clare, (west coast.) 



Although the population would not be too great if the land 

 were properly cultivated, there are many who must either 

 be enabled to emigrate, or be permanently chargeable to 

 the Union. 



4. Clare, (south-west.) 



The great majority of the destitute class here are so extremely 

 ignorant and helpless as to be unfit for emigration ; but 

 there are many intelligent ones who could do well in the 

 colonies, but must here be permanently chargeable. 



5. Clare, (east,) and adjoining part of Gal way. 



There are many able-bodied men with large families, as well 

 as young unmarried persons of both sexes, who, being un- 

 able to obtain employment, are a burden here, and whose 

 emigration, especially that of the latter class, would afford 

 permanent relief. 



6. Galway, (south.) 



The largest class dependent on the poor-rates here consists 

 of able-bodied unmarried women. These, and men with 

 large families, who can never support themselves at the 

 present rate of wages, might advantageously be sent out, 

 but not unmarried men, nor men with small families. 



7. Galway, (vicinity of Galway town, and part of Connemara.) 



The largest and most increasing class of paupers here also is 

 that of able-bodied unmarried women, farm-servants un- 

 employed in consequence of the distress, but well fitted for 

 the labour of colonial life. There are also many able-bodied 

 men who are unable to support themselves, and are not 

 likely to be wanted for a considerable time.
