dividing, allotting, and inclosing it, or other-

bill passed the Commons, but ‘upon some 
suggestions made by Lord T , wTiO is 
said to be a plain, blunt spoken Englishman, 
it was thrown out by the Lords. We believe 
his Lordship went so far as to call it ‘ a Mi- 
nisterial job.'' 
Whatever might have been Lord T 's 
opinion of the bill, or however exceptionable 
it might seem, or whatever job or jobs might 
then be suspedled, we are very confident that 
the community would have been benefited, 
if upon any terms this large tra61;'of land had 
then been given up by the Crown, and placed 
V 
in the hands of private individuals. It would 
ere now have been cultivated and improved, 
and every part of it would have been })ro- 
ducing some valuable crop. As it now lies, 
it is a disgrace to the country, and its ame- 
lioration is certainly an obje6l that calls for 
the attention of your Lordship and that of 
' tlie Board at which you presid^'d.
