Abstract:
It has been suggested to me by Dr. Hancock that it may not be without value to the Statistical Society, that I should put on record the notes of a visit which I have paid during my short stay in Ireland to two of the properties of the Church Temporalities Commission, subject to the clause of the Church Disestablishment Act giving a right of pre-emption to the tenants. My object was that I might personally judge of the motives which the tenants had in view in effecting the purchase, and of the results, so far as they could be ascertained by ocular proof and by conversation with the new owners. By the advice of Mr. Murrough O'Brien, I selected for my visit two properties in the neighbourhood of Newry, one of which was sold four years ago to the tenants, and the other which, owing to some technical difficulties, is only now about to be offered to its tenants.
