Overview

Excerpt from English Law and Irish Tenure My object is to place the facts of Irish tenure by the side of the principles of English law, and the decisions of our Courts most nearly applicable, and to see what help these principles and decisions afford us towards dealing with the past and legislating for the future. We shall find, probably, that our conclusions must take the form of suggestions rather than of positive enunciations of law, for the relations of the parties in the case before us are embrangled, and the dealings of the landlords of Ireland with their tenants have resulted, if I mistake not, in a very complicated stategof accounts. The facts besides of Irish tenure are varied, and not unfrequently asser tions regarding it made by one are contradicted by another; and on scarcely any point are the facts so distinct as to allow of a general statement being made without the introduction of large exceptions. I have therefore stated nothing of importance except on the evidence of witnesses speaking under responsibility, and I have constantly preferred, at the risk of being tedious to readers not deeply interested in the subject, to let those witnesses Speak in their own words, that my readers may be able for themselves to gauge their credibility. Still, I venture to hope that the investiga tions contained in these pages may prove neither useless nor uninteresting.
