Opposition to inquiry and select committees over Irish relief
In a house of commons debate, Mr Buller argues for fair compensation and cautions against broad exemptions while Mr Watson pushes for inquiry into taxes and litigation costs. Measures include creating select committees on Poor Relief in Ireland, townland valuation uses, and naval promotion reforms, with further divisions and adjournments noted. Also described are petitions on fire insurance duties and corn laws, and a York-tinged discussion on island duties and church rates.
