Every man should be able to maintain himself and family; in Ireland matters are different as the working classes have been brutalized and corrupted; the violent competition for land leads to outrages; the Irish labourer is reckless because he cannot rise above a certain level; writer wonders that there is so little crime in Ireland; there are more rich persons and also more poor people in Ireland than ever before; planned emigration is essential; Littleton's hard work was to no purpose.
Senior's pamphlet on national property does him much credit; there is a strong disposition to retain the King and the Lords if they will but behave decently; writer hopes that reform will not proceed by jerks; the diminished personnel of the Church Commission; the titheslaughter in the south; the Primate's strange antics.
