On the valuation of real property for taxation
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)In a paper read last session, I advocated the adoption in Ireland of the English system of assessing real property for taxation, so far as the ascertaining the annual value of the premises went, on the ground that the ... -
The condition of small farmers in Ireland, and their position with reference to the land question
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)The average size of farms in Ireland is so small that it may well be matter for wonder how the tenants upon them are able to pay any rent alter supporting themselves and their families. In 1866 the number of farms of the ... -
Some economic objections against the custom of ?fortuning? daughters, that prevails amongst the farming classes in Munster
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)He who carefully studies the social condition of our agricultural population cannot fail to see many things capable of improvement, in which, if there is to be any improvement at all, it must be initiated within the social ... -

Causes of slow progress of political economy
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)Political Economy has not of late made progress in public estimation, nor can it be placed in rank, by its most ardent admirers, as a science of which the laws?it may almost be said any one law?are undoubted or capable of ... -
On the valuation of property for taxation
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)In a former paper on valuation I mentioned the fact that in both England and Ireland large country houses are generally assessed at very low rates. This low rating, however, is not confined to country houses; there are ... -
An account of the manor of Kilmoon, and the copyhold tenure existing there
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)It is generally supposed that there are no copyhold lands in Ireland, though at one time they were not altogether unknown. The only mention of their existence in modern times, that I have found, is in Vance and Ferguson's ... -
Fluctuations in the value of the precious metals and their effect on trade
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)I need hardly apologise for introducing this subject to your notice. The trade of Great Britain is the source of her national wealth, and therefore anything that even remotely affects it must be of interest to a society ... -
Boarding-out of pauper children
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)The mode of dealing with those children who are cast entirely upon the care of the state, which is known as boarding-out, is not a new one, either in principle or practice, although it has attracted more attention during ... -

(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)The depression of trade, which has now lasted for some four or five years, with gradually increasing intensity, has naturally attracted considerable attention. All kinds of reasons have been offered to explain its origin?wars, ... -
The cost of adopting a complete system of public prosecution in England, as illustrated by the results of the working of the Scotch and Irish systems of public prosecution
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)There are many indications that the extension to England of the system of Public Prosecution which has so long existed both in Scotland and Ireland is only a question of time. This assimilation of the laws of the United ... -
On banks and banking in Ireland
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)I am not aware that any paper has ever been read before the Statistical Society on this very important subject. This is, perhaps, not very surprising. In fact public banks have gradually come into existence one by ... -
On the creation of a public commission for the purchase of land for re-sale to tenants in Ireland
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1879)The return published in the year 1874 of the number of landed proprietors in Ireland, drew at once attention to their very limited number. The total acreage of Ireland is 20,047,572 acres, whilst the number of proprietors ... -

Report of the Charity Organisation Committee on the organisation of the courts by which drunkenness is punished, in connexion with suggested extension of the Justices' Clerks Act, 1877, to Ireland
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1878)In investigating the causes of distress, drunkenness appears at once to be one of the chief causes. It is also intimately connected with the prevalence of vice, as it weakens the checks against immorality. So again, the ... -

(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1878)We requested Mr. Bagenal, one of our body, to make enquiries as to what impediments to the trade between The United Kingdom and America exist in the port of Dublin; and he wrote to the United States consul. The answer, in ... -
Prize essay on the differences in the organization of local courts in Ireland, Scotland, and England, for the discharge of the duties of judges and officers, suggesting such changes as would be expedient in case of an assimilation of jurisdiction in the local courts of the three kingdoms
(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1878)Last session I had the honour of submitting to this Society an essay containing the result of some inquiries into the constitution of the local courts in the Three Kingdoms, and containing also some suggestions as to the ... -
Notes of a visit to some church lands, where tenants have bought their holdings, and also to other church lands where tenants have not yet bought their holding

(Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1878)G. Shaw Lefevre, M. P., who was received with applause, said he felt very much pleasure at being called on to say a few words on the very able and interesting papers they had just heard read. He felt that he owed that ... -
