The Irish Land Question.

In the Pall Mall Gazette of 24th July, 1885, Mr. Michael Davitt published the following

Table,

Showing increase of Rents and their amounts at different periods, on the estates of the most model Landlords in Ireland.

The figures of rental represent Poor Law Valuation only, the actual rental in most cases being much higher.

In our Almanacks of 1884 and 1886 very copious particulars may be found of the operation of the Land Act; also of each landlord's reductions as enforced by the courts, and striking instances of the rack-rents exacted from unfortunate tenants prior to the Gladstone Government's measure. We cannot repeat from year to year this very valuable series of tables—which trenched too far upon our limited space—but content ourselves this year with a summary of results up to the most recent date available, and which will be found at another part of the book (see Index).
