The Ashbourne act, which has passed the House of Lords, and now awaits the Queen’s approval, simply increases the amount available to be lent to Irish tenants for the purchase of estates, from £5,00i',000 sterling to £10,000,900. The government lends the money at 4| per cent, and the tenant by paying that amount becomes in forty years the owner of his estate in fee simple. Applicants of nearly £6.000,00u have been made under the original act.
