On Thursday night the second reading of the Irish Record

of Titles Bill was carried without a division, but not without a foolish and alarmist speech from Mr. Whiteside against it. As it is only a permissive Bill, and will certainly greatly simplify the titles to land of all who avail themselves of its permission, it is difficult to catch the exact attitude of Mr. Malin' and Mr. Whiteside's fears. As Sir Hugh Cakes and the Attorney-General are both earnest in its favour, Mr. Whiteside can scarcely do the experiment anything but good by his antagonism.
