Abstract:
The failure of the potato crop in Ireland, in 1845, which led to Sir Robert Peel's cabinet adopting and carrying Free Trade, was followed by the still more extensive failure in 1846. This brought on a paralysis of credit, and so directed attention to the peculiar inconvenience of our laws with regard to loans on landed security?the delay in making out title.
