ABSTRACT
Lord George Bentinck shared the sentiments, although he disapproved of the policy pursued by the ministry with respect to the Irish famine. The peculiarity of Ireland that it was without the usual class of retail dealers overweighed, according to Lord George Bentinck, clearly the last head of objections. He thought the difficulties under such circumstances of a government becoming chapmen ought to have been encountered and might have been overcome. During the discussions on the state of Ireland which more or less spread over the first week of the session, and in which the government at different times announced the various measures of relief which it was their intention to introduce. Lord George carefully considered whether any were proposed calculated to effect the object which he desired. Lord George Bentinck was too proud to express the mortification which he felt from the division on his Irish bill.
