Gregory clause, an amendment to the Poor Law Act of 1847, named after its proposer, Sir William Gregory (1817–92), MP for Dublin city and later husband of Lady Augusta
Gregory. Also called ‘the quarter‐acre clause’, it prohibited the relief from poor rates of anyone occupying more than a quarter‐acre of land and also (until the rules were changed in May 1848) of their dependants. The restriction facilitated those landlords who wished to take advantage of the
Great Famine to clear their estates of surplus tenants, but added significantly to misery and loss of life, as smallholders stubbornly refused to give up their foothold on the land.
