HC Deb 10 November 1882 vol 274 cc1181-2
MR. SEXTON

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he can say why the case of James Harte, of Rusheen, county Sligo (a ten- ant of Lady Louisa Tenison), entered a long time since in the Land Court, has not yet been heard, though the Sub-Commission has held two sessions for the county Sligo; and, if he can say how soon the case will be heard and decided?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, the practice of the Land Commissioners is to list all cases for hearing in the order of the receipt of the application in their office, and James Harte's case has not yet been reached in consequence of the number of cases lodged before his, and which, consequently, must be heard before it. The cases having priority are so numerous, I understand, that his case will not be reached for a considerable time.
