HC Deb 18 February 1884 vol 284 c1168
MR. W. J. CORBETT

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he is aware that the Sub-Commissioners under the Land Act put off for along time giving their decisions, frequently giving judgment in places distant from where the cases were tried; whether he is aware that the applicants for reduced rents think that, if their cases were adjudicated on within a reasonable time, while the facts are fresh in the minds of the Sub-Commissioners who have heard the evidence and inspected the lands, they would get larger reductions; and, whether he cantake any measures to grant their wishes?

MR. TREVELYAN

, in reply, said, the Land Commissioners were of opinion that decisions of Sub-Commissioners as to time were given in the interests of justice, and according to the best of their ability.
