HC Deb 10 May 1888 vol 325 c1813
MR. HAYDEN (Leitrim, S.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether there were 71 applications recently listed for hearing before the Land Commission from the district of Carrigallen; whether the Land Commission was applied to to fix Carrigallen as the place for hearing these applications; whether that request was refused, and on what grounds; and, whether, in consequence of this refusal, the suitors were obliged to walk 14 or 15 miles, and most of them to be absent from their homes from Tuesday to Saturday, being detained to suit the convenience of the landlord, who did not attend when the cases were called?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

The Land Commissioners report that, unfortunately, they have been unable to furnish a reply, the Notice being insufficient.
