HC Deb 11 May 1888 vol 326 cc34-5
MR. J. E. ELLIS (Nottingham, Rushcliffe)

asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, Whether he can state the acreage represented respectively by the 136,722 cases of fair rent disposed of in Court, and the 94,469 cases of agreement out of Court, reported by the Irish Land Commission up to end of March, 1888?

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN) (Dublin University)

The Land Commissioners inform me that no record is kept of the acreage represented by the cases which are struck out, dismissed, or withdrawn. These cases number 37,059. Judicial rents were fixed in Court up to the end of March, 1888, in 99,663 cases. The acreage represented by these cases is 2,966,026. The acreage represented by the 94,469 agreements is 2,441,846.
