HC Deb 22 July 1889 vol 338 cc989-90
MR. T. W. RUSSELL (Tyrone, S.)

I beg to ask the Solicitor General for Ireland if he can state how many evictions have taken place on the Olphert estate since the adoption of the Plan of Campaign by the tenants; how many of the evictions were on holdings occupied by sub or under tenants; on how many of the holdings had judicial rents been fixed; and, how many of those evicted had served originating notices to have a fair rent fixed?

MR. MADDEN

It appears that 57 evictions have taken place on the Olphert estate since the adoption of the Plan of Campaign by the tenants. Nine of these evictions were from holdings in occupation of sub-tenants. Judicial rents had been fixed on 42 of these holdings. Five of those evicted, and whose rents had not been fixed judicially, had served originating notices, and in another case an application to fix a judicial rent which had been made was dismissed by the Sub-Commissioners.
