HC Deb 23 February 1891 vol 350 c1365
MR. MATTHEW KENNY (Tyrone, Mid)

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland if he is aware that the Receiver on the estate of Sir John M. Stewart's Termon Estate, County Tyrone, has taken Civil Bill proceedings against tenants for the recovery of certain rents, notwithstanding that a notice had been served on the tenants by order of the Receiver Judge authorising abatements of rent if paid by a date which will not be reached for a month hence; if the Receiver Judge will take notice of this breach of faith with the tenants; and if, in the event of eviction proceedings being resorted to under the circumstances, he will advise the Lord Lieutenant to withhold the service of the Forces of the Crown?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN, Dublin University)

The management of the estate referred to is in the hands of the Receiver Judge, to whom application should be made, if the tenants think they have reason to complain of the action of the Receiver.
