§ CAPTAIN STACPOOLEsaid, he rose to ask the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Whether the Irish Landed Estates Court now employed the Ordnance Department exclusively for all its Surveys and Valuations, and whether at a higher rate of remuneration than used to be paid to the professional gentlemen previously employed for that purpose?
§ MR. CARDWELLstated that the Judges of the Landed Estates Court finding that the plans on which the titles sought to be established were incorrectly and imperfectly made out under the former system, had recourse to the Ordnance Department for assistance. The total cost of the plans was now 4d. per acre, but the charge in the aggregate was less than under the former unsatisfactory mode of preparation.
