HC Deb 25 April 1881 vol 260 c1079
MR. BIGGAR

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he could state what number of ejectment processes have been entered in county courts, Ireland, at Spring Sessions this year, up till the 22nd instant, and how many were entered at the Spring Sessions of 1880; and, how many decrees for possession were granted at each of said terms?

MR. W. E. FORSTER

I have already given a Return showing the number of ejectment decrees entered down to Michaelmas Term, 1880, to which I would refer the hon. Member. I shall present further Returns down to the end of last Hilary Term; but in some counties the Quarter Sessions have not been long concluded, and in others they are only just concluded, so that it cannot be presented just yet. I shall also present a Return of the civil bills in each county in Ireland during the last four years, and I hope that will be ready in a short time.
