§ MR. LEAMYasked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, Whether his attention has been called to a resolution passed at a meeting of the tenants of the Mercers' Company recently held at Kilrea, county Derry, condemning the action of the Company in attempting to force tenants in arrear to sign agreements not to apply to the Court for the purpose of having a fair rent fixed; and, whether the Government intend to take any notice of the statements in the resolution?
§ THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. PORTER), in reply, said, it appeared that the tenants of the Mercers' Company had made certain complaints; but he had not yet had an opportunity of investigating the circumstances. It would be obviously improper on his part to express any opinion on the complaints themselves, and the matter was not one in which Her Majesty's Government ought to interfere.
