§ MR. HEALYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether Mr. J. A. Headech, who has been appointed Sub-Commissioner for Antrim and Derry, is the same Mr. J. A. Headech whose Tipperary tenants have recently applied to the Land Court at Borrisokane?
§ MR. W. E. FORSTER,in reply, said, that he was the same gentleman. Eleven cases were listed. In four of the instances he was owner of the lands, and in seven he was only trustee. He (Mr. W. E. Forster) wished to take that opportunity of referring the hon. Member for Wexford (Mr. Healy) and others to reports that appeared in the Tipperary papers regarding the proceedings before the Sub-Commissioners. On reading them he thought the hon. Member 1657 would admit they did not bear out his recent assertion that Mr. Headech was on bad terms with his tenants, who, on the contrary, spoke highly of him, and confirmed the impression that he was a very fit person to be appointed Sub-Commissioner.
