§ MR. J. N. RICHARDSONasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, at the approaching sittings of the Land Commissioners at Belfast, there are 63 cases of appeal entered for hearing from the county Armagh, of which 49 are on the part of the landlords; and, whether, in view of the expense thus likely to be entailed on poor persons, Her Majesty's Government will recommend the Land Commissioners to hold a special sitting in Armagh for the purpose of disposing of these cases?
§ MR. TREVELYANThe Land Commissioners inform me that, in selecting places for the sittings of the Court of Appeal, they choose those towns which are, on the whole, most convenient to the majority of suitors. They decided to hear appeals from Armagh in Belfast, and their arrangements could not be changed without much inconvenience to the public.
