MR. MACARTNEYasked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether, considering the great inconvenience and expense incurred by Irish landlords and tenants in attending at the towns where the Court of Appeal of Irish Land Commission at present hold their sittings for the purpose of hearing appeals from the decisions of the Sub-Commissions, arrangements cannot be made for holding sittings of the appeal court in the assize town of each county, so as to diminish as much as possible that inconvenience and expense which is now seriously felt by landlords, tenants, witnesses, counsel, and solicitors?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)Sir, I am informed by the Secretary to the Land Commission that, looking at the time at the disposal of the Commission, it is absolutely impracticable for them to hold sittings in every Assize town to hear appeals.
