HC Deb 16 May 1882 vol 269 c827
MR. W. J. CORBET

asked Mr. Attorney General for Ireland, Whether any steps can be taken to avoid the great inconvenience and expense that will be caused to applicants under the Land Act by the removal of the Sub-Commissioners' Court from Tinahely to Wicklow and Carlow; and, whether, to save the small farmers from the expense consequent on having to take their witnesses so far away from home, arrangements could be made for the Sub-Commissioners to hold their Court in Tinahely as before?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. W. M. JOHNSON)

Sir, the times and places of the several sittings of the Sub-Commissioners are advertised extensively through Ireland, and at foot of the advertisement is stated— Each Court will hear applications on the first day of their sitting as to the hearing of the cases in the list at other towns within the Unions than the town above-mentioned, to suit the convenience of parties. Every farmer concerned, therefore, has notice that he can apply on the first day of the sitting of the Sub-Commission to have his case heard at such other town in the Union as may be convenient.
