HC Deb 16 April 1883 vol 278 cc316-7
MR. MOLLOY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether certain land cases in the neighbourhood of Roscrea, King's County, which wore adjudicated upon by the Land Commission, and appealed against by Lord Ross, the landlord, have been listed for hearing in Mullingar, at a distance of forty miles from the neighbourhood of the tenants; and, whether, considering the poverty of these tenants, he will appeal to the Land Commissioners to change the venue of this appeal to Maryborough, which will be within reach of the tenants, and so enable them to attend the appeals and watch their own interests?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, the Land Commissioners inforn me that there are nine appeals by Lord Ross from the King's County, listed for hearing at Mullingar. They further state that on the application of most of the solicitors engaged in appeals from that county, they have intimidated their readiness to hear such appeals, with the consent of both parties, in Dublin, but they could not make arrangements to hear them at Maryborough.
