HC Deb 13 August 1883 vol 283 c262
MR. O'KELLY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether two of the Sub-Commissioners appointed for the counties Eos-common, Sligo, and Leitrim, namely, Messrs. Morrison and Henston, did on the 11th July last in proceeding to visit the farm of Mr. John Watters, who had an application for the fixing of a fair rent heard at the sitting of their Sub-Commission in Carrick-on-Shannon, drive to the farm in the trap of the landlord, Mr. C. C. B. Whyte, D.L., Hatly Manor, in company with Mr. Whyte and his bailiff; whether in the decisions delivered at Mohill subsequently the Sub-Commissioners fixed the judicial rent in this case at the old rent; and, whether a competent valuer swore that the old rent was a rack rent?

MR. TREVELYAN

A communication has been addressed to the Sub-Commissioners named, asking them for a Report on this matter; but I am informed that as they are at present taking their vacation, some days may elapse before their reply is received.
