MR. O'BRIENasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether Daniel Murphy, of Ballinclay, county Wicklow, has applied to the Land Commission for a loan to buy Lot 68 on the proporty of Mr. W. R. O'Byrne, said lot being advertised in the particulars of sale as being in possession of the owner; and, if Daniel Murphy's application has been entertained, why a similar application from the evicted tenant of the holding, Joseph O'Brien, was refused by the Land Commission, on the ground that he was not in possession?
§ MR. TREVELYANthe hon. Member for Mallow appears to have been misinformed on this subject. The Land Commissioners report that they have not received any application from Daniel Murphy for a loan to purchase the lot referred to.
