HC Deb 24 July 1883 vol 282 cc290-1
MR. HEALY

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, In what number of cases dismissed under section 21 of Land Act, where the evidence was fully heard, were transcripts of the shorthand writer's notes made for the Land Commission (excluding those dismissed on preliminary legal points); and, whether there would be any difficulty in furnishing the names of the litigants in such cases, and also the names in similar cases where no transcript of evidence was made by the shorthand writer?

MR. TREVELYAN

Sir, the number of such cases in which the evidence was transcribed was 38. The Land Commissioners inform me that they can give a nominal list of the cases in which the notes were transcribed; but that to do so in the cases in which they were not transcribed would involve considerable expense and take some time.

MR. HEALY

asked whether a list of the 38 cases would be laid on the Table?

MR. TREVELYAN

Yes, Sir.
