§ COLONEL O'BEIRNEasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether it is the case that the Assizes for the county Leitrim commence on the 5th instant; whether the Chief Land Commissioners have fixed the same and following days for hearing appeals in county Letrim land cases at Enniskillen; and, whether, in view of the impossibility of persons interested in appeal cases, and who are obliged to attend the Assizes in various capacities, being also able to attend at Enniskillen, he will represent to the Land Commissioners the propriety of postponing to a later date cases from the county Leitrim?
§ MR. TREVELYANI believe the Assizes for the county of Leitrim are appointed to commence on the date mentioned. I communicated with the Land Commissioners on this subject, and have received, in reply, the following telegram:—The Land Commissioners arranged long since to sit at Enniskillen on the 5th instant, to hear appeals from Fermanagh and Monaghan, and from portions of Leitrim, Cavan, and Donegal. They intend to sit at Enniskillen from the 5th to the 8th, and then adjourn on account of the Assizes till the 12th. The Fermanagh cases will be taken first when the sitting commences on the 5th instant, and it is possible the Leitrim cases may not be reached before the adjournment on the 8th—by which time it is presumed the Assizes for that county will have concluded.
