HC Deb 07 August 1884 vol 292 cc100-1
MR. DEASY

asked Mr. Solicitor General for Ireland, If he will state by whom are leases under the Land Judges' Court (Ireland) prepared, on what scale of charges, and by whom fixed; and, if he will also state whether there is any definite period within which a Receiver is bound to submit letting proposals for land after receiving same for the decision of the Judges?

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. WALKER)

The leases are prepared in the Receiver's Office of the Land Judges at a scale fixed by the order of the Court as follows:—Order 3, Rule for preparing lease, 5s.; for counterpart, 2s. 6d. This is above the stamp duty. There is no definite period within which a Receiver is bound to submit letting proposals; but it would be a breach of duty if the period were unnecessarily long.
