§ COLONEL DIGBYasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, on the estate of Captain Hill, in the county Donegal, out of eighty-four cases recently adjudicated upon by Mr. William Gray, Sub-Commissioner under the Land Act of 1881, the reductions were so extreme that the landlord has appealed against his decisions in every case?
§ MR. TREVELYANThe Land Commissioners inform me that Captain Hill, of county Donegal, has appealed in 84 cases from the decisions of the Sub-Commission of which Mr. Gray was a member.
§ MR. LEAasked whether the right hon. Gentleman would take measures to prevent the intimidation of Mr. Gray and other Sub-Commissioners by Questions asked in that House?
§ MR. TREVELYANI cannot take any steps such as are suggested by the hon. Member; but I think it is very unfortunate that Questions of this kind should be asked so frequently. I always regret that they should be put, from, whatever quarter of the House they may come.
