HC Deb 14 April 1885 vol 296 c1625
MR. LEA

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If his attention has been called to words of Mr. Justice O'Hagan upon the Turf question, reported in The Freeman's Journal of March 19th, as follows:— There would be nothing more desirable than some statutory power of arbitrating between landlord and tenant as regards Turf rights, because it is easy to see they would be the source of heart-burnings hereafter; and, if the Government will undertake Legislation which the head of the Land Commission states to be so "very desirable?"

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

I am aware that the question of turf rights is one about which considerable interest has been felt; but the Government have no intention of bringing in any measure on the subject this Session.
