§ MR. LEA (Londonderry, S.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If 3,067 appeals re fair rent remained unheard by the Land Commissioners on the 30th June last; and, how many of these were from the Province of Ulster?
§ MR. M'CARTAN (Down, S.)asked the right hon. Gentleman, if he could say how many fair rent appeals from Ulster there were in respect of town parks adjacent to the towns which the Government had excluded from the benefit of the Irish Land Law Bill?
THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY (Colonel KING-HARMAN) (Kent, Isle of Thanet)(who replied) said: I must ask the hon. Member to give Notice of the Question. With regard to the Question on the Paper, the 915 Land Commissioners report that there were nominally 3,067 appeals pending on the 30th of Juno; 940 of these were from the Province of Ulster. In about 500 cases, however, there were cross appeals—that is, appeals from both landlord and tenant. The number of appeal oases, therefore, that were practically pending on the 30th of June was about 2,500, and of those 774 were from Ulster.
