MR. MARUM (Kilkenny, N.)

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, When he will be in a position to name a Select Committee or a Commission of Experts, as may be, to inquire into and report upon the question as to family and other charges on land, the subject-matter of paragraph 61 of the Report of four members of the Royal Commission on the Land Acts (Ireland), grounded upon the Minutes of Evidence taken before it?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

in reply, said, this matter had received the attention of the Government; but no conclusion had been arrived at. He was afraid he could hold out no hope of any definite conclusion being arrived at on the subject.
