§ SIR THOMAS ESMONDE (Dublin Co., S.)asked the Secretary of State for War, Who are the tenants of the Martello towers at Monkstown and Blackrock, County Dublin; what the condition of the tenancies are; and, when they cease?
§ THE SURVEYOR GENERAL OF ORDNANCE (Mr. NORTHCOTE) (Exeter)(who replied) said, the towers were let to Mr. T. W. Robinson, of Dublin, at £7 each. They were held under a repairing agreement, which was terminable upon three months notice on either side; but, by the War Department, the agreement might be terminated summarily subject to a small penalty.
