§ MR. KILBRIDE(for Mr. LEAHY) (Kildare, S.) (Kerry, S.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether he is aware that the Land Sub-Commissioners have only sat at Athy for three days to dispose of 43 eases during the last 14 months, and that, in the list published last Friday of intended sittings from next January until July, there is no time fixed for County of Kildare or town of Athy; and, whether the Land Commissioners will arrange for an early sitting next year in that town; and, if so, at what date they may be expected?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)The Land Commissioners inform me that a Sub-Commission sat in Athy last September and disposed of all originating notices received up to, and including, September 27, 1887, 43 in number. The Commissioners have arranged, as indicated in their Circuit List issued on December 3, that the Sub Commission, which will commence its sittings in Navan on January 9, shall proceed to the County Kildare after the cases from the County Meath have been heard.
