§ MR. M'CARTAN (Down, S.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether, considering the expenditure of money now imposed upon tenants applying to have a fair rent fixed, by obliging every such tenant to lodge in the Court before the hearing an Ordnance Survey Map, showing the boundaries of his farm, he will suggest to the Land Commission the desirability of withdrawing this rule, and the convenience of attaining the same object by supplying to each Sub-Commission Ordnance Maps of the districts in which fair rents are to be fixed, with the boundaries of the different holdings having been first coloured thereon in the Valuation Office?
THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN)(who replied) said (Dublin University)The Land Commissioners report that the whole question of the production of maps at the hearing of cases before Sub-Commissioners is at present under their consideration, one of the points before them being practically the same as that suggested for adoption in this Question.
