HC Deb 19 August 1889 vol 339 c1655
MR. M'CARTAN

I beg to ask the Solicitor General for Ireland whether he is aware that the Land Commission have recently made a new rule requiring certain appellants to state, within 14 days of the date of a notice served by the Commission on the appellant, the ground of appeal intended to be relied on, and intimating to the appellant that if the form sent by the Commission is not received within the period stated, or if the information supplied is not such as to satisfy the Commission, the appeal will be liable to be struck out of the list, and will not be listed again without a special order of the Court; whether this rule is intended to apply to all cases of appeal now entered for hearing; and, whether, considering that an appeal from the Sub-Commission or County Court is considered to be a rehearing of the case, the Land Commission is acting within its powers in enforcing such a rule?

MR. MADDEN

I have not yet received a Report, and must, therefore, ask the hon. Gentleman to postpone the question until to-morrow.
