HC Deb 27 August 1889 vol 340 cc579-80
MR. HENRY CAMPBELL (Fermanagh, S.)

I beg to ask the Solicitor General for Ireland if an application has been made to the Land Commission by John M'Manus for the purchase-money of his farm at Lisblake, near Killesher, County Fermanagh, of Mrs. Brackenridge, the landlady of this farm; have the Land Commission satisfied themselves that Mrs. Brackenridge has a satisfactory title to this farm; is he aware that M'Manus defeated her claim to a title in respect to this holding on two occasions in Court; and that this decision was reversed on a third trial in consequence of M'Manus's legal adviser not appearing to look after his interests; have the Land Commission advanced the money for the purchase, or is it their intention to advance it in this case; and, if not, will he explain on what grounds; and what communications have passed between Mrs. Brackenridge and the Land Commission?

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. MADDEN,) University of Dublin

The Land Commission report that no application has been received by them, nor is there any record of any communication having passed between them and Mrs. Brackenridge on the subject.
