HC Deb 22 July 1889 vol 338 cc980-1
MR. HAYDEN (Leitrim, S.)

I beg to ask the Solicitor General for Ireland whether he is aware that, although two tenants of Aughamore, County Leitrim, on the estate of Colonel Forbes, served notice to have a fair rent fixed, in October 1887, only one of these cases has been listed for hearing at the forthcoming Commission Court at Mohill; and, what is the reason for further postponing the hearing of the other tenant's case, in which the rent is believed to be very excessive?

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

The Land Commissioners report that there are 141 cases listed for hearing from the Union of Mohill. These include all originating notices received at their office between September 29 and October 26, 1887. The two originating notices in the case of the tenant Robert Notley, to which the Commissioners presume the hon Member refers, were not received until after the latter date, and could not, therefore, be listed.
