§ MR. PINKERTON (Galway)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a number of appeals from 546 fair rents fixed by the County Antrim Sub-Commission at Larne in May, 1885, were only listed for hearing at the last sitting of the Chief Commission in Belfast on 27th May, 1889; whether he is aware that the revised list for that sitting contained 179 cases, and, notwithstanding that a considerable number had been settled, the Court concluded its sitting on reaching Appeal No. 108, thereby leaving upwards of 70 cases unheard, and that the farmers concerned in these unheard cases were put to great expense and inconvenience by having to attend with their witnesses for several days before they were told that their cases would not then be heard; whether arrangements will be made not to list a greater number of cases than the Commission can dispose of at a sitting; and, when the Chief Commission will next sit in Belfast?
§ MR. A. J. BALFOURI have not yet received a Report on the subject. Perhaps the hon. Member will be good enough to repeat the question tomorrow.
