§ MR. LEA (Londonderry, S.)asked the Solicitor General for Ireland if his attention has been directed to a recent decision of Mr. Commissioner Greer, reported in the Belfast newspapers, whereby it was decided that the assignee of any lease bearing date between the years 1826 and 1832 could not obtain relief under "The Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1887," unless he could produce the consent in writing of his landlord to such assignment; and if such be a correct interpretation of the prohibitive Statute 7 Geo. IV. c. 29, as referred to by Mr. Greer, what steps the Government will take to amend its provisions so as admit the assignee of such leases within the operation of the Irish Land Law Acts 1881, 1887, and 1888?
§ MR. MADDENI have not yet been able to obtain a copy of the decision referred to. I have asked for it however, and hope to receive it shortly.
