§ MR. KILBRIDE (Kerry, S.)asked the Solicitor General for Ireland whether his attention has been called to the fact that at the Land Sessions, held at Listowel, county Kerry, on the 7th inst., the Commissioners reduced an aggregate rental (Messrs. Browne and Mulling landlords) of £403 3s. 2d. to £244 5s. 0d.; whether it is a fact that the presentment for the maintenance of extra police at the March Assizes in Kerry was £5,825; whether this cost for extra police is due to the fact that the land-lords in many instances proceed for the recovery of the arrears of the rack rent 1791 after the judicial rent has been fixed; and, whether, in cases similar to the above, he will refuse the forces of the Crown for the recovery of arrears of rent which a legal tribunal has declared to be 65 per cent in excess of a fair rent?
§ * MR. MADDENI believe the facts are as stated in the question.
§ MR. KILBRIDEIf the hon. and learned Gentleman finds that the rent has been declared by a legal tribunal to be 65 per cent above a fair rent, will the forces of the Crown be lent to assist in its recovery?
§ * MR. MADDENI cannot answer such a question.
