§ MR. W. A. MACDONALDI beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether he can state how many cases of tenants from the Mountmellick Union, who had served originating notices to have fair rents fixed, were heard by the Sub-Commissioners sitting at Maryborough last month; how many cases were postponed; and why the case of Mr. Carroll, of Gossbrook, in the Mountmellick Union, who served an originating notice to have a fair rent fixed as long ago as October, 1887, has not yet been heard?
§ MR. MADDENThe Land Commissioners report that 57 cases from the Mountmellick Union were listed for hearing at Maryborough, and were heard and disposed of on the 10th, 11th, and 12th of June, Three cases were post- 1315 poned; one in consequence of the recent death of the landlord; one at the request of the parties to effect an arrangement of the future rent; and one for the purpose of ascertaining the proper area of the holding. The case of Mr. Carroll, of Gossbrook, will appear on the list for 8th October next, with other cases from the same district. This case was not in the same district as the cases which appeared for hearing on recent lists.
