§ MR. HOWORTHI beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland if he is now in a position to inform the House 853 whether landlords in Ireland who are selling their farms are also selling their houses and demesnes; and whether he can furnish a Return on the subject?
§ MR. MADDENThe Land Purchase Commissioners have no information that would lead them to believe that resident landlords in Ireland are selling their houses and demesnes consequent upon their having sold their estates under the Purchase Act. It appears extremely doubtful that any case could be found of a landlord leaving the country in consequence of his having sold his estate to his tenants under that Act.
