HC Deb 31 March 1890 vol 343 cc272-3
MR. JOHN ELLIS (Nottingham, Rushcliffe)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what is the area and value of the land which has changed hands under "The Sale of Incumbered Estates Act, 1848," up to 31st December, 1889?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

The Registrar to the Land Judges reports that there are no means of ascertaining the area of the land disposed of by sale during the period mentioned. The total receipts for land sold, which, however, includes house property, amounted from 1850 to December 31, 1889, to £54,565,205.
