HC Deb 19 March 1891 vol 351 c1436
MR. DONAL SULLIVAN (Westmeath, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland has his attention been drawn to the fact that the appeal in the case of Thomas Metcalfe, tenant, Graves Cathrew, landlord, union of Baltinglass, County Wicklow, from the dismiss of his originating notice served 29th September, 1887, by order of 21st March 1890, has not yet been heard, and when it is likely to come on?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR,) Manchester, E.

The Land Commissioners report that the case referred to was dismissed by the Sub-Commission on the 8th May, 1890, on the ground that the tenant was not in bonâ fide occupation within the meaning of the Act. The appeal will be heard in its proper turn, but the Commissioners are unable at the present moment to name a day.
