§ MR. P. J. O'BRIEN (Tipperary, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state when the Land Commission will proceed to dispose of the large number of cases of appeal which remain over from the district of North Tipperary; and whether steps will be taken to arrange that the Commissioners do hold their sitting at Nenagh (as formerly) for the hearing of such appeals, and so obviate the necessity for tenants and their witnesses from North Tipperary being obliged to attend at Limerick at great additional inconvenience and expense?
§ MR. JACKSONThe Land Commissioners report that in the list of cases for hearing before the Court of Appeal at Limerick on the 21st inst. there are only nine appeals entered from the County of Tipperary, all of them being appeals on points of law. No date has yet been fixed for the sitting of the Appeal Court to hear the outstanding cases from the County of Tipperary. When arrangements are being made for a sitting for North Tipperary cases the convenience of suitors and all persons interested will be carefully considered, but at present it is not possible to state the name of the town at which the sitting will be held.
