§ MR. HAYDEN (for Mr. CAREW,) Kildare, N.I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether he is aware that a site for the erection of a labourer's cottage, on a farm adjoining the Curragh of Kildare, has been selected and approved of by the Naas Board of Guardians, and that the contractor employed by the Guardians for the building of the cottage has been unable to undertake the work, in consequence of the refusal of the Deputy Ranger of the Curragh to allow him access to the site; and whether, inasmuch as the only means of access is across a strip of waste land about nine yards in width between the public road and the farm, over which a right of way has always existed, he will state under what authority the Deputy Ranger is acting in closing up a right of way?
SIR J. GORSTThe right of way alleged has never existed. An attempt was made to assert such right of way by pulling down the Curragh boundary fence. The Deputy Ranger applied to the Court, and a perpetual injunction has been granted.
