§ MR. WICKHAM (Hants, Peters-field)I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War if he is aware that notice has been given by the War Department to the occupiers of certain grazing rights on part of Wolmer Forest that such occupations will not be renewed after next Michaelmas; and, if so, if he will take into consideration the great loss and hardship which will be suffered by many poor persons by the withdrawal of rights which they have enjoyed for many years past?
§ *THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN,) Stirling, &c.In consequence of the absence of fences, and consequent danger of cattle straying, it became necessary to resume a letting in Wolmer Forest, and a week's notice, in accordance with the terms in the agreement, was given to the tenant. The tenant represented that it would cause inconvenience, and requested to be allowed to continue the tenancy to Michaelmas. Permission to do so was at once given.
§ MR. WICKHAMBut does not this tenant represent dozens of smaller tenants?
§ MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMANI believe he sub-lets, but they are only tenants under him.
