§ MR. T. W. RUSSELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state how many holdings on the Verner estate in County Tyrone have been sold to the tenants, the number unsold, and the reasons which prevent the transfer to the tenants of the mountainous part of the property?
*MR. J. MORLEYThe Land Commissioners report that 347 applications to buy have been sanctioned. The title of the landlord was only lodged yesterday, and negotiations are still pending between the landlord and the solicitor for the majority of the tenants with reference to a certain question of turbary rights, which must be concluded before the transaction can he closed. In 26 cases the application of the tenants have not been sanctioned.
