HC Deb 20 July 1894 vol 27 cc546-7
MR. D. SULLIVAN (Westmeath, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that Mrs. Rochford-Boyd, of Middleton Park, County Westmeath, has evicted a number of tenants from her estates in that county during the past seven years, and that she has lately put in possession of the evicted farms as bonâ fide tenants her gamekeeper, her butcher, her coachman, and other retainers of her household; and whether, under the provisions of the Evicted Tenants Bill, those tenants will be entitled to compensation?

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. J. MORLEY,) Newcastle-upon-Tyne

I am informed by the constabulary that there is no foundation for the allegations in the first paragraph of this question.
