§ MR. M'CARTAN (Down, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether Mr. W. Jeffcot, who was formerly extensively employed as a landlords' valuer in County Derry, has been recently engaged as a Sub-Commissioner in fixing judicial rents in the county; whether he has been selected to act as a Sub-Commissioner in the Counties of Fermanagh and Monaghan, where he will have to fix rents upon estates which he formerly valued for the landlord; and whether he will direct the attention of the Land Commission to the matter?
MR. J. MORLEYThe Land Commission have found it necessary to communicate with Mr. Jeffcot on this subject, and pending this gentleman's reply I 290 must ask my hon. Friend to defer the question.
