§ Mr. TULLYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has inquired what are the grounds on which the Board of Works officials refused to let to Thomas Butler, of Jamestown, County Leitrim, the portion of land in their control which was lately in the possession of Mrs. Revnolds, who emigrated in March last to America; and whether he is prepared to state the reasons, if any, for such refusal?
§ SIR J. T. HIBBERTThe Board of Works inform me that they have arranged to let the land in question to a tenant whom, after full inquiry, they considered more suitable than Mr. Butler, and whose garden immediately adjoins it.
