§ MR. KNOX (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Land Commission in hearing appeals in Cavan acted on the Report of Mr. Bomford, whose connection with landlords in the county has been the subject of comment, or whether they obtained any independent evidence; whether he can say in how many cases recently heard in Cavan the rent was raised and in how many lowered; and whether any intimation of the general feeling against the employment of court valuers in places where they are connected with the landlord's interest has been communicated to the Land Commission?
MR. J. MORLEYThe Secretary to the Land Commission informs me that it has been found necessary to refer this question to Mr. Justice Bewley, one of the Commissioners, who is absent from Dublin. My hon. Friend must, therefore, postpone the question till after the recess.
