MR. FIELDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can insert a clause in the Evicted Tenants (Ireland) Bill to meet such cases as that of John Mackey, of Penrath, Waterford, as otherwise it might possibly be held by the arbitrators that it was not an eviction within the ordinary acceptation of the term "evicted tenant," inasmuch as it was a question of disputed title and not for non-payment of rent the eviction was effected?
MR. J. MORLEYI think the proper answer to this question is that it is impossible to consider detailed cases merely referred to by the name of the person, and then to ask me whether I consider such cases come within the purview of the Bill, and if they do not, whether I will alter the Bill so as to bring them within it. I do not think I can undertake to deal with the Bill in that spirit or from that point of view.
