HC Deb 10 March 1896 vol 38 c609
MR. ENGLEDOW

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, having regard to the condition of the Clongorey evicted tenants, whose late holdings are all at present in the hands of the landlord, he would be prepared to lend his co-operation in order to assist in bringing about an amicable arrangement, by which these poor people would be reinstated in their holdings in time for them to make preparations to crop the land during the coming season?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

It is not in my power to intervene in a matter of this kind, but if my co-operation were invited by both parties I would gladly do what I could to promote a settlement.
