§ MR. MAURICE HEALYI beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland whether the first Return of Estates to which Section 40 of the Land Law (Ireland) Act 1890, is to be applied as directed by the Rules under that section is now ready, and whether it will be printed and presented to the House?
§ THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELANDThe first Return is now ready. There is nothing in the Statute or Rules requiring that it should be laid upon the Table of the House, but having regard to the general interest taken in the subject at present, the Irish Government are willing that the Return should be laid upon the Table of the House, reserving to themselves the right to decline to do so in the case of future Returns, should it be found undesirable to publish, them.
