HC Deb 18 February 1897 vol 46 c719
MR. E. CARSON (Dublin University)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland on what grounds the Irish Land Commission have refused to allow Mr. Harvey, who gave evidence of value before the Sub-Commission Court in certain cases of Mr. Collum in Fermanagh and has since been appointed a Sub-Commissioner, to give evidence upon an appeal brought by Mr. R. Collum; and whether the Land Commission have power to prevent Mr. Harvey from attending to give evidence if served with a subpoena ad test?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

It has been found necessary to refer this Question to the Land Commissioners, who are at present on Circuit, and I am not in a position to reply to-day. I hope, however, to have the information necessary to enable me to reply to-morrow, but, if not, I will be able to do so on Monday next.
