§ MR J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether there are but two legal assistant Land Sub-Commissioners in charge of the five counties of Connaught; how long is it since cases from Tubbercurry Union were beard; and when and where it is proposed to have another sitting to dispose of long standing cases listed from that Union?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURTwo legal assistant Commissioners are employed in Connaught as circumstances require; the number of such Commissioners at work in the several provinces is not, however, regulated by the number of counties in each province, but by the number of fair-rent applications received from each Poor Law Union. A Sub-Commission Court for the bearing of cases from the Tubbercurry Union sat on the 8th October last and disposed of all cases listed for hearing by that Sub-Commission. The hearing of a further list from this Union commences to-day at Manorhamilton.
