§ MR. MACALEESEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland upon what ground the Chief Land Commission selected Messrs. Thompson and M'Kenzie to act as appeal valuers in the Monaghan Union, since these gentlemen have had no experience and can have but little knowledge of tillage farming in Ulster; and, will the Chief Land Commission recall these valuers, and appoint in their stead others conversant with the difficulties small farmers in the Monaghan Union have to contend against?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURThe selection of appeal valuers is a matter entirely within the discretion of the Land Commissioners, and is not one in which the Irish Government can take any action.
