CASE OF WESTROPP v. ELLIGOTT.

HC Deb 15 June 1898 vol 59 c388

MR. T. M. HEALY

I beg to ask the Attorney General for Ireland, is it the fact that the tenant in the case of Westropp v.Elligott, although successful in the House of Lords, was put to such expenses that he was evicted from his farm; has his attention been called to the notice to claimants (Land Commission Record, 497), by which the landlord is seeking to get public money by the sale of the evicted holding; is this sale intended to be made to a relative of the landlord; and will the Land Commission sanction an advance of public money under such circumstances?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.

I shall be glad if the honourable Member will postpone this Question.
