HC Deb 25 March 1898 vol 55 c903
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland can he state the causes which led to the dismissal of the proceedings for sale of Cook's Estate, in the barony of Moydow and county Longford, under the Land Purchase Acts; is he aware that landlord and tenant had agreed to the terms of purchase; and, seeing that no one else suffered, can any steps be taken that the proceedings may go on?

MR. GERALD BALFOUR

It has been found impossible to identify the estate referred to from the information given in the Question. If fuller information is supplied, further inquiry will be made.
