§ MR. DALYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state how many decrees for rent and possession were obtained by landlords at the Quarter Sessions held at Carrickmacross in October 1896, 1897, and 1898, also at Castle-blaney in Octosber and January 1896, 1897, and 1898, and January 1899, and at Coothill in January 1896, 1897, 1898, and 1899; and, if he can also state the number of decrees obtained by the. Irish Land Commission against tenants at Car rickmacross and Castleblaney for dates mentioned above?
§ MR. GERALD BALFOURI have not yet received full reports enabling me to give the honourable Member the information he desires to-day. In any case, the reports will deal with a mass of figures which it would be inconvenient to read in the form of an Answer to a Question, and as soon as I am in possession of complete reports I will privately communicate the figures to the honourable Member.
