§ MR. HEMPHILL (Tyrone, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland what is the aggregate annual amount of the lay tithe rent-charge now payable in Ireland; and whether the persons liable to pay such tithe rent-chage are almost altogether of the landlord class.
§ MR. G. W. BALFOURLay tithe rent-charge is not payable to the Irish Land Commission, and they have no statistics either as to its amount or the persons liable to pay it.
