HC Deb 09 May 1899 vol 71 c144
MR. M'GHEE

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether he will state the number of sittings of the Chief Land Commission held at Armagh and Belfast respectively since 1st January, 1898: And, at how many of these sittings at Belfast and Armagh respectively Mr. Commissioner Morrogh O'Brien was a member of the Commission sitting there.

* MR. G. W. BALFOUR

The Land Commission Court has sat twice at Armagh and five times at Belfast since the 1st January, 1898. The latter paragraph of the question appears intended to mark an invidious distinction between different Members of the Land Commission and the Commissioners decline, and I think properly decline, to answer it.
