MR. PATRICK O'BRIENOn behalf of the hon. Member for North Kerry, I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the 786 Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state what quantity of land is held by Captain R. Leslie, D.L., of Tarbert, county Kerry, in his own possession, and how many labourers' cottages, if any, have been erected by the local authority on the land in Captain Leslie's possession; and whether Captain Leslie has been a consenting party to the erection of labourers' cottages on his lands.
§ MR. G. W. BALFOURThe clerk of the rural district council! states that the quantity of land held by Captain Leslie in his own possession is 452 acres, the valuation of which is £274. The number of labourers' cottages erected by the local authority on this land is six. Captain Leslie has, so the clerk states, consented to the erection of two of these cottages.
