HC Deb 02 July 1900 vol 85 cc287-8
MR. MACALEESE

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Irish Land Commission on being applied to by a former tenant to act as mediators under Section 47 of the Land Law (Ireland) Act, 1896, the usual statutory notice of such application having been served by the said Commission upon the landlord, and he having failed to give notice within the prescribed time of his objection to such application, have power to extend the time allowed for lodging such objection; and whether the landlord, being prevented by disability from lodging his objection, it is competent for another person to do so on his behalf.

MR. G. W. BALFOUR

It is not possible to answer this question upon the information given; if, however, the hon. Member will furnish me with the names of the parties to the proceedings mentioned I will endeavour to have the case identified.
