HC Deb 09 March 1900 vol 80 c491
MAJOR JAMESON (Clare, W.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland is he aware that Mr. Robert Greene, of Greenlawn, Ennis, an assistant Land Commissioner, is also a land agent for several estates; is he aware that on the same day Mr. Greene was fixing fair rents he was also distraining in his own name through the sheriff's bailiff in his capacity as land agent and receiver; and will he take steps to stop this anomaly, and prevent Land Commissioners acting as land agents.

MR. ATKINSON (for Mr. G. W. BALFOUR)

This question has been referred to Mr. Greene, and pending the receipt of his observations it is desirable that the question should be postponed. Perhaps the hon. Member will repeat it on Monday.
