§ CAPTAIN DONELAN (for Mr. SWIFT MACNEILL)On behalf of my hon. friend, I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland whether he is aware that notice was served on upwards of fifty applicants for the fixing of fair rents of their holdings situate in the districts of Glencolombkiln and Kilcar that their applica- 934 tions would be heard by a sub-commission sitting at Killybegs, a distance of upwards of thirty miles from some of their holdings; whether he is aware that the hearing of these cases has been adjourned till after Easter; and whether steps will be taken to secure the hearing of these cases in Carrick, which can be reached by the tenants with less inconvenience, and is nearer their holdings.
§ MR. ATKINSONWith regard to the first paragraph, I would refer to my reply to the similar question addressed to me by the hon. Member on the 2nd instant. At the sitting of the Sub-Commissioners at Killybegs on the 1st instant application was made for the adjournment of a number of cases, and in granting the adjournment it was arranged that the cases should be heard at Carrick on a date to be fixed hereafter.
