§ MR. T. M. HEALY (Louth, N.)I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland is he can state on what principle the Land Commission acts in accelerating the hearing of appeals in particular cases; and is there any rule for the guidance of litigants anxious to have their cases heard before their turn arrives in ordinary course.
§ MR. ATKINSONAll fair rent appeals from each county or district are listed for hearing in the order in which the notices of appeal are received in the office of the Land Commission. Any application to have a case taken out of its turn must be made to the Commissioners sitting in court in Dublin upon notice to the opposite party. There is no prescribed rule bearing on the subject, every case must depend on its special circumstances.
§ MR. T. M. HEALYIs the acceleration done behind the backs of the parties?
§ MR. ATKINSONNot that I am aware of. If the hon. Gentleman will put a question down I will inquire further.
