§ MR. FFRENCH (Wexford, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, seeing that estates have been taken out of the Land Judge's Court to prevent the application of the 40th section, he can state by whom, and how many have been taken out of court during the last twelve months.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe number of petitions dismissed in the Land Judge's Court during the year ended 31st October, 1900 (the latest date to which statistics are available), was twenty-one. As the petitioners acted in the exercise of their legal rights, I fail to see that any public purpose would be served by publishing a list of their names.
