HC Deb 20 June 1901 vol 95 cc922-3
MR. DILLON

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland whether he will state why the receiver on the Fitzgerald estate, in the county Westmeath, has been ordered to sue for the hanging gale, and whether he has sanctioned this proceeding.

MR. ATKINSON

This estate is under the jurisdiction of the Land Court. No proceedings have been taken by th receiver, and will not be taken unless by the direction of the land judge. The executive Government has no control in the matter.
