§ MR. JOHN CAMPBELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the recent appeal case of Ferguson, tenant, Earl of Gos-ford, landlord, at Armagh, in which Mr. Justice Meredith considered himself bound, under Section 20 of the Land Act, 1881, to support the ruling of the legal Assistant Commissioner, that the purchaser from a tenant against whom ejectment proceedings have been taken for non-payment of a rent fixed by judicial agreement is for ever precluded from entering a land court to have the rent revised, or a further judicial term created in respect of the tenancy; and whether he proposes to take any steps to amend this state of matters.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe case, I am informed, is still sub judice, and this being so, I am unable to make any statement in reference to it.
