§ MR. FFRENCH (Wexford, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the salaries of the receivers, the officers in the Land Judge's Court, and the solicitors on each estate are paid out of the estates in the Land Judge's Court, and seeing that such a system of payment delays or prevents sales, only slow progress being made in the sale of such estates, the Government will endeavour to devise some other method of payment.
§ MR. WYNDHAMYes, Sir, but the change suggested would involve an addition to charges on public funds, which are already very heavy in respect of land purchase. I am assured that the present method of remuneration does not entail delay. I cannot discuss previous or future legislation.
