HC Deb 04 February 1902 vol 102 cc368-9
MR. MURNAGHAN (Tyrone, Mid.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, if he can state whether the claims for turbary on the Ogilby Estate, near Omagh, county Tyrone, have been disposed of, and if the rental is yet settled; or is delay in selling to the tenants due to opposition on the part of receiver or incumbrancers, or because of insufficiency of staff of the Commissioners; and is he able to approximate a date when the sale of the land to the tenants will take place.

MR. WYNDHAM

The rental is not yet settled, nor can it be until the claims for turbary have been disposed of. The delay is not due to any of the causes assigned in the question, but solely to the action of some two or three tenants who have resisted the claims of the remaining tenants to certain rights of turbary. A notice is about to be served on the former requiring them to state their objections, which will then be adjudicated upon by the Judge and the settlement of the rental proceeded with.
