§ MR. DILLON (Mayo, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the 40th section, of the Land Act of 1896 has been applied to the Stewart Estate in County Tyrone; and why the offer of the tenants has not been accepted; whether he can state what is the present position of the estate.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe petition for sale of this estate was dismissed in March, 1897, by order of the Land Judge, who has, therefore, no further jurisdiction in the matter.
