§ MR. DELANY (Queen's Co., Ossory)To ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland whether his attention has been directed to the recent decision of the Head Land Commission in the cases of Lee v. Nolan and Folan v. Berridge, in which Mr. Justice Meredith held that, under Section 8 of the Act of 1881, the landlord was entitled to rent on seaweed collected for the manufacture of kelp; and whether the Government propose making any alteration in the law to counteract the effect of this decision upon the occupiers of small holdings on the sea coast in Ireland.
(Answer.) The reply to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative, and to the second in the negative.—(Irish Office.)
