§ MR. DELANYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will state, in view of the recent decision of the Head Land Commission in the cases of Lee v. Nolan, and Folan v. Berridgo, what method the Court Valuers pursued in estimating the rent to be placed upon the kelp industry; and whether any new instructions have been issued by the Land Commission to Court Valuers to enable them to carry out the duties imposed on them under this decision.
§ MR. WYNDHAMIn estimating the annual sum which should be the fair rent of each of the holdings, the Court Valuers estimated only the benefit to the holding from its proximity to the foreshore for seaweed, but they did not take into consideration any advantages which may be derived from the position of the holding with respect to the obtaining of seaweed in the deep sea. No new instructions have been issued to the Court Valuers consequent on the decision of the Chief Commissioners.
