§ MR. GILHOOLY (Cork Co., W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the action of the receiver on the White Estate, near Bantry in serving a number of these 1122 tenants with civil bills for arrears due; and whether, in view of the position of these tenants, he will cause the immediate sale of the White Estate, which has been listed since 1898, in order that said arrears may be arranged in the purchase.
§ MR. WYNDHAMTwelve tenants on this estate have been served with civil bills. The receiver, who is responsible to the land judge for any action he may take, states he has been impelled to take these proceedings because there is a disposition on the part of some of the tenants to withhold payment of rent pending the sale of the estate. In reply to the concluding inquiry, I must refer to my answer to the hon. Member's Question of Thursday last.†
