HC Deb 27 July 1903 vol 126 cc306-7
MR. NOLAN (Louth, S.)

To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, if his attention has been called to the circumstances attending the attempted eviction of Mrs. M'Quillan, at Collon, by Lord Massereene last week; and whether, seeing that she had paid a year's rent every year for the last twelve years, he will consider whether, in view of the corning Purchase Bill, any representations could be made to the landlord to prevent the woman, who is in ill-health, being dispossessed.

(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) I am informed that the eviction was not carried out on the 10th instant, because a medical certificate was produced to the Sheriff that the woman was too ill to be removed. The police have been informed by the agent of the property that arrears of rent amounting to £84 10s. are due by her at the present date. The Sheriff will not execute the decree of ejectment until the woman can be removed with safety.
