§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland can he state the cause of delay in the transfer to the tenants of the O'Brien, Dundas, and Smyth estates, in the townlands of Corglass and Comakelly, the tenants of which had made arrangements with their landlords to purchase, and the latter being avowedly anxious to sell: whether, seeing that proceedings are now pending in the matter, he will urge the Land Commission to push forward the sales and transfer without any further delay.
§ MR. WYNDHAMProceedings for the sale of the lands in question have not, so far, been instituted in the Land Commission.
§ MR. J. P. FARRELLIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that on a previous occasion he promised to make representations on the subject to the Land Judge.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThere appears to be some misapprehension. The matter must come before the Land Commission, and I am told it has not yet reached that stage. I will inquire further, however, if the hon. Member desires.
