§ MR. O'DOHERTY (Donegal, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the 79 Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state what, approximately, is the amount of money charged by way of mortgage on Irish landed estates.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI am not in a position to give this information. There is no material officially available from which to ascertain it, but it is a matter of common knowledge that many properties are very heavily mortgaged.
