§ MR. LUNDON (Limerick, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether, seeing that the management of the Gabbett estate in Cahirconlish, County Limerick, is in the hands of the Judges of the Land Court, he will state who is the receiver under the Court; what has been the average number of years purchase on the existing rentals of the part of the estate sold to the tenants; and whether facilities will be given to the house tenants in the village of Cahirconlish to purchase their holdings on the same lines and terms as the farming tenants; and how soon may such a state of things be brought into existence.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) DoverThe receiver over the estate is Mr. J. B. Barrington. The average number of years purchase paid by the tenants who purchased is eighteen-and-a-half. The property in the village named is no longer under the control of the Land Judge, having been sold to the incumbrancers, but I understand that the latter are prepared to consider proposals by the village tenants for the purchase of their holdings.
