HC Deb 18 May 1903 vol 122 cc931-2
MR. LONSDALE (Amargh, Mid)

I beg to ask Mr. Attorney General for Ireland whether, in the case of a landlord holding a portion of his estate under a Trinity College perpetuity lease, that portion may be treated as a separate estate for the purposes of sales under the Irish Land Bill.

THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) Londonderry, N.

The mere fact that a landlord holds from Trinity College portion of the lands which belong to him does not of itself prevent that portion from being treated as an estate.

MR. LONSDALE

Does that apply to all other head landlords?

MR. ATKINSON

said the mere fact that the title under which a landlord derives part of his land differs from the rest does not prevent that portion of his land being treated as a separate estate.
