HC Deb 20 May 1903 vol 122 cc1218-9
MR. J. P. FARRELL (Longford, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he will explain why Mr. Commissioner Murrough O'Brien is not now sitting with the other Commissioners to hear appeal cases; and whether he can arrange that Mr. O'Brien shall sit solus to determine cases not involving legal questions.

MR. WYNDHAM

The composition of the Land Commission when hearing appeals is arranged by the Commissioners amongst themselves, having regard to their other official engagements. I have no information in respect to the matter mentioned in the first part of the Question, and no power to act as suggested at the conclusion of the Question.
