§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, whether he is aware that on a recent occasion two tenants living in Lehery, Barony of Rathcline, County Longford, who were evicted from their farms in 1881, were visited by the police with a view to ascertaining the facts in connection with the case; and, if so, whether it is proposed to include in the Irish Land Bill a clause that will enable such evicted tenants to be restored to their former holdings.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (MR. WYNDHAM,) DoverThese and other visits by the police were necessitated in order to collect information for the return in the name of the hon. Member for South Tipperary. I cannot anticipate the Committee stage of the Land Bill by way of question and answer.
