§ MR. WILLIAM REDMOND (Clare, E)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to 1807 the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, if he will state who supplied the information, and on what date, to the Land Commission that the Reverend Mr. Elliott had constituted one of his sub-tenants caretaker of her portion of the holding, and that the other two sub-tenants had surrendered their interests to Mr. Elliott; did the Land Commission, or their inspector, make any inquiry to ascertain if the conditions under which they held their portions had been correctly represented; and, if not, will they now do so, and cancel the sale should the representations prove to have been incorrect.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. WYNDHAM,) DoverThe information on which the Land Commission acted in respect to the circumstances under which the Rev. Mr. Elliott became tenant of the holding was furnished by that gentleman to the Inspector of the Land Commission. The offer to purchase was made by the Land Judge to Mr. Elliot, as the tenant in occupation of the holding. The Land Commission state that nothing can be gained by making the further inquiries suggested, and that the sale under the circumstances cannot be cancelled.
In reply to another Question, Mr. Wyndham promised to make further inquiry into this case.
