HC Deb 01 August 1904 vol 139 cc277-8
MR. J. F. X. O'BRIEN

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the delay in regard to the hearing of the land appeal case of Mr. T. Mahony, 35, Wellington Road, Cork, which was entered in the chief Land Commission Court in April, 1902, and has not yet been heard; whether he is aware that the Commissioners sat in Cork in June, 1903, only to hear postponed cases; that they sat again in May of this year, and did not hear any of the cases listed from Cork division; and whether he can say when Mr. Mahony's case is likely to be heard.

MR. WYNDHAM

I am informed that this case was on the list for hearing in May, but that it could not be dealt with within the time at the disposal of the Commissioners. It accordingly stands over to the next Cork Sitting on the understanding that it will be placed first in the appeal list for hearing at Cork.

MR. J. F. X. O'BRIEN

When is that likely?

MR. WYNDHAM

I do not know.
