§ MR. HAYDENI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that certain tenants on the Ridley Estate, county Westmeath, have been served with writs because they would not agree to the landlord's terms of purchase; and if he will take steps to ensure an inspection by the Estates Commissioners of any holdings agreed to be purchased under such conditions.
§ MR. WYNDHAMOnly one tenant has been served with a writ, the reason being that he withheld payment of his rent. He has since paid. Should the estate come before the Commissioners they will be guided in any action they may take by the provisions of the law.
