§ MR. KILBRIDEOn behalf of the hon. Member for East Galway, beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state the number of evicted tenants in the county of Galway who have applied to the Estates Commissioners for reinstatement; how many have been restored; and what has been done either to reinstate the remainder or put them into new holdings.
§ MR. WYNDHAM281 applications have been received. Forty-one have been referred to inspectors to report on. None have as yet been reinstated.
§ MR. KILBRIDEHave any untenanted lands been purchased in county Galway?
§ MR. WYNDHAMI should like to have notice of that Question, if it is desired be press it; but may say have little to add to the statement made on this subject last Friday.†
