§ MR. SHEEHY (Meath, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the reply to the request of the Estates Commissioners for particulars of the Westropp Estate, county Clare, by the Judge of the Land Court, was a recital of the steps taken by the Court regarding this estate under the 40th section of the Act of 1896; whether the Commissioners did receive the particulars for which a request was made; and, if so, what steps do the Commissioners propose taking with the view of purchasing the estate.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThe particulars have not been received, and the Commissioners are now considering what further steps, if any, they are empowered to take.
