HC Deb 21 July 1904 vol 138 c778
MR. T. W. RUSSELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the proceedings in the Land Judge's Court on the 14th instant, when, in the case of the estate of L. O. Weir, Mr. Justice Ross stated that he would not act upon a request by the Estates Commissioners. under Section 7 of the Land Purchase Act of 1903; and if it is the intention of the Government to authorise the Estates Commissioners to proceed in the Court of Appeal with a view to having the true construction of Section 7 settled and declared.

Mr. WYNDHAM

The Commissioners have not issued a request under the 7th Section in respect of this estate. They are at present consulting counsel as to the construction of that section.
