§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that affirmances of decrees for rent were granted at the recent Cavan Assizes against nine tenants on the Drumlane portion of the Morley Estate; and whether, in view of the fact that part of this estate, viz., Doobally, has been, already sold under an arbitration, and that the arbitrators had publicly explained their inability to deal more expeditiously in the matter, and further that they would proceed with the Drum-lane portion in August coming, he will take steps to secure that these tenants do not suffer through delay in the arbitration due to no fault on the part of these tenants.
§ MR. WYNDHAMThis is not a matter in which I have authority to intervene as suggested. I am informed, however, that the agent has agreed not to proceed with the decrees pending the negotiations for sale.
