HC Deb 27 July 1904 vol 138 cc1338-9
MR. J. P. FARRELL (Longford, N.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any application has been received from an evicted tenant named Patrick Magrath, of Abbeyshule, for restoration by purchase to his farm at Tenelich, which is at present held by a planter tenant who lives twenty miles distant; whether he is aware that this man was directed by the receiver to lodge £3 in Court for a Court lease of this farm in 1894, but found instead that the farm was given to another; and will he bring this case to the notice of the Estates Commissioners.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. ATKINSON,) Dover

An application has been received from the evicted tenant and will be duly considered. The Commissioners have no information on the other matters mentioned in the Question.

MR. J. P. FARRELL

When shall I repeat the Question?

MR. WYNDHAM

I am afraid I cannot say when a decision is likely to be arrived at.
