MR. SWIFTMACNEILL (Donegal, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the estate of the late Captain Bloomfield at Castle-caldwell, in the county Fermanagh, which was purchased in the Land Judge's Court in 1881, for the payment of the debts of the owner at that time, T. C. Bloomfield, part of the purchase money having been obtained by a loan on mortgage from a Scotch insurance company, is in the Land Judge's Court; if so, how long has it been in that Court; is it solvent or insolvent; and whether it can be sold under the fortieth Section of the Act of 1896 or under the recent Land Purchase Act.
(Answered by Mr. Wyndham.) The estate is in the Land Judge's Court. The records of the Court do not show whether it is solvent or insolvent. Pimá facie the provisions of Section 40 of the Act of 1896 are applicable to the property, and the case will at once be placed in the Judge's list for his directions.
