HC Deb 22 June 1904 vol 136 c830
MR. J. P. FARRELL

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieu-tenant of Ireland whether he is aware that when signing his purchase agreement for the sale of his farm on the Granard Estate in 1893, James J. Scanlan, of Soran, had first inserted in the agreement a clause promising, on the part of the vendor, to give him his usual turbary on the Drummed Bog; and that, although Scanlan has every year since applied to the Granard Estate bog bailiff for the fulfilment of this promise, no turbary has yet been given him; and, if so, will he direct the attention of the Land Commission to this case.

MR. ATKINSON

I am informed by the Land Commissioners that the holding in question was vested in Scanlan in the terms of the purchase agreement signed by him, and that the agreement contains no reference to turbary.

MR J. P. FARRELL

Is the original: agreement in the possession of the Commissioners?

MR. ATKINSON

Of course the original agreement signed by the parties is.
