§ MR. BOLANDI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on the Melville Estate, near Kenmare, where negotiations for sale have been concluded at 21½ years purchase 1413 of first-term rents and at 24½ years purchase of second-term rents, all the tenants owe arrears ranging from two to four years; and whether, in view of the fact that this estate comes within the definition of a congested estate, being nearly all mountain land, and that pressure was exercised by the agent in bringing the negotiations to a conclusion, he can arrange that the estate will be inspected before the actual sale is concluded.
§ MR.WYNDHAMThis estate has not yet come before the Estates Commissioners to be dealt with. Where doubt is entertained as to the propriety of declaring particular lands to be an estate, an inspection is always made.
