§ MR. MURPHYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a small number of tenants on the Herbert Estate were prevented from purchasing when the estate was sold a few years ago, and that the present holder of this portion 762 of the estate has recently forced these tenants to pay the hanging gale's rent; and whether, having regard to this treatment and other circumstances, he will insert provisions in the amending Land Bill enabling such tenants to purchase their holdings.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI understand that when the estate was sold a portion, comprising a small number of tenancies, was reserved from sale by the landlord. Unless the latter agrees to a sale he cannot be coerced into selling.
