HC Deb 09 May 1904 vol 134 cc766-7
MR. O'DOWD

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Weir Estate, situate near Riverstown, in the county of Sligo, is still under the jurisdiction of the Land Judge's Court; and, if so, will he explain why and under what circumstances the Knocalassa grazing farm, forming a portion of that estate, was sold to an outsider over the heads of the other tenants whose small farms could with advantage be enlarged by the breaking up of this ranche.

MR. WYNDHAM

The estate is no longer under the administration or control of the Land Judge. The farm in question was sold before the passing of the Act of 1903.
