§ MR. MURPHYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if the policy adopted by the Commissioners of Charitable Donations and Bequests in connection with the sale of estates vested in them is to secure a price that will increase the annual income on each estate sold; and, if so, if he can take any steps to prevent a public body by such action giving an inflated value to land in Ireland at the present time.
§ MR. WALTER LONGI am informed by the Commissioners that no negotiations for the sale of estates vested in them have taken place.
