§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether 612 he is aware that Owen M"Cabe, of Latnadronagh Crosserlough, county Cavan, has been served with a claim for £25 by George Stewart Smith, his landlord, for using a quarry on his own farm, as he had been doing for past forty years; that this tenant previously refused the terms of purchase offered by the landlord; and, if so, whether he will introduce legislation to protect the tenants in such cases.
§ MR. WYNDHAMI have no information on the first part of the Question. The respective rights of landowners and tenants in respect of quarrying are already defined by law, and it is not proposed to introduce further legislation.
