§ MR. MURPHYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the new regulations issued to the Estates Commissioners are complete; if so, or in any event, are the Commissioners, when interpreting Section 5 of the Land Act, 1903, now to inquire into the equity as between purchaser and vendor to arrive at a decision as to whether the agreed price is equitable.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe regulations do not in any way deal with the construction of Section 5 of the Act. The proper construction of that section was in effect decided by Mr. Justice Meredith in the case of King-Harman, landlord, and Eliza Hayes, tenant, on June 8th last.
