HC Deb 13 July 1905 vol 149 cc563-4
MR. KILBRIDE (Kildare, S.)

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can say how many estates are now in the Land Judge's Court, showing the county and parish in which each estate is situated and the name of the solicitor having carriage of sale.

THE CHIEF SECRETARY POK IRELAND (Mr. WALTER LONG,) Bristol, S.

The Land Judge is unable to detach his staff from the proper duties of his Court for the preparation of this Return, the advantages to be derived from which would be quite disproportionate to the labour and loss of time involved in its preparation. Parliamentary Paper No. 182 of 1904 gives, by counties, the names and other particulars of estates then in the Land Judge's Court.

MR. T. W. RUSSELL

Will the right hon. Gentleman give a continuation of that Return?

MR. WALTER LONG

I have no objection, but I should first like to consult the Land Judge.
