§ MR. WILLIAM ABRAHAM (Cork County, N. E.)To ask Mr. Attorney-General for Ireland whether he can state what part, if any, of the Kingston Estate is excluded from the five sections into which the vendor has applied to the Estates Commissioners to have the estate divided; and if he will give the names of the townlands comprising each section respectively, and the number of tenants 908 in each such proposed separate estate who have signed the purchase agreements; lodged with the Estates Commissioners.
(Answered by Mr. Atkinson.) The Commissioners have declared all the lands comprised in certain specified townlands to be four separate estates. There are nearly 200 of these townlands, and I do not consider that any useful purpose would be served by enumerating them. The agreements to purchase have not yet been checked, and until this has been done the number of tenants included in each separate estate cannot be given. It is understood that the vendor proposes to include the remainder of the property in a fifth originating application.
