§ MR. KILBRIDEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware of the dissatisfaction expressed by representative bodies in county Clare at the reductions of five per cent. in West Clare and ten per cent. in East Clare given by the Sub-Commission at the last hearing of fair rent applications; will he state what previous knowledge or experience had this gentleman who inspected these lands of Clare farming or the nature of Clare land and the climatic conditions of that county; and whether, in view of these expressions of want of confidence in the Lay Sub-Commissioner, he will represent to the Land Commission the advisability of transferring the services of this gentleman to a part of the country with which he has had some previous acquaintance.
§ MR. ATKINSONThis Question has been referred to the Judicial Commissioners, who are at present in the country hearing appeals. Perhaps the hon. Member will repeat the Question on Monday.
