§ MR. JAMES O'KELLYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether proposals for the sale of the estate of Mr. Hancock, county Roscommon, have been received by the Estates Commissioners; whether he is aware that the landlord has refused to sell to six tenants living on the town-land of Lackan; and, if so, whether the Commissioners will refuse to sanction a sale unless these tenants are included in it.
§ MR. WALTER LONGThe Estates Commissioners have received no originating application or request in respect of the sale of this estate. They have no knowledge of the circumstance referred to in the Question, and can express no opinion thereon until the facts are fully before them.
