§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)To ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he is aware that the Board of Public Works in Ireland is pressing for a drainage charge alleged to be due on the holding of a Mr. Lawrence Hughes, of Derrycassan, Ballyconnell, county Cavan; and whether, in view of the fact that this farm is practically undrained, the Board will send an inspector to make a report before further proceeding in this matter.
§ (Answered by Mr. Victor Cavendish.) I have inquired into the circumstances of this case, and they do not appear to me to justify the suspension of the legal proceedings which have been instituted.
