§ MR. HAMMOND (Carlow)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if William Agar, formerly of Coolnakisha, Old Leighlin, Carlow, has any prospect of being restored to his former holding on Sir Thomas Butler's property.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that they will have William Agar's application for reinstatement inquired into as soon as possible. The Commissioners understand, however, that Agar's former holding is in the occupation of another tenant. Proceedings for the sale of Sir T. Butler's estate have not yet come before the Commissioners.
