§ MR. McVEIGH (Donegal, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the attention of the Estates Commissioners has been called to the case of Denis Ward, who claimed through John Ward, deceased, who was evicted from his holding on the estate of Lady Alice Hayes, Drumboe, near Stranorlar, county Donegal, on 19th January, 1891; and, if so, whether he will take steps to have an inspector sent down immediately to inquire into the matter.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that they have received the application in question and have referred it to their inspector in county Donegal for inquiry and report. The inspector will doubtless inquire into the matter when he reaches the district in which the holding is situate. It would obviously greatly impede the inspector in making his inquiries into the numerous cases referred to him if he were sent hither and thither to inquire specially into particular cases.
