§ MR. DELANY (Queen's County, Ossory)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether a memorial has been received by the Estates Commissioners sent on behalf of small holders residing at Aughabol. Queen's County, requesting the purchase for the purpose of redistribution; of the estate of the late Jeremiah Dunne, at present for sale in the Land Judges' Court; and whether, as this estate is all untenanted land, he can say what steps are being taken in the matter.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners have received the memorial referred to, and have made an offer to the Land Judge for the purchase of the unsold lots of the estate in question. I am informed that the Commissioners' offer, with other offers which have been received will shortly come before the Land Judge for consideration.
§ MR. DELANYThe sale takes place next Monday.
