§ MR. THOMAS O'DONNELL (Kerry, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he has received from the Kerry County Council a resolution protesting against the unfairness and partiality of many of the present body of Land Commissioners, and asking that competent and impartial men be appointed; and, if so, will he say what steps he proposes to take in the matter.
MR. BRYCEI have received the resolution referred to, but there is no evidence before me to show that, alleged, many of the present body are open to the charge of unfairness and partiality. When appointments come to be made or renewed, the fitness of al candidates will be carefully considered.
