§ MR. J. P. FARRELL (Longford, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can now state the result of the negotiations by the Estates Commissioners for the purchase of the untenanted lands on the Cusack, county Longford, estate; whether the solicitor in charge, Mr. Daniels, has made any further motion to delay sale; and when a definite decision will be given.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) I am informed that the Estates Commissioners' offer for the purchase of this estate, including both the tenanted and untenanted land, has now been accepted by the Land Judge. The registrar of the court informs me that there are no grounds for the suggestion that the solicitor has endeavoured to delay the sale.
