HC Deb 11 July 1906 vol 160 cc892-3
Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the fact that Mr. Lionel Croasdale, whoso term of office as Assistant Sub-Commissioner recently expired, valued land for a landlord, General Lloyd, in the county of Limerick, and used an official postcard of the Land Commission, notifying the tenant Richard Sheehy, that he was to inspect the holding on a date mentioned and asking him to attend, and thus led him into the belief that he was a Commissioner; and whether he will take stops to see that these official postcards be not used by any ex-Sub-Commissioner in future.

MR. BRYCE

I have referred this Question to the Land Commission, who inform me that they will make enquiries into the matter.

MR. O'SHAUGHNESSY

Did the right lion. Gentleman receive the postcard?

MR. BRYCE

Yes, and I have sent it to the Land Commission for their observations.
