§ MR. J. P. FARRELLTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland will he state the reason of the delay in the sale of the O'Brien Estate, at Comakelly and Corglass, North 422 Longford; what is the cause of the present standstill in the proceedings, and who is to blame; and when may the tenants expect this sale to go through, in order to obtain relief under The Land Purchase Act, 1903.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that no proceedings for the sale of this estate have been instituted before them. I understand, however, that the estate is in the Land Judge's Court, and I will have inquiries made from the registrar of the Court.
