§ MR. FFRENCH (Wexford, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that application has been made to the Estates Commissioners to restore Mrs. Colfer, of Langnageer, to her holding on the Leigh estate from which she was evicted; and whether this case comes under the evicted tenants clauses of the Land Act of 1903; and, if so, can he state why the Estates Commissioners have taken no steps to restore Mrs. Colfer to her home.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Estates Commissioners have received from Mary and Patrick Colfer an application for reinstatement, and will have the case duly inquired into. The Commissioners are unable to say, until they receive their inspector's report, whether the case is one which comes within the terms of Section 2 of the Act of 1903.
