§ MR. J. P. FARRELLTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that, owing to the action of the receiver on the 1349 Cusack (county Longford) Estate, motions are being made to delay the sale of this estate to the Commissioners; and whether he can now state if action will be taken to acquire this estate for the benefit of county Longford evicted tenants.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The registrar of the Land Judge's Court informs me that the offer of the Estates Commissioners for the purchase of the Cusack Estate was brought before the Land Judge for consideration on the 11th instant. The case now stands adjourned for a fortnight in order to enable the solicitor having carriage of the sale to communicate with the Commissioners on the subject of certain conditions contained in their offer. The receiver repudiates the suggestion that he has taken any action calculated to delay the sale of the estate.
