§ MR. T. SMYTH (Leitrim, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state who divided the bogs on the estate of the Due de Stackpool at Cloontabrit, in the county of Leitrim, which has been sold to 50 the tenants recently; if he is aware that some of the tenants, including Mrs. Mary Donnelly, James Cassells, Patrick Reynolds, and William Cox, were allotted portions of the bog which are worthless; and if he can state for what reason those particular tenants got such lots, while other tenants got the best portions of the bog.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that no proceedings for the purchase of the estate in question have been instituted before them, and they have no knowledge of the matters referred to.
