§ MR. J. P. FARRELLTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to the case of Mary Moran, an evicted tenant on the Jessop (Doory) Estate, whose farm is now in possession of a man named George Burnett, who holds it pending sanction of the purchase to him on the eleven months system; and whether, before this sale to Burnett is sanctioned, an inquiry will be made 1269 with a view to the restoration of the evicted tenant.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) In April, 1904, the Estates Commissioners received Mrs. Moran's application for re-instatement, in which she stated that she was evicted in 1868. Her ease, therefore, does not come within the provisions of Section 2 of the Act of 1903, and she was so informed. The sale of the Jessop Estate was completed in May, 1905, but the Commissioners have no record that Mrs. Moran's former holding was sold.
