§ MR. DELANY (Queen's County, Ossory)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can say upon what date the Warburton Garryhinch Estate, Queen's County, was placed in the Land Judge's Court; and whether he can say, as the tenants are anxious to avail themselves of the provisions of The Land Purchase Act, 1903, what course they should adopt under the present circumstances.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The petition for sale in the case of this estate was presented to the Land Judge in 1885. The order made by the judge was for the sale of the life interest only of the owner. In such case it is, I am informed, impossible to convey the fee simple to purchasing tenants.
