§ MR. DELANYTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether a request for reinstatement has been received by the Estates Commissioners from James Behan, 1, Canal View, Dolphin's Barn, Dublin, who claims a farm situated at Bally-brittas, Queen's County, on the estate of Mrs. Cornelia Adair, from which he was evicted in 1898; and whether he can say if the estate in question is before the Commissioners for sale; and, if so, what steps have been taken for the reinstatement of James Behan.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Answer to the first two inquiries is in the affirmative. Behan's application will be considered by the Estates Commissioners when they are dealing with the estate.
