§ MR. JAMES O'KELLY (Roscommon, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a number of tenants resident in Chapel Street, Boyle, county Roscommon, Ireland, were evicted some twenty years ago by the late Colonel King-Harman from holdings in the vicinity of the town, and that this land has been converted into a grazing ranche let on the eleven months' system; and whether he can now take steps to secure the reinstatement of these evicted tenants.
882 (Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that they have received applications from six persons resident in Chapel Street, Boyle, claiming reinstatement as tenants who were evicted from the estate referred to. From the particulars furnished, however, the applicants do not appear to have been tenants of holdings to which the Land Law Acts apply, and their cases do not, therefore, come within the provisions of Section 2 (1) (d) of the Act of 1903.
