§ MR. J. P. FARRELLTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any representations have been recently made to the Estates Commissioners as to the sale of the King-Harman estate in the parish of Ballinamuck, North Longford; and whether, as this estate is in the main a congested estate with some 100 poor tenants living on it, the Commissioners will enter into negotiations with the landlord's solicitor, with a view to carrying through, on fair terms to the tenants, a sale of this property with the least possible delay.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Estates Commissioners are unable to identify any 847 proceedings for the sale of the estate referred to. They will be prepared to consider any application in the matter which may be made to them.
