§ MR. J. P. FARRELL (Longford, N.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any decision has yet been come to by the Estates Commissioners as to the report of the inspector on the Cusack (county Longford) Estate; and can he say how much untenanted land the inspector found on his visit.
(Answered by Mr. Bryce.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that they 1243 hope shortly to make an offer to the Land Judge for the purchase of this estate. There appears to be no untenanted land on the estate, but there are five holdings comprising about 170 acres, which are held by tenants under court lettings. The Commissioners propose to make an offer to purchase these land as untenanted lands.
