§ MR. EDWARD BARRYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners received particulars of his case, with a view to reinstatement, from an evicted tenant named John Horgan, Cahir, Ballineen; whether the estate of Mr. Richard T. Beamish, from which Horgan was evicted, is being sold to the tenants; and whether, seeing that a man named Timothy Crowley is in occupation of Horgan's farm, steps will be taken by the Estates Commissioners to refuse to sanction the sale of the estate unless the evicted tenant shall be included as purchaser in place of Crowley?
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that an application for reinstatement has been lodged by John Horgan; and they have also received an application from Jeremiah Horgan for the same holding. In both applications the holding is stated to be in the occupation of Timothy Crowley. Proceedings for the sale of the estate referred to have not yet been instituted. The Commissioners intend to make inquiries into the cases of all evicted tenants who have applied for reinstatement, and they will consider the 1487 question of this particular holding as soon as the estate comes before them.
