§ Mr. EDWARD BARRY (Cork County, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether a settlement has been arrived at for the reinstatement of Patrick M'Carthy in his farm on the Carbery estate, at present in the occupation of Arthur Deane, J.P.; how many evicted farms are occupied by Arthur Deane or his father, B. B. Deane; has the inspector visited those farms; and, if so, with what result.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that a settlement of the case referred to in the Question has not yet been arrived at. The Commissioners 362 have had the case of Patrick M'Carthy and the holding formerly occupied by him reported on by one of their inspectors. This report will shortly come before them for consideration. The Commissioners have no information as to how many evicted farms are at present occupied by Mr. Arthur Deane or his father.
