§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state what is the cause of delay in putting through the sale of the J. H. Ingham Estate, county Cavan; is he aware that in August 1904 an agreenent was perfected to reinstate Patrick M'Connell, the evicted tenant; and whether, in view of the fact that a friend of the evicted tenant has paid to vendor's solicitor the difference between the sum applied for, £475, and the amount the Commissioners agreed to 367 advance, £435, he will see that there is no unnecessary delay in the matter.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that the advances in respect of the sale of this estate were sanctioned on 26th January last. The intervening time has been taken up with legal matters in connection with the title, and as soon as these are settled the advances will be made. The facts as to the case of Patrick Connell are as stated in the Question. I feel sure that there will be no needless delay on the Commissioners' part.
