§ MR. KENDAL O'BRIEN (Tipperary, Mid.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state whether the Estates Commissioners have received an application of Martin Maher, evicted tenant on the estate of Mr. George Langley, for reinstatement in his farm at Lisnamrock and Knockolonga, Mid-Tipperary; is this farm at present let on the eleven months grazing system; have any proposals for purchase been made by the tenants; and, generally, will he state what steps have been or will be taken by the Estates Commissioners to secure the reinstatement of Maher in his old holding.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that they have received an application for reinstatement from Martin Maher. No proceedings for the sale of the estate have yet been instituted, but the case has been referred to an inspector for special report with a view to a settlement.
