§ MR. MCVEIGH (Donegal, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the attention of the Estates Commissioners has been called to the matter of Thomas Kieve, who was evicted from his holding on the Mansfield Estate, Killygordan, East Donegal, because he declined to pay an increase of rent; and, seeing that a portion of the estate is sold and in the hands of the Estate Commissioners, whether he will request them to reinstate Kieve in his holding, as it is still lying derelict.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that the lands in question are not in their hands. They have, however, approached the owner with reference to the case of Thomas Kieve, and have referred Kieve's application to one of their inspectors for inquiry, with a view to effecting a settlement.
