§ MR. GILHOOLY (Cork County, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have received any communication relative to the sale of the Hutchins estate, situate near Allihies, Castletown, Berehaven, county Cork; and, if so, whether they have been informed that there are evicted tenants on it; and, seeing a. so that there is a large tract of grazing land in the possession of the landlord, will the Estates Commissioners see that the evicted tenants are restored to their holdings, or to a portion of this grazing land, the remaining portion to be used for the purpose of enlarging small adjacent holdings.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that no originating application or request in respect of the sale of this estate has yet been lodged with them. Applications from five persons claiming reinstatement as evicted tenants upon the estate have been referred to an inspector for inquiry and report.
