§ MR. GINNELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state what is the practice of the Estates Commissioners when a landlord of an estate comprising untenanted and non-residential land lodges with them purchase agreements in respect of the tenanted portions, omitting all reference to the untenanted; and, for example, how do they propose to deal with General Featherstone's estates of this kind in Westmeath, in view of the memorials lodged with them for distribution of the untenanted land by the people of Whitehall and by the Delvin District Council.
MR. BRYCERule 11 of the rules of October 23rd, 1903, prescribes that the map lodged with the originating application or request shall show, in distinctive colours, the boundaries of any other lands 83 in the neighbourhood, demesne or otherwise, which the vendor owns, but does not desire to sell. The Estates Commissioners inform me that no proceedings in respect of the sale of the estate referred to in the Question have yet been instituted before them. The representations of the tenants and of the rural district council will be duly considered if the estate should come before the Commissioners to be dealt, with.
