§ MR. HOGAN (Tipperary, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can say if the Estates Commissioners have received an application from Thomas Malony to be reinstated in his farm at Castlewaller, Newport, county Tipperary, at present held by a planter named Dwyer, on the eleven months system, from which Thomas Malony was evicted a few years ago; is ho aware that about thirteen other tenants purchased their farms some time previous to the eviction of Thomas Malony; and will he say whether he will recommend the Estates Commissioners to open negotiations with the landlord with a view to the restoration of his farm to Thomas Malony.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that they received the application referred to on the 10th instant, and will have it inquired into by one of their inspectors in due course.
