§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners' inspector visited county Cavan recently; and, if so, how many owners of the fifty-two evicted farms now on the landlords' hands were visited; did any of these landlords refuse to see the inspector; did any of these 754 landlords refuse to allow the evicted tenant back; and, if so, how many.
MR. BRYCEThe Estates Commissioners inform me that one of their inspectors is at present making inquiries into the cases of evicted tenants in county Cavan. Until these inquiries have been completed the Commisssioners are not in a position to give the details asked for in the Question, and, moreover, they do not think it desirable that they should furnish at irregular intervals piecemeal reports as to the progress of the work in different localities.
