§ MR. THOMAS F. SMYTHI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if the Estates Commissioners will have Francis McNally, an evicted tenant, reinstated in his farm at Cattan, on the White estate, in county Leitrim, as negotiations are going on at present for the sale of this estate; and, in the event of his not being permitted to sign the purchase agreement, if he will get compensation, so that he might be able to procure a farm elsewhere.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have considered McNally's application, but have not been able to arrange for his reinstatement. The farm from which he was evicted is held by another tenant. McNally's name has been noted as that of a person suitable to work land, and his claim will be considered by the Commissioners in the event of their having land to dispose of in the district.
