§ MR. THOMAS F. SMYTH (Leitrim, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to-the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if the Estates Commissioners have received an application for reinstatement from Thomas Scollen, Corlishen, Drumsna, for the farm of land in Corlishen, on the Albemarle estate, in county Leitrim, from which his father was evicted about twenty years ago; and, if so, will an inspector be sent to investigate the case.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estate Commissioners have received the application in question and have had the case investigated. The present occupant of the evicted farm is unwilling to surrender it, and as the Commissioners understand that the evicted tenant received compensation when leaving the holding they have decided to take no action in the matter.
