§ MR. GINNELL (Westmeath, N.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will ascertain and state why the inspector recently sent to Westmeath to investigate the claims of evicted tenants did not give any notice to or call upon or make any inquiry regarding Edward Fagan, evicted by Colonel Smythe, of Collinstown, though he drove by Fagan's present residence; and is this Fagan to be included in the promised scheme providing for evicted tenants.
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND (Mr. BIRRELL,) Bristol, N.)The Estates Commissioners have received no application from Edward Fagan, and the inspector therefore had no reason for making any inquiry into his case.
