§ MR. LUNDONI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can say whether the Estates Commissioners have put themselves in communication with the Messrs. Sanders, of Charleville, county Cork, agents for the Delmege property, around Garry-spillane and Glenbrohane, now being sold to the tenants, with the view of obtaining about 200 acres (Irish) on the estate, supposed to be untenanted, for the benefit of the poorer farmers' sons and the labourers; and will the Estates Commissioners allow the sale to proceed if one man, reputed to have taken 145 acres of this untenanted land since January, 1901, is allowed to retain it to the detriment of the farmers and labourers who have no land.
§ MR. CHERRYThe Estates Commissioners are in communication with the vendor's solicitors in reference to the untenanted land on the Delmege estate. The Commissioners will carefully consider all the circumstances of the estate before sanctioning the advances applied for, but at this stage of the proceedings they cannot say what their decision may be.
