MR. FERENCH (Wexford, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can say if the Jacob tenants, South Wexford, and their landlord have agreed regarding the purchase of the estate by the tenants; and if the agent, Mr. G. L. Taylor, Fethard, has refused to entertain the claim of Mrs. Marshall, evicted tenant, to purchase her farm.
§ MR. BIRRELLNo proceedings for the sale of this estate have been instituted before the Estates Commissioners, and they have no knowledge of any negotiations for sale. No application for reinstatement has been received from Mrs. Marshall.
