§ MR. DELANY (Queen's County, Ossory)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that on the estate of Anne Davey, situate in the parish of Clonsast, barony of Coolestown. King's County, there is an evicted tenant named William Kennedy, who applied to the Estates Commissioners for reinstatement; that the farm from which he was evicted is untenanted and let by the eleven months; and, in view of the fact that the estate is about to be sold to the tenants, can he say what provision is being made for Kennedy.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The present occupier of the holding from which Kennedy was evicted has purchased it under the Land Purchase Acts, and the Estates Commissioners cannot therefore effect Kennedy's restoration to that 517 holding. The Commissioners have, how ever, placed his name on the list of persons suitable to receive allotments of land if such can be acquired.
