§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if the Estates Commissioners have received an application for reinstatement from Mathias Brady, Corraho, Stradone, county Cavan, whose father was evicted in 1882 for non-payment of rent by Charles B. Marley out of his holding in Gortnakillue; will he say whether this farm is on the landlord's hands, and, if not, whether anyone resides upon it; and whether the applicant, who has returned from Scotland to get possession of his old homo, will he reinstated at an early date.
§ (Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners have investigated the application in Question, and have decided to take no action upon it. The holding has been divided, and is now occupied by two tenants who are unwilling to surrender, and, moreover, the applicant is stated to have been working in a steel factory in Scotland for the past eight years.
