§ MR. BOLAND (Kerry, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the village of Beaufort was excluded from the sale of the Mahoney estate at Dunloe, county Kerry, whereby James O'Connor and Elizabeth Carson were debarred from purchasing their holdings; and whether, in view of the fact that they have now received notice to quit, although rent has been paid regularly, he will request the Estates Commissioners, through whom the sale of the estate was negotiated, to use their good offices to effect the sale of the remaining portion of this estate.
§ The CHIEF SECRETARY for IRELAND (Mr. Birrell, Bristol, N.)The village of Beaufort was not included in the estate which was sold by Mr. Mahoney to his tenants. The Estates Commissioners have no knowledge of the service of notices to quit on the occupiers of the village holdings, but they inform mo that in any event the matter does not appear to be one in which they could intervene.
