§ MR. SHEEHANTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have received a claim for reinstatement from an evicted tenant named John Ambrose, of New Grove, Whitechurch, county Cork; has this application been yet investigated, and, if so, will he state whether it is proposed to reinstate Ambrose in his old holding under the terms of the Evicted Tenants Bill now before Parliament, or in the alternative to provide him with a farm of equivalent value.
§ (Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners have received from John Ambrose an application for reinstatement, and after full inquiries have decided that they can take no action in the case.
