HC Deb 30 July 1907 vol 179 cc781-2
MR. DELANY

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Sub-Com- missioners Tuckey and Hawkins, in fixing a second term rent recently on the holding of Mrs. Mary Connor, Bogtown, Cloneygowan, King's County, raised the first term rent of £21 10s., settled in 1890, to £25 4s., also depriving the tenant of turbary rights; and, considering that the old rent of the farm prior to 1890 was only £24, can he say what course he proposes to take with reference to those Sub-Commissioners.

MR. BIRRELL

The Land Commission inform me that the facts are as stated in the Question, save that the first term judical rent was fixed on the basis that the tenant had no right of turbary. If either party is aggrieved by the order of the Sub-Commission fixing the judicial rent for a second term, he has a statutory right to have the case reheard in the prescribed manner.
