§ MR. NOLAN (Louth, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether notices for the sale of the estate of Mr. John Singleton, at Mell, Drogheda, have been filed for the past two years; and, if so, whether he can say when the necessary steps for completing the same will be taken; and whether, in effecting the sale, care will be taken to give the sub-tenants on the estate the full benefit of Section 15 of the Land Act.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell) The Estates Commissioners inform me that their surveyor is at present engaged on the estate referred to, and it will shortly be visited by an inspector. When all the facts are before the Commissioners they will consider the case of the subtenants in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of the Act of 1903.
