§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he has received a copy of a resolution unanimously adopted at a meeting of the Ballylongford branch of the United Irish League, at which over forty members were present, expressing their regret that Mrs. Kate Scanlan, of Tullahinnell, had been sent to gaol for retaking possession of her evicted farm on which she lived for over thirty years, and 57 stating that the case is one which calls for the strongest condemnation; and whether in view of this fact and in the interest of the peace of the locality, he will at once take steps and ask the Estates Commissioners to bring about her reinstatement.
§ MR. BIRRELLI have received the resolution in question. The Estates Commissioners are considering whether they can take any further steps towards securing the reinstatement of the evicted tenant.
