CAPTAIN CRAIGI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can state, of the total number of evicted tenants in Ireland who have made claims for reinstatement, how many were dispossessed of their holdings under judgments obtained by merchants and creditors other than landlords, and for causes of action other than rent.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe total number of applicants is 7,156. The Estates Commissioners have no knowledge as to how many of these applicants were dispossessed of their holdings at the instance of persons other than landlords.
