§ MR. EDWARD BARRY (Cork County, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether Patrick M'Carthy, an evicted tenant on the Carbery estate, has yet been reinstated in his holding, and, if not, what is the cause of the delay; and will steps be taken to place him in immediate possession of his farm.
§ (Answered by Mr. Birrell.) So far as the Estates Commissioners are aware, M'Carthy has not yet been reinstated. On the 6th instant the Commissioners received a communication from the owner's solicitors accepting the price offered for the evicted farm, and stating that the present occupier would surrender on receiving the compensation offered to him. The matter is receiving the Commissioners' attention.
