§ MR. J. P. FARRELLTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether before sanctioning the sale to Pat Mulligan of a farm on the Due de Stacpool's estate at Sonnagh, county Longford, the Estates Commissioners will direct an inquiry into the circumstances under which two half-witted girls named Lennon, whose father owned this farm and who lost it for want of proper sense to manage the same, are now living, with a view to their receiving some small compensation for the interest they lost, not through their own fault but through their sad mental misfortunes.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners have received no application from the persons mentioned, but will inquire into their case when the estate in question is being dealt with.
