HC Deb 26 March 1907 vol 171 cc1667-8
MR. LUNDON

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will arrange that the Estates Commissioners, now that Lord Dunraven and his tenants around Adare, Croom, and elsewhere have arranged as to terms of sale and purchase, shall also arrange between his Lordship and George Spearing, of Beabus, and Thomas Drew, who are yet unsettled for owing to inundation of land caused by hatcheries on the river Mague put down by the landlord, and eviction in the case of Mr. Drew.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have fully considered the case of George Spearing, and have decided to take the necessary steps to declare Spearing to have purchased his holding at their estimated price. The inspector's report as to the case of Thomas Drew has not yet been received.
