§ MR. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether any application for reinstatement as an evicted tenant has been received from Mrs. Anne Smyth, of Derrycassan, Dring, near Granard, who, with her husband and three children, was evicted from the lands of Springtown nearly twenty-seven years ago; and whether, as the estate from which she was evicted is now being sold through the Estates Commissioners, care will be taken that this woman's case will receive consideration, with a view to her reinstatement.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have received the application in question, and have referred it to an inspector for inquiry and report.
