§ MR. GINNELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have asked Sir Montague Chapman, Bart., of Killna Castle, Westmeath, to sell his evicted and untenanted lands to them; if so, with what result; and, now that the property belongs to a new owner, will they communicate on this subject with the present agent, Mr. Mason, solicitor, Mullingar.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners communicated with Sir Montague Chapman in July, 1906, upon the subject of his untenanted land, but received no reply. The Commissioners are not aware that the property has since changed hands, but acting on the suggestion in the Question, they have now communicated with the solicitor referred to.
