§ MR. O'DOWD (Sligo, S.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have received from Mrs. Catherine Heally, of Ballymurray, Ballinacarrow, Ballymote, county Sligo, an application for reinstatement in the holding on the Percival estate from which her late husband was evicted in 1882; whether her case has been investigated by an inspector from the Estates Commissioners' office, and, if so, what steps, if any, are being taken in the matter.
(Answered by Mr. Cherry.) The Estates Commissioners have received and investigated the application in question, and have decided to take no action in the matter. The applicant is already in 899 possession of about twenty-five acres of the farm from which her husband was evicted, and the remainder is in occupation of another tenant.
