§ MR. DELANYTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland what steps the Estates Commissioners have taken in the case of the representatives of the late Bernard Dumphy, evicted in July, 1882, from a holding at Rosnaclonin, Camross, Mountrath, Queen's County, estate of Mrs. Cornealius; is he aware that the evicted farm is now, and has been ever since the eviction, on the landlord's hands; and can he say why the compulsory provisions of the Evicted Tenants' Act have not been put into operation in this case.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners have decided not to take any action on the application for reinstatement lodged by Dumphy as the representative of a former sub-tenent of the holding in question.
