§ MR. NOLAN (Louth, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether his attention has been called to a resolution passed by the Louth County Council, on the 5th instant, protesting against a scheme on the part of the Estates 2148 Commissioners to place several planters from other parts of Ireland upon certain untenanted lands recently purchased from Lord Rathdonnell at Willistown and Mullinscross, in the County of Louth, and whether, in view of the reasons-urged against any such scheme by the mover and seconder of the Resolution he can see his way to inviting the Estates-Commissioners to reconsider their decision.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe resolution has been received by the Estates Commissioners, and will be considered by them when making arrangements for the allotment of the lands in question.
