§ MR. J. PHILLIPS (Longford, S.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if the Estates Commissioners have received applications from two evicted tenants, named John Farrell and John Heslin, on the King-Harman estate, Lisnanagh, county Longford, to be restored to their holdings on this townland; and, if so, what is the cause of delay, as the farms were completely derelict during the past year; and when will they be reinstated.
§ MR. CHERRYThe Estates Commissioners have received applications from the evicted tenants mentioned in the Question. The estate is the subject of proceedings in the Chancery Division of the High Court, and the Commissioners have not been able so far to effect the reinstatement of the evicted tenants. The matter will be further considered.
