§ MR. PATRICK WHITETo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether, having regard to the lengthened period that the application of Francis Hopkins, Nobber, county Meath, for reinstatement in his former holding has been before the Estates Commissioners and that the 1014 farm from which he was evicted is still on the hands of the landlord, Colonel Lyster Smythe, they will consider his case at the earliest possible moment.
(Answered by Mr. Cherry.) The Estates Commissioners have nothing to add to the reply which was given on the 18th instant to the hon. Member's Question on this subject.
