§ MR. JOHN ROCHE (Galway, E.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that a number of tenants in the Mountbellew, county Galway, district have served notices with the object of having fair rent fixed upon their holdings; and will he see that the Sub-Commissioners hold a court there with as little delay as possible.
§ MR. CHERRYThe Land Commission inform me that a Sub-Commission sitting for the Mount Bellew district was held last October when all cases which arose prior to 1st September were listed for hearing. Since then only thirteen applications to fix fair rents have been received from that district. A further sitting will be held at as early a date as may be consistent with the claims of other districts, but the Land Commission cannot at present fix a date.
