§ MR. LUNDONI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he is aware that there is, among what were commonly called the Campaigned estates, one in the parish of Murroe, county Limerick, the Cloncurry estate, the tenants on which were allowed back on such disastrous terms that they have been crushed almost out of existence by exorbitant rents; and can he hold forth any hope to them, either by the likelihood of legislation dealing with such cases in the immediate future or by recommending the Estates Commissioners to open transactions with Lord Cloncurry for the sale of the estate to those overburdened tenants.
§ MR. BIRRELLNo proceedings for the sale of the estate in question have been instituted before the Estates Commissioners, and the Commissioners have no information as to the terms upon which the evicted tenants were reinstated, apparently some years ago. The Commissioners are prepared to consider any application which may be made to them either by the owner or the tenants.
