§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he can say whether Robert Sanders, of Charleville, in the county of Cork, has yet signified his willingness to give up the farm at Garryfine, Bruree, in the County of Limerick, from which the Dunworth family was evicted; whether he is aware that Sanders had no interest whatever in this farm before he became occupier of it; and whether, in the interest of the peace of the locality, the Estates Commissioners will endeavour to have the Dunworths reinstated.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have placed this case in the hands of their inspector with the object of providing holdings for the evicted tenants if possible. The Commissioners are not aware that their inspector has received any communication from Mr. Sanders, but they have referred the hon. Member's Question to the inspector in order that he may be placed in possession of the alleged facts.
§ MR. O'SHAUGHNESSYIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that this evicted tenant has stated he will accept no other than his old farm, and will he use his influence with the planter to give up the farm?
§ MR. BIRRELLI have no influence to use.
