HC Deb 29 July 1908 vol 193 cc1503-4
MR. LUNDON

I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that the late Morgan Hayes, of Carriganaltin. Ballyneety, County Limerick, was evicted within the past twenty years off two farms on the estate of Courtney Croker, one farm at the above address, the other on the Ballinagarde side of the road; is he aware that a stepson of Hayes, named Peacocke, whose father originally owned one farm, is living in America, and a daughter, named Mrs. Hammersly, lives in the parish of Grean, some ten miles distant; and have those persons applied to the Estates Commissioners for those evicted farms, and, now that the Croker estate is being sold off to the tenants, will the daughter and stepson of Hayes be restored, one to each farm.

MR. BIRRELL

The Estates Commissioners have received from Mr. Peacocke and Mrs. Hammersly applications for evicted holdings on the estate in question, and have referred the case to their inspector in connection with the proposed division of the untenanted lands on the estate. The applications will be fully considered by the Commissioners when they are dealing with the inspector's report.
