§ MR. LARDNERTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will explain why the Estates Commissioners have informed the solicitor for Patrick M'Clushy, who claimed to be reinstated in a farm in Mulladermott, County Monaghan, on the estate of Colonel Leslie, that they have decided not to take any action in the matter, and that they do not intend to provide Patrick M'Clushy with a farm; and if they will reopen the case and reconsider it.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners inform me that their decision was based on a full consideration of the circumstances of the case, and they regret that they are unable to depart from it.
