§ MR. JOHN ROCHE (Galway, E.)To ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he car-state the average amount of reductions in rent obtained by the Clanricarde tenants within the past fifteen years as a result of their application to the Land Commission to have fair rents fixed.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Land Commission inform me that all applications to fix fair rents are heard in open court, and the decisions, besides being notified to each of the parties interested, are posted up at the local courthouses at which the cases are heard. In these circumstances the Commissioners do not think it desirable that they should give particulars of the results of judicial 1535 decisions under the Land Law Acts in the case of particular estates.
