§ Mr. J. P. FARRELLI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state when the Estates Commissioners expect to be able to take action in the case of the widow Alice O'Connor, of Kilbride, Granard, who was evicted recently by a middle landlord named O'Reilly, of Drumminbawn, Carrigallen, county Leitrim; and whether, pending some settlement, it is possible to make this woman a grant to enable her to sow some crops for her future support.
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners are unable to trace any application from Mrs. Alice O'Connor for reinstatement as an evicted tenant. The Commissioners have no power to make any expenditure from the Reserve Fund 890 unless in connection with an estate which is being sold.
