§ MR. CHARLES CRAIGI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether Count Blake, of Cloughballymore, county Galway, has sold his estate to the Commissioners; whether John Bermingham was a tenant and bailiff to Count Blake; whether all Count Blake's tenants on the 103 same estate have been given land to enlarge their holdings except John Bermingham; and why was an exception made in the case of John Bermingham.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have agreed to purchase the estate in question, and have rearranged the holdings upon it. John Bermingham has surrendered about nine and a half acres and received in exchange about ten and a half acres. The Commissioners have no information as to his being bailiff to the owner, but they understand that he occupies three holdings in addition to his holding on this estate.
