§ MR. VINCENT KENNEDY (Cavan, W.)I beg to ask the Chief Secretary to 102 the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland if he will state whether the holdings of six tenants on the estate of George Stewart Smith, in the townlands of Lathnadronagh, Corlaturin, and Drumeagle, county Cavan, who refused to purchase on the landlord's terms, have yet been inspected; and, if so, when; has the report of the inspector justified their refusal to purchase on the terms offered; and will he say what recommendations are contained in the inspector's report.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have received their inspector's report on this estate, including a report on the holding for which purchase agreements have not been lodged, and they are now in communication with the vendor with a view to having agreements for the sale of these holdings brought in. The Commissioners do not publish details of their inspectors' reports in such cases.
