§ Mr. DELANYTo ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have received an application for reinstatement from Richard Talbot, representative of Mrs. Meredith, who was evicted from a farm at Killart, Clonaslee, estate of the Misses Dunne, Brittas, Clonaslee, Queen's County; and, seeing that the evicted farm is in the possession of Mr. C. H. P. Dunne, uncle of the owners, and that there is other untenanted land on the estate known as Capparogan, which Mr. Talbot has offered to take in lieu of the evicted farm, can he say what is the cause of the delay in the settlement of this case.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners have received an application for reinstatement from Richard Talbot, and it will be considered in the allotment of such untenanted land as they may be able to acquire.
