§ MR. PATRICK WHITEI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland why the former holding of Francis Hopkins, on the estate of Colonel Lyster Smythe, cannot be acquired compulsorily, it being still untenanted land in the occupation of the landlord.
§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that Hopkins was evicted since the passing of the Act of 1903, and his case docs not therefore come within the provisions of the Evicted Tenants Act, 1907.
