§ MR.

§ MR. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have received the application 486 referred to, and have noted it for consideration when allotting untenanted land. The Commissioners have already acquired 140 acres of untenanted land in County Fermanagh, and are negotiating for the purchase of other lands. They have also initiated proceedings for the compulsory purchase of 338 acres in the county under the Evicted Tenants Act
