§ MR. DELANYTO ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether the Estates Commissioners have received an application made on behalf of a number of tenants on the estate of Robert Edward Pigott, Capard, Queen's County, situated at Laccan, Rosenallis, Queen's County, asking to be released from agreements to purchase signed on the 2nd May, 1908, upon the grounds that the stipulated conditions of the bargain reserving to the tenants game, turbary, and free mountain grazing rights were not embodied in the agreements, but on the contrary reserved to the landlord, and further that the agreements were not read over to them, and that their names were attached in ignorance of the contents of those documents; can he say whether the original agreements have been lodged with the Estates Commissioners; and what course they propose taking in this matter.
(Answered by Mr. Birrell.) The Estates Commissioners have received the application referred to, and will consider it when they are dealing with the purchase 1334 agreements which have been lodged with them.
