§ Mr. J. P. FARRELLasked the Chief Secretary whether he was aware that 49 tenants on the Douglas estate, at Bawn Kilnashee, Cloonmacart, and Cloonaugh, had signed a protest and forwarded the same to the Estates Commissioners against the completion of the sale of the estate until an inquiry was made into the 2283 allotment of the bog by the landlord; in what order of priority this sale stood, and would the Estates Commissioners direct an inspection of the estate before passing this sale?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe purchase agreements in the case of this estate were not lodged until 26th October, 1906, and it cannot, therefore, be dealt with by the Estates Commissioners for a considerable time. When it is reached in its turn an inspector will in the ordinary course visit the estate.
