§ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRELAND (Mr. Redmond Barry)The Land Commission, whom I have consulted, are unable to state the approximate number of tenants in North Tyrone who have not yet purchased their holdings, as the statistics of the Commission are not compiled according to Parliamentary Divisions. I have no information with regard to the matters referred to in the concluding portion of the question.
