§ Mr. FFRENCHasked whether Mrs. Mary Murphy, representative of the late Mrs. White, Newtown, Bannow, evicted tenant belonging to Mr. Boyse's Wexford estate, was promised a farm in the county Dublin by the Estates Commissioners; and whether there is any prospect of this woman getting a farm in lieu of her own home on the Boyse estate?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe hon. Member appears to have been misinformed. The Estates Commissioners tell me that Mrs. Murphy was not promised a holding in county Dublin. Her name has been noted by the Commissioners for consideration in connection with the distribution of such untenanted land as they may acquire in the neighbourhood of her former holding.

§ Mr. FFRENCHasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether he is aware that Mrs. Charlotte Elle Lett was evicted from her home on 2nd June, 1909, at Woodville, South Wexford, and that she wants evidence of eviction from the police to place before the Argentine courts in a question of division of property; and whether he will instruct the police at Bridgetown to supply the required evidence?
§ Mr. BIRRELLI understand that Mrs. Lett, who was evicted as stated, has asked the police to make an affidavit in the case for use in connection with civil proceedings. The request is not one which can be complied with, as the police are not concerned in the matter and were not even present at the eviction. Mrs. Lett can no doubt obtain the evidence which she requires from the Sheriff or from the Court by order of which she was evicted.
