HC Deb 25 November 1909 vol 13 c456W
Mr. FFRENCH

asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland if he can explain why the Boxwell tenants have not been restored to their homes?

Mr. BIRRELL

Proceedings have been instituted by the Estates Commissioners under the Evicted Tenants Act for the acquisition of the lands, and they have made an offer for them, but the owner has filed a petition under Section 2 (5) of the Act, which has not yet been determined.
