§ Mr. O'DOHERTYasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware who inspected on behalf of the Estates Commissioners the farm of Alexander Butler, of Claggan, Moville, county Donegal, on the estate of Mrs. Evans, Moville, on 3rd November last; whether it is customary for the agent and bailiff of property to be sold to accompany the inspector when visiting a farm for the purpose of inspection; and whether, in view of the fact that the inspector was so accompanied on this occasion, he would represent to the Estates Commissioners that a new inspection would be desirable?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that it is the practice of the inspector to notify the owner or his representative and the tenants of his intended inspection, so that they may attend on the lands at the time of inspection. The reply to the concluding paragraph of the question is in the negative.
