Black-hall, of Knocknaveeha, Corofin, county Clare, is still employed by the Estates Commissioners; if so, has his conduct in instituting proceedings in the Superior Courts for the eviction of a man named Patrick O'Halloran from a farm known as Kiltane, in the parish of Carron, been inquired into; and, if not, will he have inquiries made into the matter?
§ Mr. BIRRELLMr. Blackhall is still in the employment of the Estates Commissioners. The farm referred to is not the subject of proceedings for sale before the Commissioners under the Land Purchase Acts, and they have no power to interfere in any legal proceedings with regard to it which Mr. Blackhall may have instituted in the High Court of Justice.
