§ Sir JOHN LONSDALEasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if his attention has been directed to the Report of the Estates Commissioners with reference to evicted tenants who have been provided with buildings and livestock but have failed to work the lands in a husbandmanlike manner, and have either meadowed them or let them for grazing; and if he will state the conclusions at which the Government have arrived as to instituting legal proceedings against the tenants in question?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe answer to the first paragraph of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the remainder of the question, I would refer the hon. Member to the reply given to the question asked on this subject by the hon. Member for East Limerick on 4th instant, to which I have nothing to add at present.
