§ Mr. FFRENCHasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what is the present position of the Sweetman Estate, South Wexford; and when is there likely to be a settlement?
§ Mr. DUKEI am informed that the Estates Commissioners intimated in 1913 to the Land Judge in whose Court the Sweetman Estate was the subject of proceedings the sum they were prepared to advance in Three per cent. Guaranteed Stock under the Land Purchase Acts for the property. The Land Judge refused to sell at the estimated price, and in the circumstances the Commissioners have not proceeded further in the matter.
