§ Mr. PATRICK WHITEasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the estate of Newrath, Kells, county Meath, was offered for sale to the Estates Commissioners; if they made an offer for it which was accepted; and whether the purchase fell through because of defective title or insufficient price?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that the lands of Newrath were in the first instance included in the lands which the owners proposed to sell to them. The owners, however, subsequently withdrew these lands from the proceedings. The title was not investigated.
