§ Dr. AMBROSEasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that the Estates Commissioners have made application for?and for the purposes of the restoration of evicted tenants both on the O'Donel estate, at Newport, county Mayo, and on the estate of Mr. Fitzgerald, of Turlough, Castlebar, county Mayo, and that in both cases the landlords lodged an objection; and could he say what are the grounds of objection in each case?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners gazetted certain lands on the estates referred to with a view to their acquisition under the Evicted Tenants Act. In the first case the owner has objected to the price offered by the Commissioners, and has filed a petition which is pending for hearing. In the second case the owner has objected on the grounds that the lands are tenanted, and have not been selected with due regard to the other property of the owner.
