HC Deb 04 March 1909 vol 1 cc1717-8W
Dr. AMBROSE

asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether, in view of the fact that sales to the extent of £25,190,839 have taken place in the Landed Estates Court from October, 1849, to August, 1859, without waiting for the title of the estate to be proved, he will, in the interests of tenants of uneconomic holdings and the public generally, see that the sale of estates at present in the Landed Estates Court is expedited in a similar manner?

Mr. BIRRELL:

The procedure for the sale of estate in the Land Judge's Court is not a matter over which I have any control, but I am informed that there is no statutory power to expedite sales in the manner suggested in the question.
