§ Mr. WILLIAM ABRAHAMasked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland whether the application of Mr. James Donaldson for reinstatement in his former holding on the estate of Mrs. Caroline Bourke, Rilworth, county Cork, has yet been considered by the Estates Commissioners; if the case has been inquired into and reported upon by one of their inspectors; and when do the Commissioners anticipate being able to effect the reinstatement of the evicted tenant?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that Donaldson's application has been inquired into. His former holding is in the possession of another tenant, and the Commissioners are not satisfied that his is a case which should be considered in the allotment of untenated land. Further inquries will, however, he made when an inspector is next in the district.
