Burke, Kilcreaventy, county Galway, being a reduction on the old rent of £1 8s. 4d.; whether for 25 years the landlord has given a voluntary reduction of £1 19s. 6d. on the old rent; and whether he will bring this fact to the notice of the Land Commission, with a view to the reconsideration of Mr. Mannion's ease on appeal?
