§ Mr. HAZLETONasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that on the estate of the late Sir T. Burke, Lehid and Kilcreaventy, county Galway, a grazier named John Ryan, who has several hundred acres elsewhere, has recently had a judicial rent fixed upon 113 acres of grazing land; whether an appeal against this has been lodged; whether the Estates Commissioners are aware that there are 75 tenants with an average of less than five acres each on this property; and whether they will take steps to see that a judicial rent is not confirmed in the case of John Ryan, so that the 113 acres of land in question can be divided amongst the uneconomic holders?
