Mr. FETHERSTONAUGHasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if, in the allotment of the Connell Cannon estate, Leggs, county Fermanagh, Rose O'Neill and Francis O'Neill were promised allotments; has the property been divided; and, if so, why were not allotments given to the parties named; were any, and, if so, how many, evicted tenants provided with holdings on these lands; and what are the names of such evicted tenants?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that they propose to sell the lands in question to persons coming within Section 2 of the Evicted Tenants Act, save as regards two small plots containing respectively two acres 36 perches and one acre six perches, which are being sold as enlargements to the occupiers of shall holdings adjoining the estate. The Commissioners did not promise to give any of the lands to either Francis or Rose O'Neill, and at this stage of the proceedings they do not consider it desirable to state the names of those to whom it is proposed to give allotments.
