§ Mr. FFRENCHasked the Chief Secretary if he can say why the grants promised by the inspector to the Siggins-haggard evicted tenants belonging to the Carew estate to enable them to build houses and make a start on their farms have not yet been made; and, as the tenants can make no progress without 744W grants, will he recommend an immediate payment of them?
§ Mr. CHERRYThe Estates Commissioners will direct one of their inspectors to supervise the expenditure of the grants in these cases as soon as possible.
§ Mr. FFRENCHasked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners have yet taken compulsory possession of the Boxwell property with a view of putting back the evicted tenants in their homes; and if he can hold out any hope of an immediate restoration?
§ Mr. CHERRYProceedings have been instituted by the Estates Commissioners under the Evicted Tenants Act in reference to these lands, but up to the present they have not acquired possession.
