§ Mr. HUGH LAWasked the Chief Secretary whether the Land Commission has received an application asking that a sitting of the Sub-Commission may be fixed for an early day in Falcarragh, for the purpose of hearing applications for fixing fair rents under the Act of 1909, which have been served by future tenants upon the estate of Sir John Olphert; and whether, with a view to accelerating the ultimate sale of the estate, the Land Commission can arrange for a sitting in Falcarragh before the end of the month?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Land Commission inform me that on 21st March last, nine applications from the Falcarragh district to have fair rents fixed were listed for hearing, notice being sent to all parties concerned. These cases will be taken up to-morrow by the Sub-Commission Court. Thirty further applications have since been received from the same district, and it is proposed to hold a court at the end of this month, or early in May, to dispose of them.
