§ Mr. O'SHAUGHNESSYasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if he can say whether the Estates Commissioners have taken any steps to purchase the un-tenanted lands of Corkamore, Clarina, in the county of Limerick, on the Glissane estate, which are at present the subject matter of an administration suit in the High Court of Justice (Ireland), Chancery Division, Master of the Rolls Record, No. 1903, 564; and, if not, whether, as the land will be sold with the view to distributing the proceeds of sale amongst the next-of-kin of Sarah Glissane, deceased, the Commissioners will purchase them for the evicted tenants and labourers in the vicinity?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have not taken any steps for the purchase of these lands. They are the subject of Chancery proceedings in the Court of the Master of the Rolls, and up to the present no proceedings have been instituted before the Estates Commissioners with a view to their sale under the Land Purchase Acts.
