§ Mr. DELANYasked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners have received a series of resolutions passed at a public meeting held at Bal-laghmore, parish of Kyle, Queen's County, with reference to the distribution of untenanted land about to be acquired in the locality, accompanied with a list of names 211W of small holders in the neighbourhood in want of allotments of the same; and can he say what course the Commissioners propose to adopt with reference to the same?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners are unable from the particulars given in the question to trace the receipt of the Resolutions referred to. When distributing lands they consider the claims of all applicants qualified for parcels of land under the Land Purchase Acts.
