§ Mr. HUGH LAWasked the Chief Secretary whether the Estates Commissioners have received applications for reinstatement from Daniel M'llwain, of Knocknabollan, Mary White, Drumlarga, and other tenants evicted from their holdings in the parish of Termon by the Earl of Leitrim; and what steps are being taken in the matter?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have received application for reinstatements from seven evicted tenants or representatives of evicted tenants in connection with this estate, including Daniel M'Ilwain and Mary White. One application is outside the Land Purchase Acts, the eviction having taken place in 1862, and in two cases the Commissioners, after inquiry, have decided to take no action. The remaining applications will be considered if the estate is dealt with by the Commissioners.
