HC Deb 03 August 1910 vol 19 c2745W
Mr. REDDY

asked whether any steps have been taken by the Estates Commissioners to acquire the lands of Miss Bennett on the Malone estate at Cadamstown, King's County; did Miss Bennett offer this land to the Commissioners; and, in view of the necessity which exists, will steps be taken to have this land taken up and thus prevent any wealthy individual from coming between the people and their claims?

Mr. BIRRELL

The hon. Member presumably refers to the lands held by the Misses Benwell under a fee farm grant on the L'Estrange Malone estate. The Estates Commissioners inform me that in this case the advance has been made, and the holding vested in the purchasers.
