§ Mr. LUNDONasked whether the Estates Commissioners received an application for portion of the untenanted lands at Carrigeen, Croon, county Limerick, from Michael Dwyer, of Carrigeen; whether Dwyer satisfied the inspector, Mr. Byrne, that he had twenty-seven sheep and about £50 to work the land if he got a patch of it; on what grounds was his claim rejected although he was living on the land; are the Commissioners aware that Mr. Byrne told Dwyer it was presumption on the latter's part to look for land at all; and, in view of the fact that this man has a wife and two children and plenty of means to work a farm, will the Commissioners look into his case when any land in this locality will fall into their hands?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners inform me that the papers in connection with this matter are at present with their inspector in the country, and they are not therefore in a position to furnish a reply to the hon. Member's question.
