§ Mr. BIRRELLThe intimation referred to has been received by the Estates Commissioners. They have already provided another holding for the former tenant of the holding now occupied by James Lane, and are making inquiries with a view to providing other holdings for Patrick Whelan and John Griffin. The Commissioners have refused to take any action as regards Mrs. McCoy, who made application for reinstatement as the sister of the former tenant of the holding now occupied by Martin Ryan, and who is already in occupation of another holding containing over 100 statute acres.
