Mr. POWERasked who is in occupation at present of a farm on the Barron etsate, at Coolnahorna, county Waterford, from which a Mrs. Coffey was evicted; have the Estates Commissioners endeavoured to negotiate with the present occupier with the view of abstaining this farm for Mrs. Coffey, and, if so, with what results; and, if the Estates Commissioners fail to acquire the Coolnahorna farm for Mrs. Coffey will they take steps to acquire another farm for her elsewhere?

§ Mr. BIRRELLThe Estates Commissioners have received an application from Mrs. Coffey for reinstatement in her former holding on the Barron Estate. The present occupier of this holding has purchased it under the Land Purchase Acts, and the Commissioners are unable to interfere in the matter, but they have noted Mrs. Coffey's name for consideration in the allotment of any untenanted land which may be acquired by them in the locality.
