§ Mr. HACKETTasked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he is aware that William Dwyer was evicted from a farm of 100 acres on the Montalt estate at Dundrum in the year 1885, and that his widow, Mrs. Bridget Dwyer's, claim for reinstatement at the time of the division of Dundrum estate was passed over; and whether the Estates Commissioners will consider her claim with a view to provide her with a holding immediately?
