HC Deb 24 October 1912 vol 42 cc2385-6W
Mr. SHEEHY

asked the Chief Secretary whether the Leonard estate, in Warrenstown, has been sold; and, if so, will he say why Richard Casberry and two other tenants were excluded from the purchase, seeing that other tenants similarly situated have been included?

Mr. BIRRELL

The reply to the first paragraph of the question is in the affirmative. In the case of the three tenants referred to in the question the Estates Commissioners did not consider the holdings security for the advances applied for under the Land Purchase Acts.
