§ Mr. NOLANasked the Chief Secretary whether he is aware that the application of James Byrne, Blackmills, Dromin, Dunleer, county Louth, to have a fair rent fixed at Ardee on 5th May (Record No. 3482) was dismissed with 10s. costs to the landlord, Maxwell T. Moore Boyle; and, seeing that no evidence on behalf of the landlord was given nor reason given for the decision, whether he will, in view of the principle involved, cause inquiry to be made into the case?
§ Mr. BIRRELLIn the case of James Byrne referred to, the holding consisted of about half an acre rented at £2 10s.,and his application to have a fair rent fixed was by order of the Sub-Commission Court dismissed with 10s. costs to the landlord on the ground that the holding was not substantially agricultural or pastoral in its character. If the tenant is aggrieved at the order of the Court, he is at liberty to apply in the prescribed manner to have the case reheard on appeal.
