§ Mr. DELANYasked upon what grounds the Estates Commissioners refuse to advance the full purchase price of their holdings to Patrick Kavanagh and Denis 213W Casey, Caldbeck, Ballacolla estate, Queen's County, seeing that they are both judicial tenants and work their town holdings in conjunction with agricultural holdings in the locality?
§ Mr. BIRRELLThese holdings consist in each case of a cottage and garden, the areas being 3 roods 25 perches, and 3 roods 33 perches respectively. The rent of Kavanagh's plot appears to be judicial, but in the case of Casey the plot is held under a yearly tenancy. The Estates Commissioners, in exercise of their discretion, decided that these were not suitable cases in which to make advances under the Land Purchase Acts repayable by annuities continuing over sixty-five years, but they have intimated their willingness to vest the holdings in the tenants if the purchase-money is lodged in cash in each case.
