asked the Minister for Lands and Agriculture whether he is aware that proceedings in the High Courts were, at the suit of the Land Commission, instituted against John Walsh, Dreeny, Skibbereen, and John Sullivan, Derrylugga, Skibbereen, for the recovery of compounded arrears of rent; whether in view of the very heavy costs of such proceedings he will state why same could not have been instituted in the Circuit Court, and, further, whether in view of the very heavy costs charged by State solicitors in such cases he will state whether any scale of costs is fixed.

Mr. HOGAN
Owing to the short notice of this question I have not been able to get the information necessary to enable me to reply. I will answer the Deputy to-morrow.
