These lands, consisting of 75a. 0r. 29p. of Colnaha North, were distributed in November last amongst 12 allottees—11 small-holders and the herd—who were placed in occupation under Temporary Convenience agreements. The purchase money has been advanced and is to credit of the estate in the Court of the Irish Land Commission for payment to the parties who may be ascertained to be legally entitled thereto. The title to the purchase money has been examined, and the Examiner's rulings on title have recently been issued to the owner's solicitors, and when such rulings have been complied with the matter will be listed before the Judicial Commissioner for distribution of the funds to credit.
