The total amount of land purchase annuities collectible for the second gale of 1933 in County Westmeath was £42,973 17s. 6d., of which £20,783 12s. 4d. has been paid to date. Warrants have already been issued against 570 defaulters under Section 28 of the Land Act, 1933. No return has yet been made by the sheriff in respect of the warrants issued and, consequently, the Land Commission are not in a position to state at the moment what payments have been made to him.
