From a surveyor's report on the estate obtained recently, it appears that the tenants desire the lands to be rearranged by the Land Commission prior to revesting. It is not at present possible to state when the question of such rearrangement can be put in hands.
The Land Commission has no record of the receipt of letters from solicitors on behalf of the tenants on the estate which have not been replied to.
