The issue of a reply to the Deputy was deferred pending the outcome of an application which was made on 7th February, 1977, to the High Court to reconstitute the proceedings in this matter. The application was adjourned and will come again before the court on 7th March. The Land Commission will inform the Deputy of the outcome when the court's decision is known.
