DOMHNALL O MOCHAIN
Communications have been received on behalf of the townspeople of Newmarket requesting the Land Commission to take steps to acquire untenanted lands on the estate of Major J.C. Aldworth, Co. Cork. Proceedings were instituted by the Land Commission for the acquisition of 131a. 2r. 22p. of the lands of Park, and these lands were published in a Provisional List. The owner lodged an objection to this Provisional List, which was allowed by the Judicial Commissioner. The lands were subsequently sold in divisions to local allottees, and have again been inspected. In all the circumstances the Land Commission have decided to take no further action in the matter.
