Proceedings are pending under the provisions of Section 24 (1) of Land Act, 1923, for the acquisition of certain lands in the townlands of Broadleas Commons, Horsepasstown, Kilmalum and Silverhill Lower, containing approximately 303 acres, in the estate of Captain Edward Hornidge, but the Land Commission are not yet in a position to state when the lands will be acquired. The lands of Bishopslands, containing 513 acres, the property of Deputy George Wolfe, was vested in the Land Commission on 2nd April last. The division of these lands will be carried out as expeditiously as possible, but it is not possible at present to state when the lands will be distributed.
