extending over three years with
all classes of tenants. The total amount which accrued, due to the Land
Commission in respect of instalments since the passing of the Act to
the 1st November 1887, was £50,910. Of this there is only now unpaid
£731, 17s. 9d. There accrued a further amount to the 1st May 1888 of
£39,720, in respect of which only £4071, 16s. 11d. is now unpaid,
making in all only £4803, 14s. 8d. unpaid, out of a total sum of £90,630
due up to last gale day, some of which by this time has been paid off."
This would seem to be worth considering in connection with the
objection made to any serious extension of Lord Ashbourne's Act by
Mr. Chamberlain in his extremely clear and able preface to a
programme of "Unionist Policy for Ireland" just issued by the "National
Radical Union."
