Gs at prices varying from L18 to L520, the average being L80. On
another, six farms bring L5,603, one fetching L2,250. In the west, small
farmers are buying where they can. In Sligo the MacDermott, Q.C., has
sold farms to forty-two of his tenants for L3,096, the prices varying
from L32 to L70 and L130; and the O'Connor Don has sold farms in the
same county to fifteen tenants for L1,934. The number of acres purchased
under this Act for the three years ending August, 1888, are a trifle
over 293,556. The Government valuation is L171,774,000. The net rent is
L190,181 12s. 9d. The purchase-money is L3,350,933. The average number
of years' purchase is 17.6. Perhaps the most important of all these
sales are those on the Egmont estate in the very heart of one of the
gravely-disturbed districts. The rent-roll of this estate was L16,000 a
year; and it was estimated that successive landlords had laid out about
L250,000 in improvements--which was just the sum expected to be realized
by the sales. All this land has passed into the hands of farmers who,

been effected. A hundred and fifty tenants on the Drapers' estate in
county Derry have bought their farms from the London Company at a total
of L57,980. These, with others (197 in all), reached a sum total of
purchase-money of L63,305, as set forth in the _Dublin Gazette_, of
November 5th, 1889. Lord Spencer, whose political _volte
