I beg to move:—To delete in lines 22 and 23, the words "together with Part V. of that Act."

The object of the deletion is because the lines are unnecessary, inasmuch as the definition is contained in the Land Purchase Act of 1909, Section 66. It is purely a drafting amendment.

The Minister for Agriculture asked me to say that he accepted that amendment, as also the other amendments standing in the name of Senator the Earl of Wicklow.

I beg to move:—

To delete in line 26 the words "Parts I., II., and IV., of that Act," and to insert in lieu thereof the words "any subsequent Act now in force which is by its terms to be construed as one with the Land Purchase Acts."

This is exactly for the same purpose.

I beg to move "To add after the word ‘in' the words ‘or held in trust for.'" Originally the Congested Districts Board were not supposed to hold any property outside their own districts and any such property which belonged to them was held in trust for them, and it is in order to bring that property in that it is desired to insert this amendment. It really relates to the Board's offices in Parnell Square which were held, being outside the Congested Districts, in trust in the names of Sir Henry Doran and Mr. W. L. Micks, and one other small trust in the West of Irealnd in the names of the same gentlemen. It is for the purpose of bringing these into the purview of this Act that these words have been inserted.
