1.
THIS was an appeal by the owner, Lord
Inchiquin, from the order of Mr. Justice
Wylie, made on
the ruling of the final
schedule, of incumbrances on 9th March, 1914,
refusing the application of the owner that the
costs of sale properly and necessarily incurred
by him in the proceedings herein, when taxed
and ascertained, up to and including all costs
of and incidental to the distribution of the
purchase money, be ordered to be paid by
the Land Commission.
Lord Inchiquin was entitled, as tenant for
life in possession, to certain estates situate in
Co. Clare.
On the 17th April, 1911, the
Estates Commissioners wrote to him making
a proposal for the purchase, under Sec. 6 of
the Act of 1903, as amended by the Act of
1909,
of portions
thereof,
consisting of
certain tenanted and untenanted lands, at
the sum of £6,658. The owner objected to
this proposal on several grounds. On the
14th June, 1911, the Estates Commissioners
sent two final offers under Sec. 43 of the Act
of 1909 at the same price. These offers were
not accepted, and were duly published in the
Dublin Gazette.
The owner served notice of
objection to the offers. Before the applica

missioners withdrew their final offers, and
made new proposals, foregoing their previous
proposal for some of the lands mentioned
therein, and proposing to take the remainder
of these lands and some additional lands at
the sum of £10,022. The owner objected on
the ground of inadequacy of price.
