Land Commission.
A
letter was read
in reply from the

stating that the Land Commission regretted
they could not see their way to waive a
claim for payment for loss incurred by the
State through the attendance of an Inspector
of the Commission as witness for one of the
parties in a case heard in a Circuit Court,
which claim the Council had asked the
Commission not to press, owing to what
the Council
considered
to
be
special
circumstances.
