Rural Council the question of parlia.
mentary representation for farmers
was forcefully discussed. Mr.. Court.

next general election. Mr.. Collins
seemed to share this opinion, remark.

Dublin Castle man M. P. for Derry"

Kerry, for instance, we have no farm

entitled to same and that we call on
the Irish Party to give more attention
to the wants of unpurchased tenants
and such cases until they are all set
