During the Land Judges’ Court session, presided over by Judge Ross, the estate of Viscount Massereene and Hon. M.F. Deake, located in Limerick and Tipperary, was addressed. Mr P.C. Gaussen, representing the encumbrancers, requested that the court approve proposals from tenants to purchase their holdings on the estate. With rents paid in all but four cases, the price was fixed at 18 to 20 years’ purchase. Judge Ross ultimately decided that he could not accept proposals from all tenants, including those who defaulted. Instead, the court only accepted proposals from tenants who had fully paid their dues.
