Abstract:
In this paper I propose to direct your attention to some statistical
information which I have collected respecting the sales of
estates in Ireland by the Incumbered Estates Court. The questions
which I proposed to myself in arranging the information
which I collected are the following:?First?"Does it appear that
any necessity existed for establishing the cheap, simple, and expeditious
forms of procedure of the Incumbered Estates Court, in
lieu of the proceedings previously required in the Courts of
Chancery and Exchequer? Secondly?Is there any evidence of
the parties most interested having confidence in the proceedings
of the new court? Thirdly?At what rates of purchase have
the estates been really sold? Fourthly?To what cause is the
difference of prices realized for the different classes of estates to
be ascribed?
Description:
