The landlords were sent from England and they took possession of the land.Lord Leitrim was a cruel landlord. He evicted David Hay from Downings and he is begging since. David made a song about his eviction. Lord Leitrim made some men work for him when they could not pay the rent. When they had worked for a time for him he let them go. The man that collected the rent for O'Boyle was called Bailey. It was gathered every November.
