  1. The landlord for this district long ago was Lord Clenton. He lived in England but his agent lived in Clonakilty[?] The agent's name was Tom Wright and he used come to Waterfall House twice a year to gather rent. He was well liked by the people because he didn't{?] put anyone out of his land. It was he who divided the [?] into farms. Tom Wright had the district from Milcove east to Derrin-Corrin including Bere Island[?]
