"Landlords"
Long ago the landlord of Quin was Lord Limerick.At present he owns land in Quin,which is rented by Mortimer Carrigg. Jerry Carmody and Dan Clune The people had a very bad opinion of the landlord because through poverty they could not pay their rent and were evicted.When evicted some of them were reinstated and others left Ireland altogether.It was through tyranny the landlords got possession of the land.
Tithes were collected in Quin long ago by the landlord's agent.Both money and grain were collected as tithes .At present there are no land-lords .
Long ago if the landlord saw a horse and took a liking to the horse ,he could take him and give the owner a trifle for him.
