- (continued from previous page)Landlords left the country by degrees.
The South Mayo Police struck against protecting the Land-lords, bailiff and sheriffs. Patsy Ansboro says that Balfour and the S.Mayo police were the first friends the tenants had.
All the young men of this district, Patsy included, were organised, sworn in and drilled, and if anyman grabbed land or did any thing tyrannical, two or three of these young men were told off to either shoot or card the tyrant. Herds were not allowed to herd cattle for a land-grabbers and cattle drives often took place.
A man named Dempsey was evicted near Manulla on the Blosse Lynch estate. Parnell employed a special train to come and have the tenant re-instated.
