  1. (continued from previous page)
    what would you see? The man and his family having the breakfast, and pass at midnight you would see them taking the road, while their house was hurled by a machins called the battern ram. Pass in the evening you would the landlords men and their horses ploughing across the kitchen floor. Think of the family having there breakfast in the morning and evicted in the evening and a crop sowed in there place.
