- The local landlord of my district was Charles Maxwell. He came from the north of Ireland. He was very good to the Catholics although being a protestant. He was a very kind man. He never evicted anyone. He was landlord for sixty years. The tenants approached him on one occasion, and asked him to reduce their rent, and he reduced it 5/- on the pound.
