    (continued from previous page)
    lords were very cruel to their tenants. They used to make the people pay very high rents, and if they did not pay they used to take their stock and sometimes they used to evict the people. Sometimes they used to make the people work for them and not pay them. When the landlord used to put the people out of their houses they used to go into the woods and at night they used to come out and set fire to the land and they used to annoy the landlord.
    When a country person's son or daughter is getting married his father gives him half his land and stock.
