   My father is 64 years of age. He toldme was a Landlord named Mongomery. If they people did not pay the rent he would evict out of their houses. If a man came and paid him the rent he would let him into it. This man died and his wife sold the land to a man named Patrick Mc Govern. This man put a little boy into a bag to tramp the pounds. When he came to evict the people he had a seriff and police with him. This man was very rich. He had a big castle. He was cruel to the people he that evicted. My father is Patrick oBrien of Corratimore Dromahais aged 65 years.
