  1. In Ireland long ago landlords were very numerous. These men had a certain amount of land each which they ruled and gathered rents from the tenants.
    These landlords were very rich because they kept and spent the money which the people paid each year of it they did not pay they were evicted and their house pulled down and sometimes burned.
    There were many landlords living in Drumsna long ago they owned very large houses and these are still to be seen.
