- (continued from previous page)poor woman could 'nt pay a half-penny of it, and he had her evicted. Some time after she got a free passage to America. On the day she was going a small boat came into the shore, in front of Carrigafoyle Castle to take her and her six children to a steamer which waited at the back of Carrigisland. Before she went into the boat, she went down on her knees in the mud, and cursed the Hickie Landlord. It is a strange thing that some time after, this man got a stroke of Paralysis near that spot, of which he never recovered.
In later years the lands, of Clounamon, Mortara, Carrig, and the greater portion of Kelelton were purchased by the Irish Land Commission, to whom the people now pay their rents, and need no longer fear the cruelty of a Landlord.
