  1. (continued from previous page)
    the hunger and his house is now in ruins. In this district a man named Con Nolan who lived in the famine years was evicted out of his house because he was not able to pay the rent. Then he went down to Horgan's bog and built a house out of sods. He built his house on the boundaries of Dysert, Ballinagar and Ballyduff bogs and the landlord of Dysert could not put him out but if the three landlords went together they could put him out but these landlords did not agree and so the man was left in peace.
