A man named Mc Clure acted as land agent and has his office in a place called Glenhayel Kenmare.
Several tennants were evicted for non payment of Rent.

- Lord Ventry was the landlord of this district long ago.
He was here in this part 28 years ago.
He was not a bad Landlord.
He evicted nobody in this townland for he always gave time to pay the rent.

The Landlord had great control over the tenants for if they did not pay the rent they would be evicted.(continues on next page)
