  1. Landlords Long Ago

    Share Share Post
    Long ago people were not allowed to own their own land.
    The towns and districts around them belonged to one individual who was called a landlord who demanded very high rents.
    For holdings on his estate he had an agent for collecting the rent.
    If a tenant could not pay rent or if he displeased the landlord in any way he could evicted.
    About forty or fifty years ago there lived in Mitown Malbay a lady named Mrs Burdette Moroney.
    The places that suffered most were Bodyke and Miltown owing to evictions for non-payment of rents.
