  1. The Landlord

    Share Share Post
    The Landlord of our district was Lord Masserene, and Lord Rathdonnell. They had been settled a long time in the district.
    Lord Rathdonnell was a good landlord and Lord Masserene was a very bad landlord.
    Evictions had been by Lord Masserene but not by Lord Rathdonnell.
    I don't know where the evicted people went to. It is not know how the Landlord or his ancestors came into possession of the land. The land was not divided into farms under their guidance.
    The Landlord did not exercise, any special over his tenants.
    They were punished for their acts. Tithes were collected in former times in money.
