  1. The Landlord

    Share Share Post
    The landlord lived in Derrycasson House. His name was Dopping. He did not live there long. He came and stayed there for eight years. He was very hard on the people. He owned most of the district and houses. After 8 years he went to live in the Co. Down. A lot of people were put out of their houses.
    The people used to work for him, but still if they did not do what he bid them they would be put out of their homes.
