- Our landlord in olden days was Mr Sanderson. He lived in a castle out-side the town of Cavan. He collected it in, the rent twice every year. He collected it in the months of June and November. His Bailiff was Mr Frazer and his agent was Mr Thrench.
The agent collected the rent for him. If the people did not pay their rent he would turn them out of their houses, and take their cattle.
