- Long ago landlords owned most of the land and they put tenants in the houses and these people paid them money called rents. Of course this was double the price our fathers have to pay now.
Mr. Venable was the landlord for Claragh. He lived in the wood where Mr. Coffey is living now. He had Mr. Winslow as bailiff.
He carried out evictions as was common at that time.
One winter's day the landlord evicted Mrs. Walsh and family. It was terrible to see the family leaving and the house burned down to ashes
