    Landlords
    Most of the landlords of long ago were very cruel. The landlord of our village was Mayor Casey. He was a good man. His father had the land before him. Mr Flaherty was the bailiff. He was a very bad man. There was an agent named Jackson and he was a very cruel man. He increased the rents from twelve shillings to one pound for an acre. The landlords of Moccorra was Meldium. He evicted a family in Moccarra.
