  1. (continued from previous page)
    of the O Sullivans are still living in Cooma Cista their name is not O Sullivan now but Broderick.
    The agent that Hartopp had after "Joe" O Sullivan his name was Butler. Butler lived in Waterville and he was a good man. Hartopp owned from Bunaneer Bridge to Waterville Bridge.
    Lord Carberry (owned) was the Landlord before Hartopp. He was a good man and he used to live in England. He gave the property to his daughter. Hartopp married Lord Carberrys daughter and that is how he came to be Landlord. The land was divided into farms before Hartopps time.
    The landlord had great power over his tenants. If a man met him on the road he would have to take of his cap. When the tenants would approach the agents house they would have to take of their hats and carry them in their hands. If the tenants improved their houses or put big windows in the house they would have to pay a tax on every window to the landlord. The tenants used to give certain days every year to the agent digging the potatoes saving the hay and setting the garden.
