- There was only one landlord in my district. His name was Tom Tighe.
He rules it for about fifty years. He was well liked by the inhabitants of the district. He never evicted anybody.
He got the land from his fore-fathers. It was Tom himself who divided the land after Ashbournes Act in the year 1885. He divided it into twenty holdings. After the division of it he lost all power over it.
There were no tithes in my district. There are no stories told about any Bailiffs, rents, or landlords who were in my district.
