   The landlord of this district was Mr. Henry Gallwey. He was living in Tramore and he had a whiskey store in Waterford. He was looked upon as being a good landlord. Evictions did not take place. If a person had not all the rent together, a little at the time need only be paid. The landlord would wait until the person got some money to pay up. The landlord bought the land from the landlord before him. Forms were not made or sub divided under his guidance. The landlord would not mind what was done with the land if ther rent was paid. Tithes were not collected in this townland. There is no story about the landlord or tenant.
