- The Landlord of our district was Mr. Crichton. He was Landlord in our district for forty years but the Crichton family is around here yet. He had different townlands such as Ross, Derk and Lisnarawer. The people thought him a nice Landlord and if the people had not the rent paid in time he would not rush them in any way.
If he saw the people shooting game or snairing rabbits he would not allow them. There is an old rhyme said,
"The Landlords cow is a grazing now,
Where the poor mans ought to be,
Oh, have it so, for I must go,
To the lands of America".
