  1. The Landlord

    Share Share Post
    In olden times the tenant farmers were persecuted severely by landlords.
    Some of them were very cruel, and would evict the farmers out of their houses, and lands, if they did not pay the rent it would be due.
    The most noticeable evicting landlords in the south were Ponsonby and Lord Barrymore.
    The landlords of this district were the late Duke of Devonshire and Mr. Nason. They were not very severe, and did not evict many tenants.
    The first relief the farmers got from landlordism was when the Government passed a Land-Act.
    The landlords got money, and the tenant farmers had to pay it in small terms, and they became owners of their farms.
