Where often evictions had been

"Bradell" was an agent of Colonel Hare's. He was collecting rent at "Dobbin's Hotel" in Tipperary. He refused to take the rent from Michael Hayes, Doon. He had the rent in one hand, and a pistol in the other. He asked the agent three times to take the rent, which he refused. Then he said "if you don't take the rent you can take this", and he discharged the pistol into his body.
