- (continued from previous page)Dr. Hicks, a native of Derreenatra, was the landlord of Mount Gabriel. He took away half of the mountain from the people. He built a fence from the mine road across to "the Cut". He put cattle on it himself. They used to go around eating the peoples' crops.
He also cut down some of the finest trees that grew on Mount Gabriel and shipped them across to England.
Thomas Marmion, a native of Skibbereen, was the landlord of South Glaun. His agent was Miss Kitty Mac Carthy, a native of Glaun. Marmion was considered as good but she was considered as bad. She evicted a family called Goggins and gave them a bad one. She also took some of their land and raised the rent. The people should do what the landlord wished them to do.
