  1. (continued from previous page)
    poor peoples houses and lands that were not able to pay big rents and rates had to go to America or England and the old people that were not able to go, had to go to the County Home.
    After many years the (Commissioners) Landlords sold the land to the Commissioners. The Commissioners did great good for the country. They divided all the land and gave it to the poor and built houses on it. The landlords are not to be seen now only the ruins of their houses
