He told a story, confirmed by Mr.Tener, of a bailiff, whom he named, on the Clanricarde property here, who was compelled two years ago to resign his place in order to prevent the "boycotting" of his mother who keeps a shop on the farm.

He was familiar, too, with the details of a story told me by one of the Clanricarde tenants, a farmer near Loughrea who holds a farm at L90 a year.

This man was forced to subscribe to the Plan of Campaign.

The agent proceeded against him for the rent due, and he incurred costs of L10.

His sheep and crop were then seized.
He begged the local leaders to "permit" him to pay his rent, as he was able to do it _without drawing out the funds in their hands_! They refused, and so compelled him to allow his property to be publicly sold, and to incur further costs of L10.
