Captain Hamilton came in as agent only a few years ago.
While the Act of 1881 was impending, an abatement was granted of more than twenty per cent.
In 1882 the tenants all paid except eleven, who went into Court and got their rents cut down by the Sub-Commissioners.
There were appeals; and in 1885, after Court valuations, the rents cut down by the Sub-Commissioners were restored in several cases.
There never was any rack-renting on the estate at all. There are upon it in all more than a hundred tenants, twelve of whom are Protestants, holding a little less in all than one-fourth of the property. There are fifteen judicial tenants, twenty-one lease-holders, and seventy-seven hold from year to year. The gross rental is a little over L2000 a year of which one-half goes to Mr.Brooke's mother.
