In 1887 the rental was only L300 higher than in 1862, though during the interval the landlord had laid out L20,000 on improvements in the shape of drainage, roads, labourers' cottages, and other permanent works.

"Was there any ill-feeling towards the Marquis among the tenants ?" I asked of Mr.Hind.
"Certainly not, and no reason for any.

They were a good set of men, and they would never have gone into this fight, only for a few who were in trouble, and I'm sure that to-day most of them would be thankful if they could settle and get back.

The best of them had money enough, and didn't like the fight at all." All the trouble here seems to have originated with the adoption of the Plan of Campaign.
Lord Lansdowne, besides this estate in Queen's County, owns property in a wild, mountainous part of the county of Kerry.

On this property the tenants occupy, for the most part, small holdings, the average rental being about L10, and many of the rentals much lower.
