We found it full of very fine-looking cattle, and Mr.
Hutchins seems to think the operation of managing the estate as a kind of "ranch" decidedly promising.

"I am not a bit sorry for Mr.Dunne," he said, "but I am very sorry for other quiet, good tenants who have been deluded or driven into giving up valuable holdings to keep him and Mr.
Kilbride company, and give colour to the vapourings of Mr.William O'Brien." The cases of some of these tenants were instructive.

They found other uses for it, and when the storm came he was two years and a half in arrears.

In another instance, two brothers held contiguous holdings, and were in a manner partners.
