This demand was rejected, and forty writs were issued.

The tenants thereupon in January 1882 came in and paid the full rent, with the costs.
Eleven tenants after this went into Court, and in 1883 the Sub-Commissioners cut down their rents.

In five cases Mr.Brooke appealed.

What was the result before the Chief Commissioner?
The rent of Mary Green, which had been L43, and had been cut down by the Sub-Commissioners to L39, was restored to L43; the rent of Mr.Kavanagh, cut down from L57 to L52, was restored to L55; the rent of Pat Kehoe (one of the two tenants "ejected" from Mr.Brooke's office as already stated), cut down from L81 to L70, was restored to L81; the rent of Graham, cut down from L38 to L32, 10s., was restored to L38.

Other reductions were maintained.
This appears to be the record of "rack-renting" on the Coolgreany property.
There are 114 tenants, of whom 15 hold under judicial rents; 22 are leaseholders, and 77 are non-judicial yearly tenants.
