Whether this failure results from dishonesty or from misfortune is a consideration not often allowed, I think, to affect the right of the legal owner of the property concerned to his legal remedy in any other country but Ireland, nor even in Ireland in the case of any property other than property in land.

But as what I learned on the spot touching the general condition of the Clanricarde tenants, and touching the conduct and character of Lord Clanricarde's agent, Mr.Tener, led me to take a special interest in these evictions, I asked him to send me some account of them.

In reply he gave me a number of interesting details.
The only serious attempt at resisting the execution of the law was made by "Dr." Tully, one of the leading local "agitators," to the tendency of whose harangues judicial reference was made during the investigation into the case of Mr.Wilfrid Blunt.

Tully had a holding of seventeen acres at a rent of L2, 10s., the Government valuation being L4.

He earned a good livelihood as a boat-builder, and he had put up a slated house on his holding.
