The village of Coolgreany is on the property, and there was a good monthly fair held there, but it is very much gone down since the disagreement between the landlord and tenant.

The tenants, speaking generally, in allowing themselves to be evicted and not redeeming before six months, are giving up all their improvements to the landlord, no matter what they may be worth.

I have got quite tired of the vexed question, and may say I have given up reading about evictions, and pity the tenant who is foolish enough to allow any party to advise him so badly as to allow himself to be evicted.' "Those who read this testimony of a candid witness, and remember the cordial footing on which Mr.Brooke stood with his tenantry in Bodyke before Mr.Billon appeared amongst them, may well ask what good his interference did to the now impoverished tenantry of Bodyke, or to the district now deserted or laid waste .-- I am, etc., A RADICAL UNIONIST." [24] In curious confirmation of this opinion expressed to me by a man of the country in March, I find in the _Dublin Express_ of July 19th this official news from the Athy Vice-Guardians: "At the meeting of the Vice-Guardians of the Athy Union yesterday, a letter was read from Mr.G.Finlay, Auditor, in which he stated that the two sureties of Collector Kealy, of the Luggacurren district, had been evicted from their holdings by Lord Lansdowne, and were not now in possession of any lands there.

They were allowed outdoor relief to the extent of L1 a week each on the ground of destitution.
The Auditor continued: 'The Collector tells me that they both possess other lands, and have money in bank.

The Collector is satisfied that they are as good, if not better, securities for the amount of his bond now than at the time they became sureties for him.
