"It would be too tedioaa to giTt a " (letailed acconnt of erery law .suit " that now foUewed but from Ulft " time, sommMr of 1848 up to' the •* summer aaskee ol 1848 the londlind ** proceeded in tlM ooorti for a warrent ' oliejactment iflioik Bnig nine times. " On tbe first eight oases he was " defeated but jwoeeeded on the ninth. ** He had thirteen other Uw suits of " various kind^ with tbe same defend- " Aut, during whi he sold his farni- ' tare five times and his horse twice. ** In a'l, he had twenty sales by auction " preyious to midsammei of that year. " Part of the furniture was in several " instances brought back by the agent AT.T. " Mr. James Ooyne, who handed " money privately to Ring to par ' for it. • "The crop of 1842 was seized on " and sold at seven different times. " It was much more than sufficient to 'pay the rent, even though the " manure was carried away in the " spring by the landlord but those " seven different salest with a number " of men receiving at each of the " seven seizures 26b. 4d. a day as " kee])ers to watch the crop from the " day of distraint to the day of sale, â€" " tLosc seven seizures on a crop which " loight have been all seized and sold " at one time, with only one set of *• expenses, â€" resulted as they, were " intended to do, in nearly doubling " the rent. Moreover, tbe crop being " distrained while growing, was cat " down by people whom the landlord " employed, althoagb the tenant and " bis ifamily were standmg unemployed; " and to.suoh workpeople tbe landlord • can give any wages he chooses, to ' be deducted from the tenant up to " 8sh. 6d. a day eyen thongh the " harvest wages of the diptrict be 8d. " or lOd. a day eyen though the " tenant, who is thus not allowed to ' give bis own labouj to his own " form, may, to avoid starvation, be ** compelled to work for another em- " ployer at the fourth part, to wit, " 7id. a day, of what the law obliges ' him to pay lor workmen on his own •• farm. "It may be some proof of the ex- ** ertioni made by the tenant to pfty *• his way, when I state,^ that, not- ' vrithslanding all the etraordinary expenses of the seizures, and of the ' protracted and complicated litiga- " tion, the rent was paid by the ".autumn of 1842. There was nothing ' owing by Bing save a sum of £1 and " odds, connected with the espenses • of a Bommon swhich had been decid- " ed against him on some technical " point of law. "For tbe recovery of this £1, a "decree was obtaiued against Bing, " and orders given by tne landlord " to arrest and put him in gaol. This, " Bing endeavored to avoid by keeping " outof tiie reach of the officers,, which " be did snooessfully a month and " some odd days. The reason why " he was ayerse to go to gaol, and " why the landlord desired to have " him lodged there, is worth' relating A I " ^^ length, as it is characteriitic of certain customs ih Ireland altogether • unknown on the Brtish side of the " channel.- "iVis a rare thing to find alandlord in Ireluid bulling houses or farm offices for a tenant tbe tenant builds them himself. Hence so many mean houses exist in that country, and hence also the desporate tenacity with which the Iririi peasant or fajmer holds to his house when an ejectment comes upon him. If his lease has expired, or if he is to be ejected for tbe non-inlfilment of some condition of his lease, he must leave the hoase and bam and stable which he built, the doors and gi^aa he erected, with- out receiving anything for them. To live in a house whieh we have oursdves built, or whush nor fotiiar or grand- fotber b«tft at no npense toa UUidlord, is to livo.in a booM which we aro u^nraUy isidiaid to eonsidtr our own, Ikomf^ 'a^' btv il may nol be aeo so mamfj «f Irdlpfnl Uiim wmj or iridMtaBtial and «nNiti«t, ^;jeQp^ m Jimlkm -w leas and mariked wifli vioImim, becaase ttie Imdlocd not having built tiie hooses, nor having any fisar of being obliged to rebafldthwai hesitate not to unroof a house in order to ejert a tenant. It is a remarkable fact ex emphfied on almost every estate where the clearing away of a tenanti^ has been practised, that wherever an ejectment takes place tbe l^;ality of which is doubtful, tbe landlord, or the agent who acts for him, levelsthe honse and /ana buildings with the ground the moment the holder is forced out, Istt he should come in again." "This was done on the estate where the unfortunate Pat Bing held his farm; and Bing had seen that the landlord did not always wait for an ejechment 6f the tenant before he pulled down the house. In our case, that of a tenant named Bashe, the laulord resolved on ejectment; but Bashe owing no rent, he could only proceed as he had done against Bing, or by some other process of a like kind. He took a shorter one. Bushe had paid his rent in order to keep the house above his head- (a good dwelling it had been, to ju(7ge from the size and worth of the snbstantial walls which in part were still stamffaig when I was there) â€" bnt he bad not paid every man in the county to whom he was indebted. He owed one person, re- siding at a distance, moncy^ more as it soon appeared than he could pay at once. i?his man the landlord found through some of his agents appointed for such purposes, and purchased from him the debt which Bushs owed The account being legally conveyed, the landlord proceeded against the debtor, threw him into prison, and as soon as he had him there, took the roof off his house, turning out his vrife and six yoing children upon tbe open highway. There they remained without shelter and without food until people in ttu adjoining village assisted them. The father was in prison and could neither resist the spoilation of the house which he himself had built, nor do anything by work or other wise for bis family's subsistence. In every respect the proceedings were illegal on the part of the landlord; but* though lawyers urcted Bushe to prosecute, and assured him of ultimate success, he was too far gone to listen to them. He was broken-hearted, he had no confidence in lafT he bad seen tbe landlord set law at defiance and tiie ruin of his roofless house every piece of timber from which and every handful of tbatcb. also the doors and windows had been carried away by order ot tbe landlord, and by tbe assistance of the armed constabolary, who are located on the estate at the express request of tne landlord and by sanction of the goyemmeut the rain of his roofless house and the utter begsrary of himself and family overwhelmed Bushe he would trust nothmg more to kw." "He (Bushe) was heart-broken, and rather than stay among people who had known bim happy in mind and comfortable in circumstances, he chose to leave the country, and be a beggar, now that he was compelled to be one where he was not known. A less sensitive man than he, might have done differently. There have been cases in Ireland) many, and in that county, oyen in that district of the county, where fathers of families treated in that manner, have taken the law of vengeance into their own hands, and have afforded the newspapers and^the police Htu-and-ery (a Police Gasette, containing a full description of the purty wanted) the materials for publishing to the wodd paragraphs and advertisraaenta of offered reward, headed "Fn(^btlal state of Kilkenny 1" **Snoh paragraj^bs are bj ns^ means rare and people in Ifinglwad Ittlieve that Tipperiffy and EiUfiennj 'are filled with oriminala vritft lake « lavage deKght in aoMjiltiag lapdiacda and huid-aienta wIthPHi fipvee»tkm..

Manchester, Xiondon, or Glasgow, now, it was tiie knowledge which Bmg had of such eases of house-demolition by order of the landlords when a tenant was out of the wav. â€" lodged safely in priebn, â€" diat made him fearful of the officers, who had a decree on whieh to arrest him for the non-payment of costs of £17 due to the landlord by one of tho many cases then pending, having been decided in the landlord's favor. Thc^ amount was not great but the finsquent seizures, with costs of lawsuits and rent, had reduced him to less than his last penny. He had potatoes, a part of the feeble isrop grown on the laud which in the spring had been defrauded of its manure, and, though there were less of them in his possess- ion than would keep his iamily over winter, even without feeding a pig, he might have sold some to pay tlua bill of costs rather than go to gaol, where he could do uotuiug either for his family or his farm. But, though the potatoes were distrained upon, the object of the landlord was not so much the payment of the small debt of costs as the confinment of the tenant in gaol " "For more than a month Bing avoided the officers by crossing walls and ditches and fields whenever he got notice of their approach. He slept in the fields as well, and in the shelter of lime kilns and ruined houses, â€" ruined as he feared his would be, and as he feared but too truly. The case came at last to a crisis, thus â€" "He was seen to enter his house. The bailiffs followed, but foand tbe door fastened, and therefor^ could not legally enter. They kept watch outside to prevent his escape. They received orders, that, if he did not surrender, they were to remain there night and day, and prevent the in- troduction of any ar^tiolo into the house, food or water. "The potato store being in the field, and no supply in the house, and the water being also outside, it was ex- pected tbe family would soon be starved, and that Bing must capitulate. In this laying siege to tbe house, the bailifiis might not be aetihg according to the law of tbe land, but they were acting according to the law of the landlord, which, on that estate as on many otiiers in Ireland, is above the law of the land." "Before the first day of the siege was oyer, there was neither food nor drink in the bouse and shut up in it were lather, mother, and five young children. Ncignbors and relatives ot Bing would have supplied them but were sternly .told, tiiat, if they attempted, they would not only be prevented, bat that tbelandlord woald cause them to regret it." "Again and agam through night and through day, did the cry for water uame from the famishing family. The mother bad a sueking infant, and in her attempt to save all her ehildren from stervatitm by admittin:; them to the privilege of infancy, she but augmented thwr distress and her own. She saw her-iitfant famishing, for, when sfae would have devided her own milk, there was none to devide. She waa herself starving, and to her ii^aot she was without nourishment. " Wic.
