The result of his case was that his conduct in making away with his property was unjustifiable, and his farm and holding was sold out for the benefit of his creditors, and he is no longer a tenant on the estate.
I subsequently took proceedings against six other tenants, who refused payment of rent, and removed their cattle off the land to avoid payment, and having got judgment against them, the Sheriff sold out four of their farms, and writs of possession on the title were taken out against them, and are now lodged with the Sheriff for execution.

I have also got judgments for possession against two other tenants for non-payment of rent, also lodged with the Sheriff.

One the widow of Patrick Hogan, who got his rent fixed in the County Court, and the other Mrs.Denis Ryan, whose farm on her marriage I assented to be put in settlement for her protection, Mr.
Shine, my agent, consenting to act as one of her trustees, whose name, with his co-trustee, Mr.Thomas FitzGerald, appear as defendants, they having signed her judicial agreement.
The following are the names of the above tenants, the extent of their holdings, the rent, the Poor-Law valuation, and the average rent per Irish acre:-- +------------------+------------+-------------+---------+-----------+ | | Acreage in | Judicial | Rent | | | TENANT.
