The business of these agents was to get all the rent money they could, and they made life very hard for the farmers. Sometimes when the farmers couldn't pay all the rent, the agent would turn them out of their houses. This was called "evicting" them.
He was very proud of his powers of evicting tenants, and, as he had the Squire's permission to do his worst on this occasion, would be the last man in the world to relax his iron grip. Nora, however, wandered about in vain; there was no sign of Andy. She even ventured to go to the borders of the plantation and softly call his name. "Andy Andy Neil," called the girl, but no Andy responded.
There is only one objection to the box spring: when the bedbug once effects an entrance therein, the days of that spring are numbered, for there is no evicting him. Woven wire and coil springs run from $2.25 up, according to the number of coils, wires, and weight.
Nothing no lapse of time nor change of place or circumstances ever causes anyone to forget an eviction. Now they say that the Duke of Abercorn holds this immense tract of country on the condition of rooting the people in the soil by long leases, not on condition of evicting them out; therefore, he has forfeited his claim to the lands over and over again.
They told me that an evicting party is coming to the island tomorrow morning, and gave me a long account of what they make and spend in a year and of their trouble with the rent. 'The rent is hard enough for a poor man, said one of them, 'but this time we didn't pay, and they're after serving processes on every one of us.
Despite the robbery of Prince Charles's gold, deep poverty prevailed. In the summer of 1751, Glenure evicted James from a farm, and in April, 1752, took measures for evicting other farmers on Ardshiel estates.
It was a most cruel thing; here in this district was his home, such as it was, the place he was used to and the friends he knew and now every possibility of employment in it was closed to him. There was nothing in Packingtown but packing houses; and so it was the same thing as evicting him from his home. He and the two women spent all day and half the night discussing it.
Rising everywhere to positions of authority, the Turkish mercenaries began to act like masters. Opening the eastern frontiers, they let in fresh swarms of their countrymen, who now came, not as individuals, but in tribes or "hordes" under their hereditary chiefs, wandering about at their own sweet will, settling where they pleased, and despoiling or evicting the local inhabitants.
