In the trials for turbary in the Kiltyclogher cases a rule made by a landlord in his office overrides even a lease, and is accepted as de facto law in the court. These things have convinced me that the exterminating landlords are the parties who are guilty of high treason against the commonwealth of England.
It is not stubbornness, but helplessness and despair that makes them cling so to their homes, combined with an utter dread of the disgrace and separation involved in going to the workhouse. I listened to one tale after another of harassment, misery and thoughtless oppression in Kiltyclogher till my heart was sick, and I felt one desire to run away that I might hear no more.
I applied the traditional grain of salt to what I heard, but could not manage to add it to what I saw. Mr. Tottenham rules part of Kiltyclogher. This man has a very evil name among the tenants. Reclamation of land by very poor people is a very serious matter. As the Fermanagh farmer said, they put their lives into it.
