O'Bla. Asy settled that! but I hope many more duns for oats won't be calling on me this day, for cash is not to be had: here's bills plenty long bills, and short bills but even the kites, which I can fly as well as any man, won't raise the wind for me now. Re-enter PAT. Pat. Tim McGudikren, sir, for his debt and talks of the sub-sheriff, and can't wait. O'Bla.

As a proof how utterly an exacting landlord puts himself, if not outside of the law, yet beyond any claim to public sympathy, I may cite the conduct of Mr. James C. MacDonnell, the sub-sheriff of this county. I have the story from an intimate friend of that gentleman, on whose veracity I can implicitly rely.

Remember there was only one harvest between them and the famine year. They had also put in the crops in their little holdings, they said, "but as God lives we have neither bite nor sup to keep us till harvest time." The sub-sheriff asked why they did not go to a certain dealer. They said the terms were so hard that they could never pay him.

Five or ten minutes may have passed when a man named Reid, who had run for the post of Sub-Sheriff the year before, and had failed to beat Johnson's nominee Jarvis, rose from his chair and asked abruptly: "Sheriff, do you reckon to take any of us uns with you to-morrow?" With an indefinable ring of sarcasm in his negligent tone, the Sheriff answered: "I guess not, Mr. Reid."

He dined that day in Dublin, the next in London, and the third in Boulogne; and the sub-sheriff of County Kildare in vain issued half-a-dozen writs for his capture. We will now return for a while to Dunmore, and settle the affairs of the Kellys and Lynches, which we left in rather a precarious state.

Whenever the 'History of Modern Ireland' comes to be written, that glowing outburst of truth ought to be quoted. There were some evictions carried out at Farranfore on the estate of Lord Kenmare, by the sub-sheriff, Mr. Harnett, and a force of military and police numbering about one hundred and thirty. During the eviction of one Daly, horns were blown and the chapel bell set ringing.

There's been another bailiff shot in Mayo, and we've had a process-server nearly beaten to death down our side of the counthry. Gad! I was out with the Sub-Sheriff and fifty police thrying to serve notices on Lord Rosshill's estate, and we had to come back as we wint. Such blawing of horns you niver heard in yer life.
