The people pay no rent, the sub-sheriff, is not only losing his margin of profit but cannot get 150l. a year out of them.
"There is in the county of Armagh a very intelligent sub-sheriff, Mr McKinstry, and he informed his brother, the deputy-clerk of the peace, that the number of warrants signed by him as sub-sheriff in the last five years was, according to the best of his knowledge and computation, about seventy in each year; and that of these seventy, he thought not more then one-fourth was put in force; so as to cause a change of tenancy, certainly not more than one-third."
Finally, the sub-sheriff himself, who, despite his being at once a proprietor, a middleman, and an officer of the law, has won popularity by sheer weight of character, felt a natural reluctance to enforce his authority. Compelled to execute the law, he determined to make a personal appeal to the tenants before evicting them.
There was no option but to evict them; the sub-sheriff must do his duty, backed by as large a body of constabulary as might be necessary. Law and order must be enforced. This would be the view taken in any other place but this, but in Ireland the matter appeared in a totally different light.

"Just before going to press we learn that Sheriff Johnson was out of town attending to business when Judge Shannon called; but Sub-Sheriff Jarvis informs us that he expects the Sheriff back shortly.
"Don't you know," added Poll, "that the thing can be done? Isn't the sheriff himself an Orangeman isn't the sub-sheriff an Orangeman isn't the grand jury Orange, aren't they all Orange through other?" "I believe so, indeed," said Mary, still weeping bitterly, "and there is, I fear, little or no hope." "Well, but," replied Poll, "what if I could give you hope?" "You, Poll, what can you mean? You!"
I say this because I did not in the first place pay much attention to the story, but have since been enabled to verify it in every particular. Last spring Mr. MacDonnell, in his capacity as sub-sheriff, was required by Miss Gardiner to serve notices of ejectment against about a score of her tenants who had not paid up.
With all her labour, with all her care, and with all her strength, she had not succeeded in becoming the master of that weak old man. The News Reaches Cambridge The tidings of John Caldigate's pardon reached Cambridge on the Saturday morning, and was communicated in various shapes. Official letters from the Home Office were written to the governor of the jail and to the sub-sheriff, to Mr.
