To a Place-Hunter.
WHAT, out of place? Well, man take heart of grace,
Be this your comfort till once more you win it:
A man like you is never out of place-
Save when he's in it!

"SAVE US FROM OUR FRIENDS!" - The Representatives of the Goverrnment in Ireland, when they heard of the Chief Baron's severe remarks on the conduct of the Authorities in the Woodford case, eclaimed. "Who would have expected this from our 'dear old PALLES!"

in the mid 1880’s when Lord Clanricarde’s conduct towards his tenants, especially in the Woodford area had in the words of the Chief Barron Pallas “aroused the indignation of the empire”. Even the London ‘Times’ commented: ‘Lord Clanricarde has treated his tenants with incredible baseness.’

In the two years, 1883 and 1884, Clanricarde drew the huge total of £47,000 from his properties in South East Galway. When a disastrous drop in the value of livestock occurred in the following year, the hard pressed tenants applied for a reduction in the rents. When their applications were treated with contemptuous indifference, the tenants entered into a strict combination of resist Clanricarde’s demand for payment in full. Their action was of paramount importance in the agrarian history of Ireland.
The tenants entered into a common agreement to stand by one another to the end and to resist the landlord’s unjust demands.
