TENANT-LANDLORDS IN
IRELAND.
TO 7'IlE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I have but just seen in your paper of yes-
terday an admirable letter signed "S." The writer ap-
pears to be one of the few Englishmen who know or
care about Ireland. He deprecates the tyranny of
frieze-coated farmers and urges an improvement or
remodelling of the con-acre system, so as to enlist the
cotters against Captain Rock. The Irish have a re-
markable love of justice, and much of that passionate
justice which is called generosity, but their resent-
ment of the smallest detriment to themselves is ex-
treme. Many years ago a poor woman called on the
head landlord of her frieze-coated landlord ; the
latter, being liable to ejectment for resolute non-
payment of rent after five years rent had been for-
given, was proceeding to eject all his cotters. The
head landlord said to the woman he was sorry he
could not interfere. By some accident, be sent for
her back, and asked her how much rent she owed.
After many excuses she confessed it was as much as
half-a-crown. The head landlord offered to pay that
much, and something more. The poor woman dropped
on her knees and offered up a prayer, which seemed
to pierce the clouds, in favour of the person who had
consented to pay the half-crown, for nhi ch she walked
sixteen Irish miles and back. Here is a fact stranger
than fiction. Your excellent correspondent is aware
that he must reduce his plan to system, and point out
not only what is to be done, but who is to do it. For
such purposes there are no green board tables, no
prospectuses to be printed, no provisional committees,
no permanent body of men interested in doing right.
Dii facienles adjuvant—but " whoever freely takes up
the cause of the wretched is left to feel the grievous
pressure of the brethren. The obstinate folly of those
h would fain serve, the apathy, the sinister opposi-
tion of professed coadjutors, the dangerous hostility
of profligate power—and, above all, the secret mis-
givings of an exhausted spirit."
I have the honour to be, Sir, &c.,
Oct. 22.
