EVICTION OF TENANTRY.

The TVatcrfoi d Chronicle furnishes, through its "spe-
cial reporter," the particulars of a late "clearance" on

the estate of the Marquis of Waterford, at Graigsho-
neen and Glenafoca, by which it appears that a very
considerable number of cottier tenants were dispossessed,
As to the cause of these evictions the reporter says:—
" I could not find out the reason; I asked everybody
the cause of the under-tenants being turned out, as they
owed no rent to the head landlord, and the leases of the
original holders had only expired by rumour; but I
could only get the one answer. It was feared hat the
whole place was about to be made into a farm, to be
given to either Mr. Ashburry, Mr. Dobbyn, or the
Rev. Mr. Ardagh. And there could scarcely be any
other reason. For why should any man tumble houses
d .wn, simply because the poor men were in existence?"
The reporter continues:—" I shall present your reader
with a faithful account of the numl.-3r expelled, as near as
I could collect, after much and protract d inquiry from
many sources. I shall begin with those who held
