The Adroeate says;-We understand that
q poor tenant farmer, residing il Roles
town. in the parish Of Drom, who, like
thousands of his class throughout the coun-
try, holds his little farm of about four
acres ut the will of his landlord, is about
being elected, without any just cause what
soever. He has paid his rent punctually,
has worked steadilX in the Improvement OF
his little holding, ashort time ago he built
Il dwelling house upon it, and now he Is
threatened to be turned cut on the road
side without any crime or without any
compensation for his outlay. What ag-
gravates the painful nature of the case is,
that he has little family OF five children,
depending on his farm for support, and
should he be elected, his only resource
seems to be that of thousands of his cOun-
trymen-the poorhouse or the cmi giant
ship The Earl of Orkney is landlord.
