reduction Sir Roger Palmer is generally con-
sidered good landlord He refused to reduce
the rents because they are already as low the
government valuation of the holdings, and also
because he was convinced that the tenants,
being able to pay, had been melted by the agi-
tators to refuse. Their refusal has been trium-
ton. fortnight ago several of the delin-
quents were served with legal processes,
which showed the tenants the uselessness of de-
ferring payment any longer. The result is that
rents coming in rapidly.
THE LATEST OUTRAGE.
Many outrages have taken place on this and
other estates in county Mayo, which the local cor
respondents of Irish papers carefully suppress.
The latest occurred yesternight one of the
estates of Sir Roger Palmer, whose agent, a few
days ago, in exhorting the tenants to pay their
rent, told them thatal Sir Rogers poorest tenants
paid, while only those who were well to do
refused. The result was that yesternight
Widow Murray, one Of the poorest tenants,
who was supposed to be among those who had
paid, had straw rick and stack of oats
burned, which were worth f1O and were equal
to nearly three years rent. Threatening letters
have been received constantly by the landlords
agents, but it is believed that in the end most
rents will be paid.
