Mr.. John Srnithwick of Kilkenny has
served writs for rent on three of his
tenants at ttoresbridge. viz: Mr.. Fat

ponahoe, Ballyellin, and Mrs. Walsh

their land very much rackrented, asked
the landlord for reduction CT thirty
Der cent, and bound themselves not to
accept lesser sum. An offer of fifteen
per cent. and subsequently Of twenty
five per cent was made; but the ten
ants, believing that anything less than
their original demands, would not
bring their rents to far standard, re.

to pay. They have further pledged
themselves, in the event Of writs being
executed, net to accept any terms until
those against whom proceedings are
being taken are first settled with. The
Sisters of ST. Brigid are tenants on the
estate, and have been threatened with
legal proceedings.
