On sept. IA Joseph kavanagh, large
farmer. was evicted from his holdings
at Ballynaggan. near Castledermott, at
the suit of the Irish Land Commission.
The estate upon which Kavanagh's
farm is situated was sold in 1905 when
the tenants. with the one exception of
the man now evicted, became proprie-
tors of their holdings. Kavanagh, how
ever. refused to sign the agreement to
purchase. owing, it is alleged, to be-
lief on his part that there was some
flaw in the title, and although under
the operations of the Land Purchase
Act forced to become a purchaser. he
has persistently refused to pay the
annuities and some time since his stock
were seized in satisfaction of decree.
The tenant is not insolvent and his
eviction was carried out as the result
of his refusal to recognize the Irish
Land Commission as having any claims
whatever upon him
