Сторінка 1123 - Ireland, the landlord builds neither dwelling-house nor farm-offices, nor puts fences, gates, &c., into good order, before he lets his land to a tenant. The cases in which a landlord does any of those things are the exceptions.
Сторінка 1122 - It is well known, that in England and Scotland, before a landlord offers a farm for letting, he finds it necessary to provide a suitable farm-house, with necessary farm buildings, for the proper management of the farm. He puts the gates and fences into good order, and he also takes upon himself a great part of the burden of keeping the buildings in repair during the term ; and the rent is fixed with reference to this state of things. Such, at least, is generally the case, although special contracts...

Сторінка 1110 - The middleman himself, who had come under rent during the same period, became equally unable to meet his engagements. All became impoverished ; the middleman parted with his interest, or under-let the little land he had hitherto retained in his own hands ; himself and his family were involved rapidly in ruin. The landlord, in many cases, was obliged to look to the occupier for his rent, or, at the expiration of the lease, found the farms covered with a pauper, and, it may be, a superabundant population.
Сторінка 1127 - Their condition is necessarily most deplorable. •' It would be impossible for language to convey an idea of the state of distress to which the ejected tenantry have been reduced, or of the disease, misery, and even vice, which they have propagated in the towns...
Сторінка 1126 - The great decline of agricultural produce prevented many of the middlemen, as well as the occupiers, from paying their rents ; an anxiety began to be felt by the proprietors, to improve the value of their estates, and a general impression was produced in the minds of all persons, that a pauper population spread over the country would go on increasing, and the value of the land at the same time diminishing, till the produce would become insufficient to maintain the resident population.
Сторінка 1152 - It would be impossible to describe adequately the privations which they and their families habitually and patiently endure. It will be seen in the evidence that in many districts their only food is the potato, their only beverage water, that their cabins are seldom a protection against the weather, that a bed or a blanket is a rare luxury, and that nearly in all their pig and their manure heap constitute their only property.
Сторінка 1148 - Commissioners, that such drainage, embankment, reclamation, or other improvement, when completed, will increase the value of such land in the proportion of at least ten per centum on the sum proposed to be expended thereon ; and that a contract with two good and sufficient sureties, to be approved of by the said Commissioners, shall be previously made and entered into for the full and complete execution of such drainage, embankment, reclaiming, or other improvement, at and for a sum not exceeding...
