rent But, although he got
the L50, he nevertheless suffered himself to be evicted; no doubt
fearing the vengeance of the League should he pay.

[15] The valuation for taxes of this holding is L7, 15s. for
the land, and L5 for the presbytery house. The church is exempt.

[16] Of "Dr." Tully Mr. Tener wrote to me (July 18):

"Tully has the holding at L2, 10s. a year, being 50 per cent, under
the valuation of the land for taxes, which is L3, 15s. As the total
valuation with the house (built by him) is only L4, he pays no
poor-rates. He was in arrears May 1, 1887, of three years for L7,
10s. Lord Clanricarde offered him, with others, 20 per cent,
abatement, making for him 70 per cent, under the valuation--and he
refused!"

Since then (on Saturday Sept. 1), Tully has been evicted after a
dramatic "resistance," of which, with instructive incidents attending
it, Mr. Tener sends me an account, to be found in the Appendix, Note H.

[17] Note H2.

[18] Mr. Tener writes to me (July 18):

"At Allendarragh, near the scene of Finlay's murder, Thomas Noonan,
who lately was brave enough to accept the post of process-server
vacated by that murder, was shot at on the 13th instant. It was on
the highway. He heard a heavy stone fall from a wall on the road and
turned to see what caused it. He distinctly saw two men behind the
wall with guns, and saw them fire. One shot struck a stone in the
road very near him--the other went wide. His idea is that one gun
dislodged the stone on which it had been laid for an aim, and that
its fall disturbed the aim and saved him. He fully identifies one of
the men as Henry Bowles, a nephew of 'Dr.' Tully, who lives with
Tully, and Bowles, after being arrested and examined at Woodford,
has been remanded, bail being refused, to Galway Jail. Before this
shooting Noonan had served a notice from me upon Tully, against whom
I have Judge Henn's decree for three years' rent, and whose equity
of redemption expired July 9th."

[19] I have since learned that my jarvey was well informed. Sir
Henry Burke actually paid Mr. Dillon L160 for the maintenance of his
tenants while out of their farms. This, two other landlords, Lords
Dunsandle and Westmeath, refused to do, but, like Sir Henry, they both
paid all the costs, and accepted a "League" reduction of 5s. 6d. and 6s.
in the pound (June 9, 1888).
