which were rigidly enforced, forbid tenants to build houses for their labourers, ’the consequence of which was that men and women servants, no matter how great the number, must live under one roof.’  The rules forbid marriage without the agent’s permission.  A young couple got married, and were chased away to America; and ’the two fathers-in-law were not merely warned; they were punished for harbouring their son and daughter, by a fine of a gale of rent.’  It was a rule ’that no stranger be lodged or harboured in any house upon the estate, lest he should become sick or idle, or in some way chargeable upon the poor-rates.’  ’Several were warned and punished for giving lodging to a brother-in-law, a daughter,’ &c.  ’A poor widow got her daughter married without the necessary permission; she was served with a notice to quit, which was withdrawn on the payment of three gales of rent.’  Mr. Crosbie gives a number of cases of the kind.  The following are the most remarkable.  A tenant, Timothy Sullivan, of Derrynabrack, occasionally gave lodging to his sister-in-law, whilst her husband was seeking for work.  He was afraid to lodge both or either; ’but the poor woman was in low fever, and approaching her confinement.  Even under such circumstances his terror was so great that he removed her to a temporary shed on Jeremiah Sullivan’s land, where she gave birth to a child.  She remained there for some time.  When “the office” heard of it, Jeremiah Sullivan was sent for and compelled to pay a gale of rent (as fine), and to throw down the shed.  Thus driven out, and with every tenant on the estate afraid to afford her a refuge, the miserable woman went about two miles up the mountain, and, sick as she was, and so situated, took shelter in a dry cavern, in which she lived for several days.  But her presence even there was a crime, and a mulct of another gale of rent was levied off Jeremiah Sullivan.  Thus, within three weeks he was compelled to pay two gales of 3 l. 2 s. 6 d. each.  It was declared also that the mountain being the joint property of Jeremiah Sullivan, Timothy Sullivan, and Thady Sullivan, Timothy Sullivan was a participator in the crime, and should be fined a gale of rent.  The third, it appears, escaped.’  ‘S.G.O.’ narrated another horrifying case in the Times, at the period of its occurrence, in 1851.  Abridged, it runs thus:—­’An order had gone forth on the estate (a common order in Ireland) that no tenant was to admit any lodger into his house.  This was a general order.  It appears, however, that sometimes special orders were given; and one was promulgated that Denis Shea should not be harboured.  This boy had no father living.  He had lived with a grandmother, who had been turned out of her holding for harbouring him.  He had stolen a shilling, a hen—­done such things as a neglected twelve-year-old famishing child will do.  One night he came to his aunt Donoghue, who lodged with Casey.  The latter told the aunt and uncle not to allow him into
