Landowners in Ireland,
Prof. King, in his recent book ov Ireland,
says >
“Of the 20,157 acres of land in Ireland,
twenty millions are owned by less than 20,000
persons. The small remnant is divided {among
less than 50,000, of whom 36,000 o

acres, about one-half are owned ersODs

It is believed by many Irish patriots tbat ab-

Mr. King confirms the statement so often
made by the editor of Redpath’s Illustrated
Weekly that in some districts on the west
roast you will find tenants that would hav
nothing whatever left of the produce of their
holdings after paying t their rents.
Of the small tenants it was estimated in
1880 that 140,000 were bankrupt, and durip
the discnasion on the Arrears oe Rent Bild
was acknowledged that not far from 200,000
would need relief in order to clear off their
accrued indebtedness.
