EVICTED! One of the most distessing features of the English rule in Ireland has been the prevalence of "tenants-at-will" - that is, tenants who have no leases, and who occupy their farms at the pleasure of the landloard. This unfortunate class of people can be evicted whether they pay their rent properly or otherwise, and the landlord has the power to raise the rent at any time that may suit his purpose.
