The ^landlords of Ireland are comparatively few in number, and many hold large estates. The tenants are numerous, their farms are small/ one-half the holdings are under fifteen acres. Nearly half the area of the island is owned by 750 proprietors, each enjoying upwards of 5,000 acres. Many large estates unfortunately illustrate the evils of subdivided tenancies too small to furnish decent subsistence for their holders. In the poor county of Mayo, for example, nine owners hold upwards of 20,000 acres, or together half a million acres, being considerably more than one-third of the county. At the opposite extremity of the social scale, with few intermediate connecting links, are half a million small occupiers, half of whom pay on an average 6/. of annual rent. The land map of Ireland, officially prepared for the Dooms- day Book, and reproduced at the beginning of this volume, presents the number of owners of upwards of one acre in each B % — , INTRODUCTORY. county, the names of the landlords of the largest domains, with the number of statute acres which they hold in each county. The peasant and yeoman owners possessing from ten to 500 acres—a very important class, on whom should depend much of the agricultural prosperity and social stability of the country—are few and scattered. Although the land sales under the Church Act of 1869 have added about 6,000 new owners, and those under the Bright's clauses of the Land Act of 1870 have contributed 710, the total roll of peasant and yeoman proprietors hold amongst them only one-eighth of the area of their country. In England this useful class of owners hold one-third of the land. The subjoined tables from the Doomsday Book, and from returns presented to the House of Commons, August 10, 1876, furnish the number of owners in Ireland, classified ac- cording to their different acreages, with the area held by each class : Owners Extent in statute acres Less than r acre 36.144 9.065 1 and under 10 acres 6,892 28,968 TO 50 -. 7.746 195.525 5o 1 100 ,, 3-479 250. 147 100 5°o ». 7.989 1.955.536 500 ,, 1,000 ,, 2,716 1,915,528 1,000 ,, 2,003 ,, 1,803 2.514.743 2,000 ,, 5,000 ,, 1,198 3,675,267 5,000 ,, 10,000 ,, 452 3,154,628 , , 10,000 , 20, OOO 185 2.478,493 20,000 ,, 50,000 ,, 90 2.558.850 50,000 ,, IOO.OOO ,, 14 1,023,677 100,000 and upwards 3 397.079 68,711 20,157,511 Landlords, tenants, and labourers, it has hitherto been believed, have many interests in common. Recently, how- ever, in various parts of Ireland their interests appear to AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. have become seriously dislocated. They are disposed to array themselves in unfriendly antagonism. Capital and labour are unprofitably at variance. (Several untoward seasons, bad crops, and low prices of some articles of pro- duce have caused much widespread agricultural distress.) As in Great Britain, many farmers have been entirely ruined. It is generally -believed that 140,000 tenants, or one-fifth of the whole number, in Ireland are bankrupt Many farms, in consequence, are worse cultivated or stocked than for- profits still merly ; become further reduced ; the tenants' ability to pay rents and other dues is impaired. Credit, often too readily obtained in more prosperous time's, is shortened. Repayments of old obligations are insisted upon. Without money, without credit, stranded, as it were, and almost disheartened, many farmers and their friends anxiously inquire into the causes of these difficulties and disasters. Many and varied are the causes propounded. With half the population of Ireland deriving their livelihood from the soil, and more than half her income drawn from land, without the extensive diversified industrial resources of England or Scotland, the recent agricultural depression has told very seriously throughout Ireland.^ Landlords are blamed for absenteeism, for neglecting their duties, foi allowing great portions of their estates to remain in unpro- fitable waste, for putting forth small effort to assist, guide, or elevate their tenants/ for charging more than Griffith's valuation. Relatively to their number, it may, however, fairly be said that there are in Ireland as many good and improving landlords as there are good and improving tenants. Occupiers are blamed for apathy, idleness, and b2 INTRODUCTORY. neglect of their opportunities. Many for years, with good security, have held useful land, which has not been drained, or has been tilled only in a very perfunctory manner. The State is blamed for supinely allowing large tracts of land in many parts of Ireland to remain in comparative waste, while a considerable proportion of the cultivated area is, more- over, very indifferently managed. Some of the legislative measures adopted for the relief of Irish agricultural distress have not worked as successfully as might have been an- ticipated. Not all the new landlords created under the Encumbered Estates Court have been improvements on those they superseded. The Land Act of 1870 has not ful- filled all the good expected from it. It has tended to paralyse landlords' improvements, and has not sufficiently encouraged or protected tenants' improvements. In har- mony with Irish traditions it wisely recognises the posses- sory interest of the tenant. When paying less than 50/. of yearly rent, he is awarded compensation if he is wrong- fully disturbed. To establish his claims he is, however, driven to appeal to a law court, to stand forth in antagonism to his landlord, and thus usually to destrov his chance of retaining his holding. Rather than thus run the risk of being removed, he submits to almost any advance of rent or to other arrangements detrimental to his interests. The Act is powerless even in Ulster to prevent excessive raising of rent, which, insisted on, either pauperises the tenant or practically evicts him. The fact that exorbitant advances of rent are sometimes made, and are possible, affords wide- spread material for agitation. Whilst granting compensa- tion for the disturbance of tenants paying less than 50/. of annual rent, no protection is accorded to those above that SHORTCOMINGS OF THE LAND ACT. 5 amount, who often bring to their vocation proportionately more capital and intelligence, who sometimes furnish the much-needed employment to the day-labourer and smaller tenant, and whose interests and improvements demand greater consideration and protection. As in England, want of capital intelligently used is one chief cause of agricultural failure and distress. Neverthe- less, neither landlords nor tenants take advantage of the liberally-provided facilities for borrowing money for build- ing, draining, and other improvements. Tenants generally have been more indifferent than landlords in effecting such improvements ; they have grudged the percentage, or feared an increase of rent. They are too generally disposed to adjure the State for aid, and to depend too little on their own imperfectly-used resources. Owners and occupiers alike fail to realise that no legislation can be expected in- variably to ensure the satisfactory conduct of such businesses as landowning or farming, which demand for their success- ful issue individual ability, enterprise, special knowledge, and adequate capital.

  • Convey 04 Eug. Amend 06 Aug. Final
    LAW SOCIETY CONVEYANCING HANDBOOK CHAPTER 4 LANDLORD AND TENANT LEASES OF meeting of the solicitors acting for Lending Institutions in Dublin has considered the DWELLINGHOUSES Aeffect of Section 2 of the Landlord and Tenant (Ground Rents) (No. 1) Bill 1977, having regard to the practice of leases of dwellinghouses on building estates being executed 1978 (NO.1) ACT by all parties well in advance of the completion of the houses, and being held in escrow by the lessor’s solicitors, usually to enable stamp duty on the lease to be assessed and impressed prior to completion. It was the unanimous view of the solicitors present that such a lease even though dated prior to the date of coming into force of the Act would be void under the Act if it were held in escrow at the date of the passing of the Act and then delivered to the purchasers afterwards. The meeting further considered the difficulties which would face a Lending Institution’s solicitor presented, shortly after the passing of the Act, with a lease dated prior to the date of passing of the Act, of deciding whether such a lease were void because it had been held in escrow or valid because it had been delivered prior to the passing of the Act. The view of the meeting was that a Lending Institution solicitor could not undertake the burden of making such a decision. The meeting noted that the provisions of Section 2, Sub-section (4) of the Bill which protected the position of a purchaser of a leasehold interest deemed void under Section 2, Sub-section (1), did not extend to a mortgagee and accordingly agreed that the solicitors acting for Lending Institutions would not be able to accept leases of dwellinghouses after the date of coming into force of the Act even though the leases might have been dated prior to the passing of the Act.

RIOC was created by the New York State legislature, in 1984, to take responsibility, pursuant to a General Development Plan (GDP), for the development and operation of the 147 acres comprising the former Welfare Island, located in New York City's East River. RIOC assumed the role of the New York State Urban Development Corporation as lessee under a 99-year Master Lease (running until 2068) from the City of New York. The GDP, which has been amended from time to time, provides for the development of housing, shops and community facilities for a mixed income, handicap accessible, residential neighborhood. As an island community, Roosevelt Island requires specialized operations and capital infrastructure maintenance such as an aerial tramway, comprehensive garbage compacting system and seawall improvements. RIOC supplements the very basic services provided by the City of New York, and provides specialized operations and capital improvements.

    Read the text. 1 Living history Chatsworth House has been home to the same family since 1549. In that time the house has welcomed kings and queens, prime ministers and politicians, and more recently bands and film crews. The 12th Duke of Devonshire, Peregrine Cavendish, and his wife Amanda have lived at Chatsworth since 2006. The Duke inherited the house on the death of his father in 2004. He says: ‘My family has lived here for over 450 years. The estate has been passed down the Cavendish family for 15 generations, and I now have the pleasure and responsibility to look after it for the next generation.’ Visitors often see him walking through the house and garden when it is open to the public. He says, ‘Chatsworth is a magical place, and I feel lucky to be able to share it with all of our visitors.’ Headway Pre-Intermediate Fourth Edition • Student’s Book • Unit 7 pp.58–59 © Oxford University Press PHOTOCOPIABLE 2 The most beautiful house in England Chatsworth is situated in the hills of Derbyshire, in the Midlands. Many people say it is the most beautiful house in England. It has nearly 300 rooms (with 17 staircases and 26 baths) and is set in 35,000 acres of land. It needs 500 staff to run. The art collection includes paintings by Raphael, van Dyck, and Rembrandt. The whole estate is worth about £500 million. It costs approximately £5m a year to run Chatsworth, so the house has been open to the paying public since 1949, and in 2010 there were around 600,000 visitors.

  • John Gibson and the Anglo-Italian Sculpture Market in Rome
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Loughborough University Institutional Repository John Gibson and the Anglo-Italian Sculpture Market in Rome: Letters, Sketches and Marble Alison Yarrington Tate Papers no.29 John Gibson established a hugely successful sculpture studio in Rome, and despite strong reasons to return to London, such as the cholera outbreaks in Rome in the 1830s, he remained steadfast in his allegiance to the city. His status and success in this intensely competitive environment was promoted through a sympathetic engagement with a wide variety of friends, fellow sculptors and patrons. This paper explores this method of engagement, notably through Gibson’s works for and correspondence with the 6th Duke of Devonshire. There is no place in Europe like Rome for the number of artists of different nations, there is no place where there is so much ambition of who shall produce the finest works – this concentration for fame keeps up the art and good taste. Here art is not a money making trade. You should make an effort to come here and we would go to the Vatican together.1 When John Gibson penned this letter to his friend and former fellow pupil John Barber Crouchley in early May 1837, his primary place of residence and the centre of his sculptural practice was firmly established in Rome, with his career on a firm upward trajectory towards success and recognition. By contrast, Crouchley, who had been prevented by his father from travelling abroad with Gibson when he left Liverpool in 1817, saw his ambitions as a sculptor subsequently fade.

  • Or, the Unfortunate Attachment
    Introduction beware then how you chuse, for your first preference makes your destiny Emma; or, The Unfortunate Attachment WHEN GEORGIANA SPENCER MARRIED the duke of Devonshire on June 4, 1774,1 she fulfilled her mother’s greatest hope and fear. “My dread is that she will be snatched from me before her age and experience make her by any means fit for the serious duties of a wife, a mother, or the mistress of a family,” her mother wrote in January 1774 (Masters 12). Despite her belief that she was facilitating a love-match, Lady Spencer’s prophecy proved correct. “Lady Georgiana’s marriage was one de convenance,” her niece Lady Caroline Lamb wrote with typical hyper- bole. “Her delight was hunting butterflies. The housekeeper breaking a lath over her head reconciled her to the match. She was ignorant of every- thing.”2 In fact, Lady Georgiana received an “exemplary education”3 from her mother. She was a proficient musician, poet, and writer who knew her future husband as early as 1765 and 1766, for he visited Althorp House on frequent occasions (Masters 12). The difference between Lady Georgiana and her husband is perhaps best shown by a perfunctory note the duke wrote shortly after their marriage. “I am going to sup in St. James’s Place and have sent you the carriage that you may come in it if you like it.” On the back, Lady Georgiana allowed her high spirits to overflow in verse. J’aime, je plais, je suis contente, Tout se joint pour mon bonheur.
