THE STATE AND THE LANDED ESTATE: ORDER AND SHIFTING POWER RELATIONS IN IRELAND 1815-1891 The thesis is submitted to the National University of Ireland, Galway for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in the College of Arts and Humanities and the Moore Institute for Research in the Humanities and Social Studies Joanne McEntee, B.sc., B.A. September, 2012 Department of History School of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies National University of Ireland, Galway Supervisor: Dr. John Cunningham Texts, Contexts, Cultures Project Leader: Professor Gearóid Ó Tuathaigh SUMMARY OF CONTENTS The landed estate was a pivotal force in the construction of ‘order’ within its hinterlands in nineteenth century Ireland. The rules of the estate functioned beyond estate walls, affecting the lives of the tenantry politically, socially, economically, and culturally. This study has revealed how landlord-tenant relations were more complex than has hitherto been recognised. It has also shown how this relationship was significantly altered as the modernised and centralised state began to assert itself more forcefully through increased rules and regulations. Grounded in six case-studies, this research examined relations on estates located in the provinces of Ulster and Connacht. The estates were selected according to a series of sample criteria including, location, size, religious composition, estate acquisition, landlord and agent profile, and access to estate papers. Through a consideration of rental, social, legal, educational, and religious relations between estate authorities, tenants, and government officials, the research examined the evolution of order on Irish estates from 1815 to 1891. This research argued that the Act of Union of 1800 marked a watershed in power relations in Ireland. Through increasing centralising tendencies, the government succeeded in modifying landlord-tenant relations. Formerly operating from a quasi-feudalistic framework based on privilege and reciprocal obligations, a series of legislative initiatives from government – often heavily influenced by contemporary ideologies such as utilitarianism, evangelicalism and political economy – repositioned estate relations within a legal framework, which redefined traditional rights. This development had significant consequences for the order of Irish landed estates CONTENTS Declaration iii Acknowledgements iv Abbreviations vi Introduction ‘Live and let live’: The power and privilege of the landed class 1 I Ancien régime ESTATE RELATIONS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT, 1815-1891 1.

  • British Royal Banners 1199–Present
    British Royal Banners 1199 – Present Geoff Parsons & Michael Faul Abstract The presentation begins with the (accepted) date of 1199, the death of King Richard I, the first king known to have used the three gold lions on red. It continues to show how King Edward III added the French Royal Arms, consequent to his claim to the French throne. There is then the change from “France Ancient” to “France Modern” by King Henry IV in 1405, which set the pattern of the arms and the standard for the next 198 years. The story then proceeds to show how, over the ensuing 234 years, there were no fewer than six versions of the standard until the adoption of the present pattern in 1837. The presentation includes pictures of all the designs, noting that, in the early stages, the arms appeared more often as a surcoat than a flag. There is also some anecdotal information regarding the various patterns.

Although we often refer to these flags as Royal Standards, strictly speaking, they are not standard but heraldic banners which are based on the Coats of Arms of the British Monarchs.

Letters are arranged according to year and date. 1 Introduction Henry, Augustine (1857–1930), botanical collector and dendrologist, was born on 2 July 1857 in Dundee, the first of six children of Bernard Henry (c.1825–1891) and Mary MacNamee. His father, at one time a gold-prospector in California and Australia, was a native of the townland of Tyanee on the west bank of the River Bann in co. Londonderry. Soon after Austin (as Augustine was called within his family) was born, the family moved to Cookstown, co. Tyrone, where his father was in business as a flax dealer and owned a grocery shop. Henry was educated at Cookstown Academy and in Queen's College, Galway. He studied natural sciences and philosophy, graduating with a first-class bachelor of arts degree and a gold medal in 1877. Henry then studied medicine at Queen's College, Belfast, where he obtained his master of arts degree in 1878. For a year he was in the London Hospital, and during a visit to Belfast in 1879, at the suggestion of one of his professors, he applied for a medical post in the Chinese imperial maritime customs service. Henry completed his medical studies as rapidly as he could, became a licentiate from the Royal College of Physicians in Edinburgh, passed the Chinese customs service examinations (for which he required a working knowledge of Chinese) and and left for China in the summer of 1881.

  • 1. the Damnation of Economics
    Notes 1. The Damnation of Economics 1. One example of vice-regal patronage of anti-economics is Canada’s ‘Governor General’s Award for Non-Fiction’. In 1995 this honour was bestowed upon John Raulston Saul’s anti-economic polemic The Unconscious Civilization (published in 1996). A taste of Saul’s wisdom: ‘Over the last quarter-century economics has raised itself to the level of a scientific profession and more or less foisted a Nobel Prize in its own honour onto the Nobel committee thanks to annual financing from a bank. Yet over the same 25 years, economics has been spectacularly unsuc- cessful in its attempts to apply its models and theories to the reality of our civili- sation’ (Saul 1996, p. 4). See Pusey (1991) and Cox (1995) for examples of patronage of anti-economics by Research Councils and Broadcasting Corporations. 2. Another example of economists’ ‘stillness’: the economists of 1860 did not join the numerous editorial rebukes of Ruskin’s anti-economics tracts (Anthony, 1983). 3. The anti-economist is not to be contrasted with the economist. An economist (that is, a person with a specialist knowledge of economics) may be an anti- economist. The true obverse of anti-economist is ‘philo-economist’: someone who holds that economics is a boon. 4. One may think of economics as a disease (as the anti-economist does), or one may think of economics as diseased. Mark Blaug: ‘Modern economics is “sick” . To para- phrase the title of a popular British musical: “No Reality, Please. We’re Economists”’ (Blaug 1998, p.

  • Absentee Landlord” Beast
    The Resurgence of the “Absentee Landlord” Beast By Philip A Farruggio Region: USA Global Research, August 05, 2019 Theme: Global Economy No politician from either of the Two Party/One Party imbroglio will ever mention anything about this Absentee Landlord disgrace. Sadly, absentee landlords have been with us since time in memoriam. These people were even mentioned in the story of Jesus in the New Testament. It seems everybody just accepts that people have a right to own property and rent it out to others who are in need of shelter. Making a profit on someone else’s critical want of a place to live is what ‘Makes Amerika Great Again’, right? No, wrong! This writer, before finally being able to afford my own home at the age of 45, always lived under the thumb of a landlord. For God’s sake, even the term Landlord comes straight out of Feudalism! The lord of the manor rented out parcels of his land to house the serfs who worked his property, or in some cases his coal mine (See the great 1993 Claude Berri film Germinal). In the fine 1987 John Sayles’ filmMatawan , practically the whole town of Matawan WV was owned by the coal company, and the miners all lived in cheaply built rental housing owned by the company. To add insult to this economic injury, they were logistically forced to shop at company stores using company script to purchase necessities at too high prices. Such is how feudalism operated, always, in the case of Matawan, under the guise of a ‘free market’ for labor.

  • Landlords at the Margins: Exploring the Dynamics of the One to Four Unit Rental Housing Industry Alan Mallach March 2007 RR07-15
    Joint Center for Housing Studies Harvard University Landlords at the Margins: Exploring the Dynamics of the One To Four Unit Rental Housing Industry Alan Mallach March 2007 RR07-15 Prepared for Revisiting Rental Housing: A National Policy Summit November 2006 © by Alan Mallach. All rights reserved. Short sections of text, not to exceed two paragraphs may be quoted without explicit permission provided that full credit, including © notice, is given to the source. Any opinions expressed are those of the author and not those of the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University or of any of the persons or organizations providing support to the Joint Center for Housing Studies. Abstract There are 18 million units in one to four unit rental housing properties in the United States, making up half of the nation’s rental housing stock, yet this sector of the rental housing industry has been largely neglected both by researchers and by policy-makers. This housing stock is particularly important as a resource for low and moderate income households in cities and older suburbs, and in areas of high immigration, such as northern New Jersey. After an overview of the one to four unit rental inventory nationally, and a closer look at a cluster of New Jersey cities, we examine the characteristics of the owners of this stock, their investment strategies, management and tenant selection decisions, financing options, and their relationships with governmental agencies. We find that there are wide variations within the sector, particularly between three distinct housing subtypes: single family detached, single family attached, and two to four family properties.
