We have much pleasure in copying the following letter from the Examiner : —
TO THE EDITOR OF THE KERRY EXAMINER. Knockanure, April 13th, 1846. SIR—presuming on that, goodness. which you have always manifested when the interests of the poor called forth the advocacy of your patriotic journal, I feel satisfied that you will he proud of the occasion of this application to your columns, for the purpose of recording the just praises, and most deserved applause of two exalted characters who way he justly styled the best friends and benefactors of the poor. The gentlemen to whom I allude are Stephen Edward Collis- Esq., of Ballydonohough, and Stephen C. Sandes, Esq., of Carrigafoyle, for whom the most fervent prayers of all classes, especially the poor, have been, offered to the throne above. On the 25th of March last the lands of Clounbrean, Gortromosillihy, Tubbertoureen, Gortromogounah, and Kelad, in the parishes of Murhir and Knockanure, in this county, fell out of lease: the minds of the people were all in a ferment, lest, like other parts of the country, they should become homeless, especially the poorer classes who had no lease, but the richer sort had stronger expectations, and amongst them were known some, who, if they could, would willingly see the poor expelled from the premises. Their expectations, however, were disappointed by the usual tenderness of the gentlemen above mentioned, for before the rich tenants, about 150 in number, were reinstated in, their possession, the landlord’s man, Mr Bartholomew O’Connor, a truly benevolent man, had instructions to establish the working classes, about 230 families; in their respective dwelling, without the increase of a single farthing in their rents. It will be generally acknowledged that the people in this quarter are worthy of every encouragement, for the semblance of crime is here unknown, and the most perfect peace and harmony pervade the land.
Your kindness, Mr. Editor, in giving publicity to the above consoling facts in the column of your widely circulating journal will much oblige your very grateful servant,
JEREMIAH P. BUCKLEY.
