Lord Norbury, through his agent, Major Studdert, gave his Noard and Two-Mile-Borris tenantry 20%. Lord Orkney, to his Killiney and Laffan's Folly tenantry, 15%.

Lady Helena Burnett gave, through her agent Major Maunsell, a reduction of 35% to her Ballinahow tenantry. The Messrs.

Captain Saunders gave a reduction of 20% to the tenants on the Erasmus Smith property in Drombane. Mr. Maher Dungarvan, gave a reduction of 30% to his Lisaroon tenantry.

O'Brien, J.P. gave his Clekile tenantry 25%. Mr. David Clancy, Clonmel, a most popular Landlord, gave a general reduction of 20% to his Ballycurrane, Canmons, and Seskin tenantry, but in some individual cases, where it had been shown that that abatement was not sufficient, he gave as much as 40%. On the Dame Stannix property, Major Gabbot, the received offered 20%, but the tenants declined to accept it, (pending an appeal to the Judge), as they do not consider it sufficient. The tenants of Mr. John Trant, Dovea, a gentleman who has some thousands of acres on his own hands, called on him the other day to pay their rents, and on asking for an abatement were refused. Some of the tenants were afterwards obliged to sell their cattle to his steward in order to make up the full amount of the rent.
