    3. Nationalist, January 1921. Result of arbitration dealing with the dispute concerning the "Quaker's Farm" Killeshin. I find that Mr. John Whelan purchased the Quaker's farm bona fide in the open market nearly 20 years ago, and that he had an absolute right to sell same. I Feb. 1919 Mr. Whelan advertised the "Quaker's farm" for sale , Mr. John McDonald offered £7,000 and the lands were sold to him. I find that Mr. Mc Donald is in strict justice entitled to the possession , use and occopation of said lands. Mr. McDonald might have from patriotic or philantropic motives abstained from purchasing the farm, and the people of Killeshin might have acquired these lands in that case.
