Description:An example of one of the many petitions sent to the estate management by the Clashmore small tenants asking for the farm land to be returned to them and that they would be willing to pay a rent for it. They offer as one of their key reasons to be granted the farm the fact that they or their predecessors were removed to make way for it in the 1870s.
