consisted largely of Fuidhirs。
The explanation may； however； be carried beyond this point。
You will bear in mind the passage quoted by me from Hunter's
'Orissa；' which shows how a tenantry enjoying hereditary rights
is injured； even under a Government which sternly compels peace
and order； by a large immigration of cultivators dependent on the
landlord or Zemnindar。 They narrow the available waste land by
their appropriations； and； though they do not compete directly
for the anciently cultivated land with the tenants enjoying
hereditary rights； they greatly raise in the long run the
standard of rent； at the same time that they arm the landlord
with those powers of exacting it which in ancient Ireland
consisted in the strong hand of the Chief himself； and which
consist； in modern India； in the money which puts in motion the
arm of the law。 I have no doubt whatever that a great
multiplication of Fuidhir tenants would always seriously alter
for the worse the position of the tenants by Saer…stock and I
Dear…stock tenure。
