Légende

Minster Lovel, Oxfordshire, 1850. 'We understand that two or three of the allottees on the Minster Lovel estate are travelling the country soliciting subscriptions, in order to take proceedings in Chancery, to avert the threatened evictions next month. They have also published a memorial, showing..."That the soil of such allotments...was so exceedingly foul and exhausted, that your memorialists have laboriously and incessantly toiled, and have not been able to obtain therefrom a sufficiency of the commonest necessaries of subsistence. That the said Feargus O'Connor, Esq., has demanded an enormous rent of your memorialists in his own name, as landlord, thus attempting to make them his tenants at will, and the property his own, having had it conveyed to himself individually, instead of in trust for the company, with whose money the estate was purchased...".' From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
