Show A Tyrannical Landlord. According to Mr. Labouchere in London Lon-don Truth, the Duke of Beaufort, one of the most tyrannous of the landlords of England, assumes to dictate all th6 affairs of the town of Stoke-Gifford His grace took objection to the election of Admiral Close as a churchwarden and served notices to quit on the tenant farmers who voted for him. The duke afterward announced that he would withdraw the notices only on condition that the admiral resigned. In order that the farmers should not suffer, the admiral admi-ral did resign. It now appears that Admiral Ad-miral Close himself was a tenant of the duke, and he also received a notice to quit his house, which has just expired. He has practically been evicted because he was chosen churchwarden without ducal approval |
