The remaining class, whose fate elicited most sympathy was that of the small holders—whether tenants or freeholders _ who worked the land on traditional methods, and lived on the produce. They were regarded as the backbone of the country; but their cultivation was apt to be slovenly? and there were difficulties in allowing it to continue side by side with the improvements which more adventurous men were making on their estates.
