AGENTS AND MIDDLE-MEN. 229 for him, which is, perhaps, the least objectionable method, taken as a whole, by the absentee proprietor. But cases are not wanting of their faithlessness, both to their em- ployers and the tenants. I have had the most undoubted proofs of the most wicked and inhuman treatment of these task-masters, in numberless instances ; and there are not wanting evidences of their treachery and dishonesty to the landlords themselves. On large estates, numerous sub- agents are... employed, who increase the miseries, and feel less compunction, inasmuch as they feel less responsibility.* The dishonesty and knavery of the agents are bad enough, heaven knows ; but it is not half equal to the oppressions of the " middle-men," as they are called.
