Of a lower class than the tenant farmers were the Irish labourers, and it was evident from the first that all of these could not be expelled. It was arranged that a quarter of the labourers on each estate should be allowed to remain, on condition that they taught their children English and brought them up as Protestants. This regulation was, however, not enforced. The planters showed themselves quite indifferent as to the creed professed or the language spoken by those who ploughed their fields and reaped their corn. Instead of the children of the labourers learning English, the children of the newcomers learned Irish, and what changes of religion took place were generally in the same direction.
