tional information that could be furnished on the topography of the County. We feel grateful for the following particulars, which have been since communicated to us: In the Barony of Small County, and Parish of Ballynard, is Cloch a Fiolar, or Eaglestown, where are the ruins of an old Castle, formerly the residence of the Powel family, of which the present Counsellor Caleb Powel, and his brother Eyre Burton Powel, of Dublin, Esq. are reprepresentatives. About the year 1666, Giles Powel, of this family, was, with Colonel Randal Clayton, and John Croker, Esq. of Skule, County of Limerick, appointed a trustee for houses and lands in and about the town of Galway, belonging to Dominick Brown, Martin Lynch, &c. for the 49 Officers. At Cabirass, in the Parish of Croom, and Barony of Coshma, is the very handsome residence of Jeffrey Browning, Esq. pleasantly situated on the banks of the river Maigue. About a mile south of Kilmallock is Mount Coot, a fine mansion, belonging to Chidley Coot, Esq. who has considerably enlarged and new-modelled, with much taste and judgment, this ancient residence of his ancestors. The domain is highly improved and beautified by a fine sheet of water; and many extensive plantations are added to the old ones by the present proprietor, who has spared no expense rendering it a fit habitation for a man of the first rank and fortune. Chidley Coot, Esq. and the Rev. Charles Philips Coot, Rector of Doon, Diocese of Emly, are descended from Sir Philips Coot, second son of Chidley Coot of Killester, near Dublin, who was brother to Charles, the first Earl of Mountrath. For an account of Sir Aubrey de Vere Hunt's improvements at Currah, see Vol. II. p. 574. A handsome Church and Spire have been lately built in the Parish of Mungret.— See Vol. II. p. 623. JOHN NEWELL, Esq. who was High Sheriff of the County of Limerick in 1712, died at the great age of 127. He was married to a daughter of the first Captain Massy. 491, lates. 6 of note, for Woodford read Woodsdown.
