APPENDIX.

No. 1.

The following table comprises the FINES for illicit distillation imposed on the parish of Cloncha during the years 1814 and 1815.

In consequence of the large amount of the above fines, the present incumbent has abandoned his intention of building a new church and glebe-house in the parish of Cloncha.

While this account was passing through the press, the following Report from the SELECT COMMITTEE On Illicit Distillation in Ireland, was printed by Order of the House of Commons:--

The Select Committee, appointed to enquire into the causes and extent of Illicit Distillation of Spirits in Ireland, and into the best means for the prevention thereof, and into the operation and effects of the present Laws and Regulations enacted for the suppression thereof; and who were empowered to report their observations and opinion thereupon, from time to time to the House, have considered the matters to them referred, and have come to the following Resolution :--

RESOLVED. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is inexpedient to make any alteration in the principle of the Law now in force in Ireland, imposing fines for Illicit distillation on the vicinage where the offence is committed; but, with a view of preventing, as far as possible, any hardships falling on individuals, such as may have arisen under the present operation of the Laws, that it is desirable to adopt certain modifications to obviate those difficulties in the mode of carrying the principle of the Laws above-mentioned into effect, and generally to afford relief in cases where the vicinage manifests a disposition to support those Laws.

PARISH OF

DEVNISH,

(Diocese of Clogher and County of Fermanagh.)

BY THE REV. WILLIAM FAUSSETT, CURATE.

Name.

Extent.

I. The Name of the Parish, Situation, Extent, &c.

THE parish of Devnish, so denominated from an island of the same name in Lough Erne, formerly called the Ox's island, from the Irish words "Dav," an ox, and "Inish," an island, now known by the name of Situation. Devnish, is situated in the barony of Magheraboy, county of Fermanagh, and diocese of Clogher, lying north-west of Enniskillen; from which, the parish church at Monea is five miles distant. Its length from east to west is ten miles at the least; its breadth from Boundaries north to south, three miles: it is bounded on the northwest by the parish of Innis M'Saint, on the coast by Lough Erne, which separates it from the parishes of Trory and Derryvollan; on the south by the parishes of Rossory and Bohoe; and on the west by the county of Contents. Leitrim. It contains ninety-five townlands, with other sub-divisions. The farm of Aughamuldoney, belonging

to this parish, is situated nearly a mile within that of Innis M'Saint, by which it is surrounded on all sides. It is by no means easy to give a satisfactory account of this district, which contains about 9,240 acres; Contents. six thousand of these may be considered as arable and meadow land, and the remainder pasture ground and

mountain.

:

There is but one great river in it, the Scillies, which Rivers, crosses the parish it rises in the mountains near Church hill, and proceeds principally in a southern direction for 10 miles, when it discharges itself into Lough Erne, one mile south of Enniskillen. Several Lakes. inconsiderable lakes are scattered through the parish.

Surface.

The surface is very uneven, but fertile. In the Soil and centre, there is a chain of mountains extending for four Mountains, miles, interspersed with a great variety of arable and meadow land. These mountains are of a great breadth, particularly where the parish joins Innis M'Saint; they serve as a divisional line for the curates in the discharge of their parochial duties. The principal part of the mountains affords pasture only during the dry seasons, as the soil is very soft, inclining to bog and moor: there are, however, some rich luxuriant patches of soil in some parts. Bog is scarce in that part of the Bog. parish near Enniskillen; but there is a sufficiency to be had in the other parts of the parish for the inhabitants.

II. Mines, Minerals, &c.

No mines or valuable minerals have been yet discovered. A quarry of excellent free-stone is open near Free stone.
