Sir Thomas Ashe, Knt., and his brother John, 750 acres in
the Barony of Tullaghgarvy, are building a bawn of sods and
earth with a good large ditch at a place called Dromhyle,
and intend to draw water from the lough adjoining to

the same;
have drawn a watercourse two miles long

but done nothing. Captain Hugh Colme and Walter Talbot,
1,500 acres as servitors, have built a strong timber house and

Natives of co. Cavan.-Melmore Oge O'Relly and his mother the Lady Katherin Ny Neale, have removed to Ballyne Carge assigned them for their portion. Hugh McShane O'Relly removed to his portion, and is building a mill. Melmore McPhillip O'Relly removed, and is building a house. McBrady and Connor McShane Roe Brady, removed to their proportions. Melmore McHugh Conolagh O'Relly dwelling on the land he had before, and given him on the last division. McKyernan removed to his portion, and about building a house. Bryan Echoghe McOwen removed to his proportion. Phillip McTyrlo Brady is about to remove. Magauran had his own land given him on this division. Rest of the natives that had land assigned in that co. are not yet removed.

The servitors being charged by us with backwardness in having done so little, answered for the most part that they had not taken out their patents until the end of Candlemass term last, and that by reason the British do yet retain natives (who ought to be their tenants) they are disabled to put things forward as otherwise they would, but they will go roundly in hand with their works this next spring as they have promised us.

"It is to be remembered that, whereas the inequality of precincts in each county will not admit an equality of division among the British, and that the precincts cannot conveniently be broken, that what is wanting in one county shall be added in another."

Total precincts, 27; total proportions, 216; total acres, 286,282.

The Britons proportion is sesqui altera, or one and a half to the portion jointly allotted to the servitors and natives and 7,500, which surplusage is allowed to avoid the breaking of the precincts; and the portions of natives being severed from the servitors is sesqui altera, or one and half to the proportion of the servitors.
