The castle of the Earl of Essex, part of the walls of which are still standing in the garden of W. Daniel; Esq., was leased by the Earl to Mr. Barton, whose wife and children were burnt with the castle by the insurgents of 1641 while he was attending to his parliamentary duties in Dublin, as representative of Co. Monaghan. The town is situated on the mail coach road from Dublin to Londonderry, and consists of one principal street, with some smaller sts. Branching from it, and contains some 56O houses, many of which are of a respectable appearance. A respectable retail trade is carried on with the surrounding country, and soap, candles, brouges, and coarse hats are manufactured in the town, in which there are also a tannery, a brewery employing 1OO men, and a distillery. Distillation was carried on here to a considerable extent for the Union for 2O yrs., after which it very much declined, but in 1823 a large distillery was erected which makes 200,000 gals of spirits annually, consuming in the manufacture, about 25,OOO barrels of grain, including malt, which is made in the town. The general market is held on Thurs., and one for corn on Wed. and Sat. The number of pigs exposed for sale in the market during season is very great. They are principally by dealers from Dundaulk, Newry, and Belfast for exportation. fairs are held on May 27, Jul. 1O, and Sept. 27, Nov. 9, and Dec. 1Oth. The latter, which is for fat cattle, are the largest. The market house is in the center of the Main St. It was built out of the ruins of the castle. Penny market sessions are held every alternate week, and here are a constabulary police station and a county pridewell on a small scale, which contain the necessary accommodations for the separation of prisoners. In the vicinity of the town are several lime kilns, and the land has been greatly improved by the extensive use of lime as a manure. Mr. Shirley supplies his tenants at about half the usual price from his kilns, in which about 2OOO bbls. were burnt in 1835. The principal lakes are loch Mac-na-ree, Listrontirk, Corvally, and Shantonagh Loch, only part of which is in this parish. The parish is called Magheross. Coal exists but is not presently worked. Good limestone and freestone are quarried for building."
