Ce** papers! of ?unleer Winion of $aris??)es?, 1786-92*

By Rev. Chancellor J. B. Leslie, D.Lit., M.R.I.A.

The Vestry Minute Book of Dunleer Parish having come into my possession, I think it a pity that a list of all the householders contained therein for the year 1786 should remain unpublished. It is earlier than the census of 1821 now destroyed, and the only list I know of, extant for the 18th century. Many of the names are

still represented by descendants. There are similar lists for 1788, 1789 and 1792, and I show the variations.

At the beginning of the book is a note that Rev. Thomas Foster, D.D., a former

Rector, had bequeathed a sum of ?50 for the poor of the six united parishes of

Dunleer, Drumcar, Cappoke, Moylary, Monasterboice and Dysart ; and Rev. Richard

Norris has a note saying "

I distributed said ?50 in Wheels to the young and Blankets

to the old." Is there a spinning wheel in the district to-day ?
