the corps of the prebend thereof in the cathedral of
Clogher, and in the patronage of the Bishop; the tithes

interest of the remainder for the master, &c.: there are
three other schools; in all which about 340 children
are taught. There is also a private school, in which

divided among the poor.

TYNAGH, a parish, partly in the barony of LONG-
FORD, but chiefly in that of LEITRIM, county of GAL-
WAY, and province of CONNAUGHT, 7 miles (N. W.) from
Portumna, on the road to Loughrea; containing 5670
inhabitants. It comprises 9249¼ statute acres: the
land is generally of very good quality and in a state of
profitable cultivation; the system of agriculture is much
improved, and there is no waste land. A lead mine
was formerly worked within a mile of this place; a
great deal of lead ore is still found in the neighbour-
hood. The principal seats are Pallas, the residence of
the Hon. Anthony Nugent; Killeen, of E. Kelly, Esq.;

in 1814; the glebe of the union comprises 91 acres, of
which 12 are in this parish, valued together at
£81. 9. 1½. per ann.: and the gross value of the bene-
fice, including tithe and glebe, amounts to £358. 7. 7¼.
The church is a small plain edifice, erected in 1702. In
the R. C. divisions this is a separate parish and gene-
rally appertains to the bishop of the diocese, who ap-
points a curate to perform the duty; the chapel is a
very handsome edifice. About 120 children are taught
in the parochial school, which is supported by the in-
cumbent and Lord Clancarty, who has given the school-
house and half an acre of land; and there are three
private schools, in which are about 110 children. At
Pallas, anciently called Kaltragh-ni-Pallice, are the ruins
of an ancient and strong castle; and there was former-
ly a friary, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, founded by
Birmingham, Baron of Athenry, for Carmelite or White
friars, which was granted by Queen Elizabeth to John
Rawson, Esq.
TYNAN, a post-town and parish, partly in the
barony of ARMAGH, but chiefly in that of TURANEY,
county of ARMAGH, and province of ULSTER, 6½ miles
(W. by S.) from Armagh, and 72 (N. by W.) from Dub-
lin, on the road from Armagh to Monaghan; contain-
ing with the town of Middleton and the village of Kil-
lyleagh (both separately described), 11,542 inhabitants,
of which number, 243 are in the town of Tynan. This
was formerly a parish of great extent and import-
ance: it is noticed in Pope Nicholas’s Taxation in 1291
as belonging to the Colidei or Culdees of Armagh, who
are said to have retained possession of it for some time
after the Reformation. It was united with Derrynoose
in the 14th and 15th of Chas. II., but the union was
severed by an act of the 8th of Anne, c. 13, and lately
the district parishes of Killyleagh and Middleton have
been separated from it. It contains 17,646 statute
acres, of which 80¾ are under water, being the small
lakes of Portnelligan, Houslough, and Kiltubrit, which
discharge their superfluous waters into Glaslough, in
the county of Monaghan. The soil is generally a rich
loam of considerable depth: tillage is carried on to a
great extent and under an excellent system: flax of
the best quality is grown in very large quantities. There
is no waste land; bogs were numerous, but they are
now mostly cut out or reclaimed: there are several
quarries of limestone and freestone. Though the coal
formation extends over a considerable district, little
advantage has been derived from it, as the veins hitherto
discovered are too thin to be worked with profit. Here
was formerly an extensive forest, known by the name
of the Bondville wood, consisting chiefly of oak, ash
and fir, and extending over several hundred acres, but
it was all cut away during a period in which the estate
was under litigation. At Doogary and at Belteagh are
large flour-mills. The Ulster canal, designed to con-
nect Loughs Neagh and Erne, passes through the
parish. The town, situated on an eminence, contains
40 houses; it has a dispensary, and petty sessions are
held in it every second Wednesday and at Middleton
on the alternate Wednesdays. The lands of the parish
are divided among several proprietors in fee. Ten town-
lands belong to the Provost and Fellows of Trinity
College, Dublin; eight to the trustees of Bishop Sterne’s
charities; the remainder to Lord Gosford, Lord Cale-
don, Sir James Stronge, Bart., and several others. The
