216 MONKSTOW N. above twenty years ago. Monkstown is near the harbour of Cork, over against the Cove. From Monkstown we see the Island of Halleboling, Spike Island, &c. There is no tythe paid, nor allowance made to any clergyman out of this parish; 'tis pretended by the inhabitants 'tis tythe-free; the tythes are set together with the lands to the tenants. The people of this and the adjacent parishes go to Carickoline Church-viz., those of Barnehely and Kilmurry. No glebe in this parish. The lands of this parish belonged to the Abby of St. Catherine's, of Waterford. Colonel Hunks had these lands in Cromwell's time . Hunks was supposed to be concerned in the murther of King Charles I.; he sold them to Primate Boyle before the Court of Claims, who made good Hunks his title in the Court of Claims. He gave about £400 for it to Hunks. The same person is Popish Priest of this parish and Carickoline, Kilmurry, and Templebredy, and Barnahely, and Ringskiddy. 'T is alledg'd in these parts that Abby lands pay no tythe. The tythes of this parish have been set formerly for above £20 per an.; they are now worth £20 per an.
