The food of the inhabitants chiefly potatoes and fish, not much oatmeal. Milk and butter pretty plenty, fuel invariably turf or peat.
Diseases are mostly of the scorbutic class.
Fevers not more prevalent than in other parts of Ulster. Inhabitants not remarkable for longevity or the contrary. From what I as yet know of them, I would say that the inhabitants are quiet, peaceable and inoffensive. There is neither lawyer, attorney, magistrate or policeman in the parish. All the inhabitants speak Irish.
