LIMERICK. 3 



Pery, from Mr. Pery, the fpeaker, who owns 

 a confiderable part of the city, and reprefents 

 it in parliament, is well built. The houfes 

 are new ones, of brick, large and in right 

 lines. There is a communication with the 

 reft of the town by a handfome bridge of three 

 large arches, erected at Mr. Pery's expenfe. 

 Here are docks, quays, and a cuftom-houfe, 

 which is a good building, faces the river, and 

 on the oppofite banks is a large quadrangular 

 one, thehoufe of induftry. This part of Li- 

 merick is very chearful and agreeable, and 

 carries all the marks of a flourifhing place. 



The exports of this port are beef, pork, 

 butter, hides, and rape-feed. The imports 

 are rum, fugar, timber, tobacco, wines, coals, 

 bark, fait, &c. The cuftoms and excife, about 

 1 6 years ago, amounted to 16,000!. at prefent 

 32,000!. and rather more four or five years ago.
