NEWTOWN-LIMMAVADDY. •aai 



idle, loofe, diforderly people. It is at pre- 

 fent, I was informed, too populous; and if 

 the emigrations are not renewed, the ill ef- 

 fects will be feverely felt. The whole county 

 of Derry belongs to the London companies 

 and the Bifhop, except fome trifling proper-

 hides, butter, and fillip fome meal is import- 

 ed, which founds ftrange after hearing that 

 fo many oats had been exported. 



Mr. Jackfon has made great improvements 

 to his houfe, which is fituated in a very pret- 

 ty domain of 85 acres on the banks of the ri- 

 ver, and all the timber he has ufed is out of 

 his bog; he gets very large oak and fir trees: 

 they are found 20 feet deep, and all lie exact- 

 ly eaft and weft. 



Auguft 6th, to Newtown-Limmavaddy; 

 went by Magilligan, for the fake of feeing 

 the new houfe building on the fea coaft, by 

 the bifhop of Derry, which will be a large and 

 convenient edifice, the fhell not finifhed; it

At Magilligan is a rabbit warren, which 

 yield on an average 3000 dozen per ann. 1 a it 

 year 4000 and 5000 have been known. The 

 bodies are fold at 2d. a couple; but the fkins 

 are fent to Dublin at 5s. 78. to 6s. a dozen, 

 felling from 1500I. to 1800I. a year. The
