OBSERVATIONS.
(*) Cloghnikilty is a borough under charter of James I.
with power to hold sessions for the trial of breaches of tbe peace, and also a court of reeord for debts under £.
20.
On account of the county sessions those of the borough are seldom held.
There is a seneschal's court for debts of £.
10, and this being cheaper, our record court is not often employed.
The persons confined within the last jear as criminals, have been for trifling offences, such as drunkenness, petty broils, and liberated on bail; most of those arrested for debt, settled with their creditors, and there are now no prisoners.
137-
fe) No allowance for fire or candles or straw.
Debtors only remain in tili they can be sent forward to county gaol; no account kept of the numbers; no regula-tions save those required by law, and no deviation charged to have been com-mitted.
(ft) This is part of the Skibbereen bridewell, part belonging to the county ahd part to the manor; no possibility of classing as there is but one apartment; debtors only are committed to this part by writ of the seneschal; 110 regulations save those required by law, and no deviation charged to have been committed.
