The discontented Irish of the county having, however, collected themselves together under the command of Rory, the brother of the Lord Maguire, they proceeded to the castle on the 24th of December; and having commanded the Lady Hume and the other persons within it to surrender, it was given up to them on a promise of

TULLY, or CoGLANSTOWN, a parish, partly in the barony of Kilcullen, but chiefly in that of East Ophaly, co. Kildare, Leinster. It consists of four mutually detached districts, the most easterly or south-easterly of which is in the barony of Kilcullen, while all the others are in the barony of East Ophaly. Distance of the first district from the town of Kildare, of a mile south by east ; length, south-southwestward, 24; breadth, from to 23.

Pop. of the Ophaly districts, in 1831, 811; in 1841, 975. Houses 146. The first district contains Tully-house, the ruins of a church, and a considerable portion of Maddenstown bog. The second district consists of a main portion of the group of trappean uplands called the Redhills. The third district contains Rathbride-house, Erindale, Rosmore-lodge, and a graveyard. The fourth district contains Newpark-house, a graveyard, and an old castle. This parish is a wholly appropriate rectory and vicarage, in the dio. of Kildare. The tithes belong to the see of Kildare. In 1834, the Protestants amounted to 36, and the Roman Catholics to 1,053; and there was neither church, chapel, nor school.

TULLY, a small bay and an old castle in the parish of Innismacsaint, barony of Magheraboy, co. Fermanagh, Ulster. The bay projects half-a-mile westward from Lower Lough Erne, with a breadth which gradually diminishes from a mile to 1 furlong; and its head is situated scarcely a mile east of the village of Church-hill. The castle stands on a broad promontory which invades the shore-line of Lough Erne immediately north of the bay; but it is distant about of a mile north-north-west from the head of the bay, and about the same distance north-east of Church-hill. The breadth of Lough Erne from the shore at the castle is 24 miles eastward, 51 north-eastward, and 4 northward; and as it here spreads out its greatest expanse of water,

With the exception of the Lady Hume, and the individuals immediately belonging to her family, the whole of the persons who had so surrendered, amounting to fifteen men, and, as it is said, sixty women and children, were on the following day stripped and deprived of their goods, and inhumanly massacred, when also the castle was pillaged, burnt, and left in ruins.

TULLY, a hamlet in the parish of Ballinakill, barony of Ballinahinch, co. Galway, Connaught. It stands in a singularly secluded situation, 1 mile south-east of Renvyle-house, 1 north of the upper part of Ballinakill Harbour, and 12 north-north-east of Clifden. A road leads direct to Tully and Renvyle from Galway and Oughterard, through one of the wildest and most sublime portions of Cunnemara, disclosing some of the most magnificent scenery of the western highlands of the kingdom, and, in particular, sweeping round the eastern and northern bases of Binabola or the Twelve Pins, and commanding close views of the ravines, the stupendous fissures, the glens, the impending cliffs, the frowning escarpments, and the soaring pinnacles of that grandly alpine group of mountains. A clean little inn has been fitted up at Tully by Mr. Blake, for the accommodation of tourists. The hamlet stands on the summit of a hill, whence a prolonged slope of land, which might easily be made arable, falls gradually off to the sea; it contains a National school, and a constabulary barrack; a little to the south of it stands a Roman Catholic chapel; and adjacent to it on the west lies Tully lake, about 4 of a mile in length. The character of the surrounding scenery, or of that which occurs in the approaches to Tully, is noticed in the articles on RENVYLE, SALRUC, LEENANE, KILLERY, BINABOLA, and CUNNEMARA: which see.

TULLYALLEN, a parish, partly in the barony of Upper Slane, co. Meath, but chiefly in the barony of Ferrard, co. Louth, Leinster. The Louth section contains part of the town of DROGHEDA: which see. Length of the Meath section, south-south-westward, 14 mile; extreme breadth, 13; area, 949 acres, 3 roods, 11 perches. Length of the main body of the Louth section, east-south-eastward, 4 miles; breadth, from to 34 miles; area, 7,344 acres, 22 perches,of which 953 acres, 11 perches form the detached townland of Newtown-Stalaban, situated a little to the east of Drogheda, and 84 acres, 2 perches are tideway of the river Boyne. Pop. of the whole, in 1831, 3,399; in 1841, 4,642. Houses 873. Pop. of the Meath section, in 1841, 130. Houses 23. Pop. of the rural districts of the Louth section, in 1841, 3,473. Houses 648. The narrowest part of the main body of the Louth section is at the east end, and contains the portion of the town of Drogheda; and the broadest part is very nearly at the west end. The rivulet Mattock separates the Louth section from the Meath section, and afterwards traces the western and the southern boundary of the former down to its confluence with the river Boyne; and that noble and majestic stream thence traces all the remainder of the southern boundary of both the main body and the detached district. The surface of the parish is pleasantly though not boldly diversified, and presents a large aggregate of beauty, both in natural feature, and in artificial decoration. Louth-Hill, overlooking the east bank of the Mattock, has an altitude above sea-level of 399 feet. The banks of the Boyne are charmingly featured; and boast here the possession of the ground on which the celebrated battle of the Boyne was commenced, and of the obelisk which was erected to commemorate that great event, and which indicates the place where the army of King William crossed the river. See BOYNE. In the vicinity of the obelisk are the spot where Duke Schomberg was killed, a spot called King William's glen, and various minute localities identified in record or by tradition with some memorable scenes or incidents of the battle of European liberty. On the east bank of the Mattock are the interesting ruins of the abbey of Mellifont and the chapel of St. Bernard. See MELLIFONT. The village of Tullyallen stands 24 miles north-west by west of Drogheda, on the road thence to Kells; and the church stands about 7 furlongs west of the vil

The Census of 1831 does not notice the Meath section.

TULLYBRACKEY, or TULLABRACCA, a parish in the baronies of Coshma and Small County, 24 miles north by east of Bruff, co. Limerick, Munster. Length, 24 miles; breadth, 14. Area of the Coshma section, 2,045 acres; of the Small County section, 1,164 acres. Pop. of the whole, in 1831, according to the Census, 1,437, but according to the Ecclesiastical Authorities, 1,774; in 1841, 1,473. Houses 248. Pop. of the Coshma section, in 1831, 784; in 1841, 963. Houses 165. About one-fourth of the surface consists, in the aggregate, of rather indifferent land; but all the remainder consists of prime land. The road from Bruff to Limerick passes through the interior. On the west side of that road is Cahirhouse; and adjoining Cahir is Rockbarton, the fine seat of Viscount Guillamore. The grounds of Cahir contain some interesting ruins; its vicinity contains the ruins of Glenogra-castle; and the whole parish is a prominent southern portion of the circular section of rich plain, profusely sprinkled with rare and curious objects of antiquarian interest, and surrounding the romantic waters of Lough Gur. See GUR. This parish is a rectory, a prebend, and a separate benefice, in the dio. of Limerick. Tithe composition, £280 10s. 6d.; glebe, £159 5s. Gross income, £439 15s. 6d. ; nett, £375 ls. 5d. Patron, the diocesan. The church was built in 1819, by means partly of a gift of £1,107 13s. 104d. from the late Board of First Fruits, and partly of a donation of £1,107 13s. 101d. from Lord Guillamore. Sittings 120; attendance 25. In 1834, the Protestants amounted to 48, and the Roman Catholics to 1,803; and a pay daily school had on its books 58 boys and 22 girls.
