It will be observed that a very considerable number in this District, male and female, are Hand Loom Weavers and are generally marked Linen Hand Loom Weaver. This however is mostly accidental as Cotton it is believed would be preferred if ( ? ) of Cotton could be procured. They are however thankful for work? of any description.

It may also be observed that two young men from this District and one from the 3rd District have within these two months left their native land for the States of America.

I have not by me any record as to the number of distinct families in June 1831, but as the Militia List was renewed that year in January, I find that the number of distinct families was then . . . 348.
