Place & story
A yearly charge and the interest on a fund
Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account of Drumcree records Roger Marley’s bequest of £30 a year for the poor, payable from a farm at Drumanally. A different bequest, made by Mrs. Johnston in 1809, provided the interest on £100 for the same purpose. These were distinct arrangements: one specified an annual sum charged on property, while the other directed investment income towards relief. [2]
