The following extract is taken from " Curiosities of the Search Koom " (page 1 06) : — " I give and bequeath the annual sum of £10, to be paid in perpetuity out of my estate, to the following purpose ;— lt is my will and pleasure that thia sum shall be spent in the purohase of a certain quantity of the liquor vulgarly called whisky, and it shall be publicly given out that a certain number of persons — Irish only — not to exceed 20, who may choose to assemble in the cemetery in which I shall be interred on the anniversary of my death shall have the same distributed to them. Further, it is my desire that each shall receive it by half-a-pint at a time till the whole is consumed, each being likewise provided with a stout oaken stick and knife, and that they shall drink it all on the spot. Knowing what I know of the Irish character, my conviction is that, with these materials given, they will not fail to destroy each other ; and when, in the course of time, the race comes to be exterminated, this neighborhoood at least may, perhaps, be colonized by civilized and respectable Englishmen. (17th March 1791.")
