County Fermanagh
Fermanagh, an inland county in Ulster province.
Greatest length, N. W. and S. E., 45 miles; greatest breadth, N. E. S. W.,
29 miles; comprising an area of 714 square miles, or 457,195 acres, of which
289,228 are arable, 114,847 uncultivated, 6,155 in plantations, 210 in towns
and 46,755 under water. Lough erne, its most attractive feature,
extends from one extremity to the other for forty-five miles in a N. W.
direction, it bisects the county and is divided into Upper and Lower.
The Upper extends from Wattle-bridge to Enniskillen; the Lower from
Enniskillen to Rosscor, where its waters are contracted and form the River
Erne, which extends to the County Donegal and falls into the sea at
BallyShannon. It is navigable through its whole extent to the fall at
Belleek, within three miles of Ballshannon; and a steamer of 20 horse power
plies between Enniskillen and the Ulster canal at Wattle-bridge. The
soil is variable heavy and retentive of moisture, light and friable and
moorish. Coal and iron ore are found in small quantities and there is
sand and limestone in abundance. The trade in butter is considerable;
and the linen manufacture, of a coarse description, chiefly for domestic
use, is carried on to a small extent. The population in 1841 was
156,481, and in 1851, 116,007, being a decrease of 40,474. It is
chiefly in Clogher diocese, with a small portion in that of Kilmore.
The only large town in Enniskillen. The county returns three members
to Parliament - two for the county; constituency in 1859, 4,672; and one for
Enniskillen borough, constituency, 234. The Assizes are held in
Enniskillen, where the County Prison is. Quarter Sessions are held at
Enniskillen and Newtownbutler; Petty Sessions in twelve places.
The County Infirmary is in Enniskillen; and the District Lunatic Asylum, to
which the county is entitled to send twenty-one patients, is at Omagh,
County Tyrone. The Union Workhouses are at Enniskillen, Lisnaskea and
Lowtherstown. There are barrack stations at Enniskillen and Belleek.
The head quarters of the Constabulary force, consisting of 191 men, officers
included, are at Enniskillen; those of the five districts, comprising
twenty-five stations, are at Enniskillen, Derrygonnelly, Kesh and Lisnaskea.
