THE CORK AND MACROOM RAILWAY - The Cork and Macroom Railway, a line of twenty-four miles, starting from a junction with the Bandon Railway, one mile from the city of Cork, was formally opened last Saturday, and has been opened for traffic this week. The country through which it passes is fertile and picturesque, and must ultimately produce a large agricultural traffic. The line has been constructed by Mr. Ronayne in a most satisfactory manner. There are five intermediate stations, at which the train stops by signal. These, with their respective distances from Cork, are - Ballincollig, 6 ¾ miles; Kilumney, 9 3/8; Kilcrea, 13; Crookstown road, 17; and Dooniskey, 20 ½ miles. The length of the journey in time is one hour and a quarter. The fares are moderate, being only 3s, 2s, and 1s 6d respectively for first, second, and third class, between Cork and Macroom, with A fare and a half for first and second class return, and 2s third class return. There are three trains daily, except on Sundays, when the early train is dispensed with. The goods rates are also very reasonable. The rolling stock is of the very best description. The carriages have all been built by the Ashbury Company, of Manchester. They are all of teak-wood; roomy and convenient, well ventilated, and abundantly lighted. The engines are by Dubbs and Co., of Glasgow. All the arrangements for traffic appear satisfactory. Our illustration shows the arrival of the first train at the Macroom terminus.

MACROOM - (Bennett's History of Bandon,' 1869)
Macroom (that is the plain of Crom) was formerly spelt Macromp. Smith says the town takes its name from and old crooked tree which stood there at one time, and under the branches of which travellers used to rest themselves.
After Druidism disappeared, the bards (who were next in importance to the first Order of the Pagan priesthood) retained most of the privileges they had previously possessed; and for centuries after the introduction of Christianity they contrived to hold their assemblies here on the plain of Crom.
The town, which was probably coeval with the castle, had some new blood poured into it, when Cormac McCarthy, (He died in 1616, after being chief of the great house of McCarthy-Morre for thirty-three years.) in the reign of James the First, induced the Hardings, Kents, Goolds, Fields, and other English families to settle there.
In 1641, Donough, Lord Muskerry, who lived in Macroom Castle, was one of the most prominent leaders in the great rebellion; and upon its suppression in 1652, the town, castle, and the vast territorial estates of that nobleman, were forfeited. Upon the accession of Charles the Second, however, they were restored, and enjoyed by his descendants until the reign of William the Third, when they were again forfeited (About the year 1750 these estate were valued in £150,000 per annum; in 1796 in £200,000; and they would let at the present day for probably half-a-million sterling annually.) for the active part taken by Donough, the fourth Earl of Clancarthy in the cause of James the Second.
At the great auction of forfeited estates held in Dublin in 1703, the greater portion the Clancarthy property underwent the hammer; and on the 23rd of June in that year the Hollow Sword Blades Company purchased 55,000 acres of this estate,-including 'the town of Macroom, Tubbernacool Park, Warren Park, and the Orchard; Wholehane's tenements, several houses, cabins, shops, gardens, parts of gardens, three closes, the fairs, markets, mills, and the mile-end called Magheren; Pidgeon-house Park, Slevine; the house wherein are held the manor courts of Macroom, the guard-house in Macroom, and the market-house; together with the manor and seigniory of Macroom, the master county of Kerry and the bishop himself. The former was speedily disposed of-he was shot on the spot; but the bishop was hanged the next day at Carrigadrohid.
When General Ireton (Cromwell's son-in-law) was made lord-president of Munster, he sent some troops from Kilkenny, who burned not only the castle but the town in addition.
The year after the battle of the Boyne the English garrison in the castle were hard pressed by a body of Irish in the service of James; but on learning that Major Kirk and three hundred dragoons were marching against them, they raised the siege and made off. The castle, which consists of a vast quadrangular mass of masonry, overhangs the river Sullane, and commanded a ford which was formerly there.

PIGOT'S DIRECTORY 1824 - MACROOM - A Market, post and fair town, in the county of Cork, is one hundred and forty-two miles SW of Dublin, eighteen west of Cork, twenty-six SE of Tralee. It is pleasantly situated on the river Sullane, one of the upper branches of the Lee, and, from the proximity of bog and mountain, is well supplied with turf. It has a good weekly market, and some respectable dwelling houses; as it is eighteen miles from Cork, and as no town of any note, in this direction, is within a shorter distance, it is well situated as the centre of an extensive neighbourhood. One of the county sessions is held here, a circumstance of some advantage to the place, and of great convenience to this part of the county. The surrounding country is, for the most part interesting, and abounds with the seats of highly respectable and opulent gentry. Macroom is the joint property of the Earl of Bandon, and Robt. Hedges Eyre, Esq., the latter of whom resides at the castle of Macroom, which he has lately repaired and furnished in a style of elegance and taste. This venerable and stately building, the front of which is entirely covered with ivy, is said to have been built seven hundred years ago. The domain, which is in a high state of cultivation, abounds with pleasant walks, and the scenery is much enlivened by the river, which glides along the front of the plantations and castle, and by which the domain is bounded on the right. Macroom possesses a dispensary, and charity schools for the education of the poor. The church is about to be enlarged and repaired; and the Catholic chapel is a large and respectable building with a lofty tower. The town is governed by the resident magistrates. It has a good weekly market on Saturday, and fairs for cattle, &c, every month in the year. The population is estimated at 5,000.

MACROOM - Lewis' Topographical Dictionary 1837 -MACROOM, or MACROMP, a market and post-town, and a parish, in the barony of WEST MUSKERRY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 24 miles (W by N) from Cork, and 145 (SW) from Dublin; containing 6137 inhabitants, of which number 2058 are in the town. This place is said to have derived its name, signifying in the Irish language ‘a crooked oak,' from a large oak tree which formerly grew in the market square. It appears to owe its origin to the erection of a castle, which, according to Sir Richard Cox, was built in the reign of John by the family of the Carews. This castle subsequently became the property of the McCarthys, and was repaired and beautified by Teigue McCarty, who died here in 1565. It was taken in 1602, after a long seige, by Sir Charles Wilmot, just as he was about to draw off his forces to Cork, agreeable to the orders of the Lord-President, who was apprehensive that its owner Dermot McCarty, having made his escape from him, would attempt to cut off the retreat of the besieging army. On this occasion the garrison were compelled to abandon the fortress by the breaking out of an accidental fire, which raged so furiously as to threaten its destruction; and the English forces rushing in, extinguished the flames, and leaving a garrision for its defence, marched directly to Cork. In 1650, the RC Bishop of Ross (Boetius MacEgan) assembled an army of 4000 foot and 300 horse from the western part of the county, to relieve Clonmel, at that time besieged by Cromwell; but on the approach of Lord Broghill with 2000 of the Parliamentarian cavalry, the bishop set fire to the castle and concentrated his forces in the park, where being attacked by Lord Broghill they were defeated and their leader taken prisoner. (Bishop MacEgan was subequently hung at Carrigadrohid Castle) Ireton, being soon afterwards made President of Munster, despatched a party of his forces from Kilkenny to this place, severely pressed by a body of native troops in the service of James II; but on the approach of Major Kirk with 300 dragoons, they abandoned the siege and retreated with considerable loss.
Macroom till very lately was the joint property of the Earl of Bandon and Robert Hedges Eyre, Esq., and received comparatively but little improvement; but since it became the sole property of the latter gentleman, considerable progress has been made in improving its appearance and the condition of its inhabitants. The town is pleasantly situated in a healthy open vale surrounded by hills of moderate elevation, and enlivened and fertilised by the winding course of the river Sullane, over which is an old bridge of nine arches adjoining the castle; and about a mile below it, where the Sullane receives the waters of the Lany, is another stone bridge of nine arches, about a mile to the east of which it discharges itself into the river Lee. The approaches on every side are through a long line of cabins, of which those to the west of the old bridge have been rebuilt in a neat and comfortable style and roofed with slate. It consists of one principal street, nearly a mile in length, and towards the western extremity having a wider space, in which is the newly erected market-house, forming one side of a square, of which the opposite side is occupied by the hotel and the castle gateway: the inhabitants are supplied with water from springs and public pumps recently erected by susbscription. Though troops are frequently stationed here, there is no barrack: the proprietor of the town has offered to Government a sufficient quantity of ground rent-free for the erection of a suitable building for the accommodation of the troops. There are no fixed sources of public amusement, but the town is frequently enlivened by the lovers of field sports and steeple chases, for which the neighbourhood is celebrated. There are two flour-mills and two tan-yards at present in operation; and there were formerly a distillery and salt-works, which have been discontinued. The principal trade is in corn, which is brought into the town daily by the farmers, and purchased on account of the Cork merchants; the quantity sold during the year 1835 exceeded 39,000 barrels. The market is on Saturday, and is abundantly supplied with butchers' meat, vegetables, and provisions at a moderate price; and from January till May there is a weekly market for pigs, many of which are slaughtered here and afterwards sent to Cork. From May till the end of the year, cattle fairs are held on the 12th of every month alternately in the town and at the village of Masseys-town, the property of Massey Hutchinson Massey, Esq., a little to the south-west. Here is a chief constabulary police force, for whose accommodation a handsome barrack has been built. A manorial court for the recovery of debts not exceeding £2 is held every third week before the sneschal, the jurisdiction of which is very extensive, comprehending several parishes in addition to that of Macroom. The quarter sessions for the West Riding of the county are held here in December, and the petty sessions for this division of the barony of Muskerry are held on alternate Tuesdays. The court-house is a neat building of hewn limestone, ornamented with a cornice and pediment supported by two broad pilasters, between which is a handsome Venetian window, and connected with it is a bridewell.
The parish comprises 10,493 ½ statute acres, as apploted under the tithe act; about four-fifths are under tillage, the remainder being rough mountain pasture and bog; the system of agriculture is in a state of progressive improvement; there is little waste land, except the rocky parts of the mountains, and the bog affords an ample supply of fuel. In the mountains of Muskerry-More, consisting principally of schistose rock, and forming a detached portion of the parish, are several thin strata of freestone of very white colour and good quality; and in a rivulet on the south side is a thin seam of coal, which dips very rapidly. The scenery is richly diversified and in many parts beautifully picturesque, and there are several gentleman's seats in the parish. Of these, the principal is Macroom Castle, the residence of Robert Hedges Eyre, Esq., who has converted the ancient castle into an elegant modern mansion, in which the old towers have been so perfectly incorporated as to be scarely distinguishable from the rest of the building. During the alterations, a 32 lb cannon ball was taken out of the walls. It is a spacious quadrangular structure with embattled parapets, and richly mantled with ivy on the side fronting the demesne, which is bounded on the north by the river Sullane, and extends over a beautifully wooded ridge to the south and west, including a spacious deer-park. Mount Massey, the seat of M. H. Massey, Esq., occupies a conspicuous site above the northern bank of the Sullane, and is beautifully encircled with a grove of fir trees. Rockborough, the seat of T. Mitchel Browne, Esq., is pleasantly situated in a retired spot, about two miles to the west of the town, and is distinguished for the beauty and variety of its scenery, in which wood and water, barren rock, and verdant hill are pleasingly combined. Sandy Hill, the residence of Thos. S. Coppinger, Esq., is pleasantly situated, commanding a fine view of the castle and its wooded demesne. Coolcawer, the residence of W. G. Browne, Esq., is situated about a mile and a half to the south-east of the town, and is embosomed in a richly wooded demesne. Firville, the recently erected mansion of Philip Harding, Esq., is romantically situated at the extremity of a picturesque glen on the northern bank of the Sullane, near its confluence with the Lany; and Coolehane, the seat of Richard Ashe, Esq., also recently erected, is pleasingly situated on the same bank of the river, but at a greater distance from its confluence. Codrum House, the residence of Massey Warren, Esq., and Codrum, of Edw., Ashe, Esq., are also in the parish.
The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cloyne, and in the patronage of the Bishop; the tithes amount to £480, and there are six acres of glebe. The church, towards the erection of which the late Boards of First Fruits granted a loan of £1000, in 1825, is a small modern edifice in the later English style, with an enriched porch, and is attached to the tower of the ancient structure; it is situated at the western extremity of the town, opposite to the castle and close adjoing the bridge. In the RC divisions, this parish is the head of a union or district, comprising also part of the parish of Ahieragh (Aghinagh): the chapel is a handsome edifice, with a square embattled tower strengthened with buttresses and crowned with pinnacles; and there is also a chapel at Ahieragh (Aghinagh). About 40 children are taught in the parochial school, which is supported by R. H. Eyre, Esq., the incumbent, and other Protestant inhabitants; and in a school held in the chapel-yard, aided by the National Board. There are nine private schools, in which are about 380 children; and a dispensary.
On the lands of Codrum, about half a mile to the west of the town, is a large stone of clay-slate inserted into a wall on the road side, with the following incription still legible: D. E. O. C. 1686. H. F. FECIT., implying that Donald, Earl of Clancarty, caused it to be erected. On the same lands are the remains of an encampment, in which is a spacious subterranean cavern, the extent of which has not been ascertained: several pieces of iron and other metal, much corroded, and apparently portions of ancient military weapons, have frequently been found here; the entrance has been lately closed up, to prevent accidents to the cattle. There are two chalybeate springs, one on the lands of Ballyvirane, and the other, which has been recently discovered, on the lands of Cooleanne; the water is similar in its properties to that of Leamington; they are both much used and have been found efficacious in scrofulous and leprous diseases. Sir William Penn, a distinugished admiral, and father of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, in America, was born at Macroom castle.

Macroom, 13th February, 1845 - MY DEAR SIR - I herewith send you £43.2.6, amount of the O CONNELL TRIBUTE for the year 1844, from the Parish of MACROOM, with the names of the Contributers - I am, my dear Sir, with great respect, your obedient servant, - DANIEL LUCY, Secretary
(CE 24/11/1845) - THE O CONNELL TRIBUTE - MACROOM - 21 November, 1845 - Dear Sir, I beg to say that the races, which occurred on the two previous days to the 16th instant, on which the simultaneous collection for the revered and incomparable Liberator, was to be made all over the land of his notoriety, together with other local circumstances, interfered with the spirited and unpurchaseable patriots of this town, in holding their preliminary meetings, so indispensible to the satisfactory collection and properly devising the best means calculated to secure a sum creditable to the parish, and as much as possible renumerative of the services of the Moral Regenerator of the Emerald Isle. - The collection having been thus retarded, ‘tis now considered the best plan to postpone the appeal till after Christmas, in the strong hope that persons then will be in a better position, not only to follow the patriotic and glorious example laid down by the good men of Cove, and many other like towns; but that the groes amount may be thereby argumented beyond last year's mark. It is in the total absence of all vanity and affection, I say that there is an unextinguishable fire of purest patriotism which burns in the bosom of Macroompians, and whose warmth is only equalled by your own love of fatherland. - There is no place where apathy does not exist, until dispelled by the influence of some leading parties. Such, to a certain extent, was out case hitherto; but, thank God, now our magnificent People's Hall affords an oppurtunity to the intelligent and genuine trades of the town to meet, consult, devise, and ascertain the surest mode of success in colleceting the National Tribute, and to co-operate with their patriotic and exemplary clergy in carrying out this grateful object. - In conclusion, I will only observe, though perhaps one of the last collected, Macroom will not prove to be the least deserving your editorial eulogy, - Dear Sir, yours truly, C. CREED

After the usual routine business was gone through DANIEL LUCY, Esq., rose and proposed the following resolution, which was seconded by PATRICK RONAYNE, Esq, and adopted with unanimous approbation: - 'RESOLVED - That the Famine and Fever which have this year afflicted this unfortunate country is a visitation of Divine Providence, over which no class of persons in this country had any control, and that it is unjust to visit such a misfortune on Ireland, by taxing her people with the expenses of it, and we are of opinion that the entire expense of the Temporary Relief and Fever Acts, should be made a charge on the Empire at Large, and that this Resolution be transmitted to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, calling his Lordship's immediate and earnest attention to it. ' - The meeting shortly after separated.
(CE 25/10/1847) - FAMINE AND ITS ACCOMPANYMENTS - TO THE EDITOR OF THE CORK EXAMINER - SIR, - We are only at the termination of a frightful famine, and to all appearances at the commencement of a worse one. Good God, are we again to witness the dreadful scenes that have only just passed over us, are we again to behold our poor fellow-creatures moving like mere shadows through the streets, falling on the high roads from hunger and starvation, and dropping down at our very doors? Are our exemplary clergymen and liberal gentlemen to place their lives in jeopardy as they have heretofore done, in visiting the sick cabin of the poor man, extending with their own hands relief, and endeavouring to afford consolation before the soul had taken its departures from the entirely starved and emaciated frame? - I just now want to draw public attention to a disgraceful practice that was carried on during the period of awful distress, when nothing should sway people from relieving the destitute, the practice of proselytizing, a new accompaniment of famine. The duties that devolved on the priest were indeed laborious, inasmuch as they had to combat against famine, disease, and death, on the one hand, and on the other, against those proselytizers, (justly termed soul-jobbers). - In every locality where this nefarious system worked, the proselytizing school consisted of about a dozen of the poorest children of the place, a Bible master or mistress was procured to diffuse knowledge to hungry stomachs. The pottage pot was superintended and conducted by the female proselytizer, and its salubrious contents distributed every day after five or six hours of lecturing, charitable donations were lavished in purchasing up bibles, paying the master or mistress so much per week, and as a matter of course, adding a little to their own private funds. - Is it not melancholy to know that all this was in operation when famine and disease desolated the land. Now another year's famine is impending; and I ask what will be done with those two traffickers, the proselytizer and the corn merchant? I can tell you they are ripe for another opportunity, and that will very shortly be at hand. In the mean time public opinion ought to be brought to bear on them. Their very names should be set forth on the wings of the press as individuals base and degraded, to an extent, unmatched in any other country calling itself civilized. - I am, your's &c. - Macroom, October 18th, 1847 - ADF
