Kaye, Turtle, here is abbreviated extract from Slater's Directory 1881 with ref to G.B. Dawson 1828. *TULLOW* is a market town and parish, in the barony of Rathvilly county of Carlow, 48 miles s. from Dublin, 8 S.E. from Carlow; very pleasantly situated on the banks of the Slaney, and close to the borders of Wicklow County. There is a spacious and well-built court-house, in which quarter sessions for the barony are held, and petty sessions every third Saturday. The other public institutions are a fever hospital, with a dispensary attached, an almshouse for poor women, erected in 1828, by the Rev. G. B. Dawson, a Protestant school, a convent and a monastery. The members of both the latter establishments receive boarders for education, and also Superintend gratuitously the instruction of the poorer children of the town.
