The Lake is upon the estate of Mr. Leslie, of Glasslough, county of Monaghan, who derives 200 per year for the right of ferry. It has proved a profitable speculation to those who have farmed it. The usual rate of charge is sixpence each, and it is calculated that from ten to twelve thousand visit the island in the course of the season ; these pay dues to the amount of a shilling to two shillings and sixpence a head."
