By the Reverend Mr Laurence Butter, Minister.
"The number of inhabitants in this parish, including all ages is 367. They are simple in their manners, frugal, industrious, and contented with their situation. Their religious ideas are somewhat confined, but their morals are unimpeachable. According to my information, nothing has occurred, in the memory of man, which has been the subject of a criminal prosecution. And, if their religious knowledge is not very extensive, they are still less versant in political creeds."
