Local Census 1751
"A Duplicate of the popish inhabitants of the half Barony of Ikerrin returned by James Hutchinson, High Constable
of said half barony."
"It was the practice of the time for the authorities to assess damage to property and losses by robbery due to the activities of the Whiteboys and similar organisations, and to recover the value in cash by levying a special tax or fine on all Roman Catholics in the district concerned - in this case the County of Tipperary. Below we have the return for the half barony of Ikerrin in that county, rendered by the High Constable, upon which the tax was to be based in proportion to the acreage held."
"To Mr. James Hutchinson, high Constable for the half Barony of Ikerrin"
"By the justices attending a General Quarter Sessions of the Peace held at Cashel the 15th day of January 1750 (1751 N.S.)."

or otherwise according to law the Sume of one farthing sterling for every three Acres in the foregoing Duplicate
mentioned to compleat the Sume of two pounds two shillings and three pence being the Proportion due on said half
