Hempen and Sail-Cloth Manufacture Encouraged at Douglas Corke
The Historical Register reports the committee's opinion that Merlheurs Boyle Lenox and Company built a large hempen and sailcloth factory at Douglas near Corke at their own expense and deserve encouragement. It recommends discharging them from prior contracts, securing continued manufacture at Douglas, and possibly keeping a Rathkeale operation with trustees’ oversight. It notes additional proposals for related hempen manufacture in Rathkele and discusses petitions regarding patent fees and silk crape production.
