Correspondence in the Earl of Antrim Papers relating to Annie B Tully, Principal of Carnalbanagh National School, County Antrim, 1894. Annie B Tully, a Presbyterian was married to a Roman Catholic and despite some misgivings tendered her resignation as school principal. She subsequently changed her mind and sought to withdraw her resignation. On her request being refused, she staged a 'sit-in' and refused to surrender the keys of the school, despite repeated demands. It was only after months of wrangling that the case was finally resolved when the National Commissioners ceased to recognise her as teacher in the school, 1894. The collection also includes letters from numerous female teachers, 1863-1903.
