Item 1 - Articles of Contract between Barry McMullen and Father Cherubini Mazzini and others

3 pp; manuscript

Articles of Contract for building a mortuary house and premises at Rochestown, County Cork. The legal agreement is struck between Cork-based builder Barry McMullen and two Roman Catholic clergymen, the Very Reverend Cherubini Mazzini OFM Cap. and the Reverend Anthony Sansone OFM Cap. The text consists of ten clauses outlining construction standards, architectural oversight, and financial terms totaling £1,150 to be paid in instalments based on project milestones. Notable amendments made in November 1873 alter the project’s completion deadline from 1 August to 1 November 1874, enforcing a weekly late penalty of £10 thereafter.
