Draft Abstracts of Title to 47-50 North King Street compiled by Terence O’Reilly, solicitor for the Capuchin friars, Church Street. The draft and copy abstracts briefly summarize the various deeds and leases (many of which are described above) affecting ownership of the North King Street properties. One of the abstracts is titled ‘abstract of tenants’ leases’ and recites various leases made by the Capuchins following their acquisition of the freehold of the properties in 1869. The abstracts were probably prepared in the anticipation of the sale of the said properties by the Capuchin friars in 1883. The text includes numerous annotations made by the solicitor in respect of the history of title to the properties.
