The sub-series includes files relating to events (particularly in Dublin and Cork) organised in 1890 to mark the centenary of the birth of Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC.
The sub-series contains a collection of original Total Abstinence Society pledge cards. Most of the cards are signed by the pledge-taker and by Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC. The cards were decorated with various temperance symbols and vignettes. An illustration on one side of the cards depicted a scene warning of the dangers of intemperance – a man driven by alcohol to beat his wife. Another illustration showed a scene of temperance – a happy family reading together by the hearth. The cards are listed in chronological order.
This sub-series contains the correspondence of solicitors. Most of the letters relate to work connected with property-related transactions and associated fees and bills of cost.
