The letters relate to the purchase of the ground rent of a property known as ‘Morrissey’s, 17 Friary Street’, from AIB Bank by the FMC Trust for £1,000 and to the proposed purchase of the said premises by Kilkenny Corporation. Correspondents include John Lanigan & Nolan, Abbey Bridge, Dean Street, Kilkenny, Fr. Leo Cullen OFM Cap., the Town Clerk’s Office, Kilkenny Corporation, and the Charitable Commissioners Office. A letter from John Lanigan & Nolan refers to the property as being let to tenants called ‘the Floods … [comprising] two Alms Houses i.e. the old “Munster Arms” at an annual rent of £11.50 due half yearly’.

Copy deed of conveyance from the FMC Trust, c/o Capuchin Friary, Kilkenny, to Edward and Corann Loughlin, 31 Thorndale Drive, Malahide Road, Artane, Dublin 5, of all premises and property situated at the junction of Friary Street and Garden Row with the yard at the rear thereof held in fee simple and subject to the terms and conditions as set down in the fee farm grant (29 Oct. 1898) from Penelope H. Colles and others to Fr. Matthew O’Connor OSFC and Fr. Fidelis Neary OSFC at an annual rent of £13 7s 8d. Consideration: £101,000. With draft copies, draft memorandum of agreement, draft conditions of sale and a blank memorial for registering the said deed in the Registry of Deeds.

Deeds, correspondence and related legal documents concerning negotiations for the purchase of premises on Walkin Street (later Friary Street) by the Capuchin Order. The principal vendor and fee farm grant holder was the Rev. Andrew Craig Robinson (Church of Ireland Rector of Ballymoney, County Cork). Some of Robinson’s relations also had interests in the properties. The file relates primarily to the protracted negotiations for the purchase, and to efforts to trace title to the properties (Robinson had inherited the fee farm grant of rents accruing from the premises through his mother, Margaret Anne, a daughter of Captain James Montgomery Blair). Reference is also made to various mortgages on the properties and to the original fee farm grant of 1705 made by James Butler, 2nd Duke of Ormonde. The Capuchins eventually secured the property in 1919 for £650 (See CA KK/2/1/1/3/13). The final conveyance contained a covenant by the vendor to indemnify the property transferred against all rents accruing out of any other premises which he continued to hold on Walkin Street.

With a manuscript copy.
