Deed of trust from Patrick Joseph Nolan to Daniel Cooke Bergin of his interest in the residue of the lease (2 June 1834) of properties situated in Upper Church Street known as ‘the Swan Inn’; to provide for his wife, Catherine Nolan, and to provide portions for his children upon their marriage. The trust permits ‘Catherine Nolan to have, receive, take and enjoy the said rents, issues and profits as and for her own sole use … and to suffer her the said Catherine Nolan to dispose of the same … as she shall think proper to and amongst her issue by the said Patrick Joseph Nolan (if any) and also to and amongst all or any of the children by a former marriage provided that the said Catherine Nolan should have the power to limit and appoint any part of the property … to and amongst such issue with all necessary and proper limitations and restrictions’. With a later copy endorsed ‘Thomas White, 20 Usher’s Quay’.

Legal documents arising out of title to and the disputed possession of the properties on Upper Church Street (formerly ‘the Swan Inn’ and later known as no. 142 Church Street). The dispute arose following the death on 7 Feb. 1863 of Catherine Nolan. She died intestate and without having made any deed giving instructions as regards the disposition of properties held under the terms of the deed of trust of 8 Apr. 1836 (See CA CS/2/2/2/4). She was survived by five children from a previous marriage and a bill was filed in the Court of Chancery for the purpose of deciding on the disposition of the trust properties and discharging Daniel Cooke Bergin from the trust he had entered in the above-noted deed. An order from the Court of Chancery was obtained allowing for the sale of the premises on Church Street (along with properties at nos. 3-5 Cork Street). Daniel Cooke Bergin died on 1 Jan. 1873 and bequeathed his estate to Isabella Bergin who was appointed executrix. Fr. Daniel Patrick O’Reilly OSFC and other Capuchin friars from North King Street were clearly eager to secure 142 Church Street. Fr. O’Reilly wrote to his solicitor in Mar. 1874 expressing his intent on ‘having it at any cost’. However, by this point, the title to the properties had become increasingly complicated as rents for the plots and title to the premises thereon were seemingly vested in joint owners. Nevertheless, the Capuchins succeeded in purchasing no. 142 Church Street at a public auction held on 30 Mar. 1874. The file includes legal documents generated by attempts to prove title to the properties and from ligation in the Court of Chancery amongst the various parties occasioned by the proposed sale to the Capuchins. The parties to the ligation included the aforementioned Isabella Bergin, revivor and plaintiff, and the children of Catherine Nolan namely, Elizabeth Kelly, Mary McDowell, Catherine McGuinness and Peter Rooney, defendants. The file includes:
