Receipt for an Inland Revenue payment made by Fr. Daniel Patrick O’Reilly OSFC and other Capuchin friars for a plot of ground on which the Roman Catholic Church on Church Street stands. The properties are held under a deed dated 9 July 1875. The statement notes that these premises were ‘demised in 1826 for a term of 99 years at the yearly rent of £46 3s 0d and the landlord’s interest therein sold in 1875 to Rev. Mr. O’Reilly and others’.

Requisition on title of Fr. Daniel Patrick O’Reilly OSFC to Church Street properties. The requisitions relate to questionable points of title relating to the estate. The requisitions were passed by the friar’s solicitors, Terence O’Reilly, to Blount, Lynch & Petre, 4 King Street, Cheapside, London, barristers, for their advice in cases to counsel.

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:

A history of the Capuchin novitiate in Kilkenny, 1875-77 by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. Referring to the decision to found a novitiate, Fr. Angelus wrote ‘In the month of May 1875 a visitation of the Irish Custody was made by Very Rev. Arsenius, the Provincial of Paris Province. At the conclusion of the visitation he called the Custos [Fr. Patrick O’Reilly OSFC] and his two assistants [Fr. Edward Tommins OSFC and Fr. Aloysius Hennessy OSFC]. They met in our Convent at Dublin on May 25th. At this meeting it was decided to apply to our Superiors General in Rome, for permission to establish a Novitiate for the Irish Custody’. The novitiate was transferred from Kilkenny to Rochestown on 14 Feb. 1877. Fr. Angelus concludes by noting that the ‘account of the Novitiate in Rochestown from 1877 to 1886, when it returned to Kilkenny may be given in another paper’.
