Deeds and documents relating to the conveyance of 142 Church Street

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:
• Copy will of Daniel Cooke Bergin. 27 Dec. 1872. Copy compiled by Thomas J. White, solicitor.
• Abstract of title to the premises on Upper Church Street submitted to John B. Murphy, barrister, for opinion. 3 July 1873.
