Letter from McEvoy to Fr Morrissey relating to court proceedings. Miss Cavanagh [presumably Mary Cavanagh] is said to be a lunatic, who should have a committee acting on her behalf.
Document headed 'Abstract of title to fee simple & fee farm grant of Malones Paddock and the holdings of [?Harry O'Mooney]'. The document tracks the change of possession of the lands of Newtown Castle Byrne, starting with Robert Byrne Esq[uire] of Cabinteely, who leased it to Reverend John Burrowes of Prospect, following which the lands were then held in fee farm grant to the trustee John Pilsworth Burrowes in 1855, and later in fee simple and interest in the fee farm grant to clergymen with the trustee Thomas Morrissey. It then continues to explain the nature of the lands being held in fee simple and fee farm grant.
Statement of the properties held in trust and not in trust by the Very Reverend Thomas McHale, deceased. The lands are in County Galway. Previous leases from the mid-nineteenth century are mentioned.
Handwritten notes relating to Blackrock properties. Mentioned are George Minchin, whose mother was Ellen Potter Minchin, née Burrowes. George received a fifth of the rent of Prospect through his parents and another fifth through Eliza Burrowes, daughter of Reverend John Burrowes. On 14 August 1879, [William] McEvoy had both parts conveyed to him. There are other notes relating to names of people who held certain fields in Blackrock, such as Robert Byrne, Georgina Mary Byrne, Thomas Ballings and John Burrowes Pilsworth.
