11 pp; 19 cm x 13 cm; Bound volume; Manuscript

Receipt and expenditure book for the Church Street Friary. The accounts give details of monies received by the friars and expenditure on provisions (coals, newspapers, and sundries), payments made to organists, to the ‘burial society’ and other outlays. Among the friars referred to are Fr. Bonaventure (John) Buckley OSFC (b. 1809), guardian of the Church Street Friary, Fr. Thomas David Ashe OSFC (d. 8 Nov. 1877). A note on the first page refers to the visitation of Fr. Victor of Chamonix OSFC, Commissary General of the Irish Capuchins, who found these accounts to be correct and that the balance had been placed in the hands of the bursar ‘to pay for the chalices’. The accounts are signed by Br. Augustine Dunne OSFC (d. 1860) and are dated 28 June 1856.
