Unidad documental simple 10 - Registry of Deeds Requisition for Hand Search regarding Joseph Mintern (Mintern to Reverend Matthew O’Connor and others)

3 pp; manuscript

Legal requisition for a Registry of Deeds hand search recording an official request to trace historical property transactions affecting the Rochestown estate. Requisitioned by J. C. & A. Blake, Solicitors of Cork, the document commands a formal search for acts affecting ‘All that part of the lands of Rochestown in the Parish of Carrigaline, Barony of Cork & Co. of Cork together with the dwelling house lately erected thereon now in the possession of said Joseph Mintern or his undertenants containing by survey 55 acres English Statute measure’. The search parameters isolate acts committed by Joseph Mintern from the 2nd of July 1863 to the latest period (March 1893) to verify that no other leases, mortgages, or transfers had been encumbered upon the land prior to its transfer.
