            IE OCCHO DIGBY/D/6 · Item · 1895
            Part of Digby Irish Estates

            Annual report, accounts and rental for year end June 1895, showing rents and arrears unchanged since the previous year. Despite the continued low prices for agricultural produce, and a moderate harvest, rents were satisfactorily paid, and Digby notes 'the agitation and discontent prophesied as the inevitable result of the defeat of the Home Rule and Evicted Tenants Bills have been absolutely non existent, and in this district boycotting and intimidation of any kind are almost things of the past.'

            Annual Report 1894
            IE OCCHO DIGBY/D/5 · Item · 1894
            Part of Digby Irish Estates

            Annual report, accounts and rental for year ending June 1894, showing an unchanged rental situation form the previous year.

            Annual Report 1893
            IE OCCHO DIGBY/D/4 · Item · 1893
            Part of Digby Irish Estates

            Annual report, accounts and rental for year ending June 1893, showing a slight decrease in gross rent received and an increase in abandoned arrears due to the eviction of three tenants: Michael Malone, Danganbeg; John Dunne, Ballinagar; and Michael Coughlan, Cappancur. Digby notes that he was able to re-let Malone and Dunne's holdings but that it was 'impossible' to re-let Coughlan's farm. Also notes that Lord Digby granted a 15% rent reduction to non-judicial tenants as a result of continued depressed prices and great injury caused by an excessively wet harvest.

            Annual Report 1892
            IE OCCHO DIGBY/D/3 · Item · 1892
            Part of Digby Irish Estates

Notes that outstanding arrears have increased and abandoned arrears represent mainly rentals of lands set for grazing or temporary purposes. Little to no expenditure reported. Notes that condition of the estate is satisfactory but warns that the coming year will be 'an anxious one and the management of Irish property not likely to be rendered more easy by the relaxation of the law and the encouragement to agitation which is certain to result from recent change in government.'

            Annual Report 1891
            IE OCCHO DIGBY/D/2 · Item · 1891
            Part of Digby Irish Estates

Expenditure on forestry only with some acres at Clonad, cleared, drained and replanted. Digby reports that the overall condition of the estate is 'most satisfactory' and that 'the traces of agitation which recently distracted the country have, owing to Mr. Balfour's fearless administration, improved agricultural conditions and the split in the Nationalist camp, almost entirely disappeared.'

            Annual Report 1889
            IE OCCHO DIGBY/C/17 · Item · 1889
            Part of Digby Irish Estates

            Annual report, accounts and rental for year ending June 2016, showing a reduction in the rental , mainly as a result of decisions in the land courts. Outstanding arrears had slightly decreased but there was an increase in abandoned arrears, the result of two years rent of the farm in Ballymooney from which it was necessary to evict B. R. Odlum. No major expenditure and the usual amount of £11, 000 was remitted. Describes Ireland as showing a marked improvement both materially and morally, and the tenant farmer 'has relinquished agitation and devoted themselves to more legitimate pursuits.'
