IE OH OHS3/G/2/5 · File · 1935-1936
Part of Geashill Estate Papers

Original incoming and copy outgoing correspondence relating to the administration of the Geashill Estate. Matters referred to include repairs to tenants' premises; application to renew forestry permit; rent arrears; trespass and poaching; disposal of labourers' plots; income tax; and fires on wood plantations around the estate.

Includes poster notifying public that the lands at Clonad, Killeenmore, Derryadd, Derrybeg, Derryclure, Derrygolan, Derrygunnigan, Hawkswood, Killeigh, Glebe East and Ballinvalley, all in Co.Offaly are poisoned for the destruction of vermin.(16 March 1936)

Includes copy letter Kennedy to Digby: 'I think Muir has already written to tell you of a most unfortunate fire which took place in 18th inst, practically destroying the whole of the small new plantation in the River Wood. I saw the place the next day with Muir and although some of the young trees - say 20 or 30 per cent may survive, the plantation is for all intents and purposes ruined. ...Here accident could not be negatived as in the very dry state of the undergrowth, anyone throwing away a match after lighting a cigarette would have done the damage and in addition no affirmative evidence of malice could be given beyond the fact that a few Poison Notices were posted up shortly before. This in itself would not provide evidence of malice (only evidence of a possible occasion for malice) especially as, in Lewis's time Poison Notices did not produce any such result. (24 March 1936)
