1870-1951 Series of original bundles of tenants’ proposals or agreements for and surrenders of conacre, grazing, weekly, monthly, yearly and caretaker lettings [most of them relating to King’s County and Birr, but some of them quite possibly
relating to the Tipperary estate. Ideally these papers should be integrated with Q/17-90, but as the labour involved in so doing would be considerable, and as they are distinguished from the earlier leases by their temporary nature, they have been left in their original state, except that they have been reduced to rough chronological order, as follows:
Box of conacre, grazing, weekly, monthly, yearly or caretaker proposals/agreements.
Box of conacre, grazing, weekly, monthly, yearly or caretaker proposals/agreements.
Lease-book titled ‘R[osse] agreements, No. 1’, recording details of such lettings as the above.
The same, titled ‘R[osse] agreements, No. 3’, [and continuous as far as dates are concerned, although No. 2 appears to be missing?].
Rental of the ‘Outer estate’, which includes [the Sprigge lands of] Lisclooney, Clonivoe and Lumpcloon, and has a half-yearly rental of £6,500.
Rental of the ‘Inner estate’ [Parsonstown and the immediately outlying townlands], with a half-yearly rental of £4,500.
Battered folio ledger titled ‘Out-goings, 2 [no sign of ‘1’], recording ‘out-goings’ on sundry people and for sundry purposes (drainage, interest, head rents, game and farm expenses, etc).
