Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland's report on the petition of Patrick Trant. Said petition sets forth that William Sarsfield, of Lucan, co. Dublin, was (in 1663) restored by the Commissioners of the late Court of Claims to an estate tail expectant upon a life estate of his father, Patrick Sarsfield, of and in the towns, lands and tenements of Tournings, Killinmore, Clowninges and Lady Castle, in the barony of Naas, co. Kildare, and Padingstwone and Westpanstwone in the barony of Newcastle, co. Dublin. Further, said William Sarsfield has obtained a grant (1673, December 19) from the King of the reversion in fee simple expectant upon
the said estate tail; and has sold to petitioner an absolute estate in fee simple of the abovesaid lands, etc. For the better strengthening of his title. petitioner prays to be admitted at any time at his or his heirs' desire "to place or procure to be placed, as in such cases is usual, upon the said reversion which was expectant upon the said estate tail as aforesaid, the satisfaction of such deficiency of any interest yet unsatisfied which, according to the Act of Settlement. ought to be satisfied [to petitioner]." Said petition being referred May 6 last by the King to the Duke of Ormonde, the latter referred same May 29 to the Attorney and Solicitor General [Ireland]: on which reference Sir John Temple. Solicitor General of Ireland, reported confirming said statements. The grant of the said reversion to William Sarsfield of 1673, December 19, does not appear to have been granted to him towards satisfaction of any adventurer's arrears or other uses whereto all lands forfeited to the King by the said Acts are made liable. Petitioner being a purchaser of part of the said lands under William Sarsfield desires. for the further security of his title, that he may be admitted to place such deficiencies as are by the rules of the Acts [of Settlement and Explanation] to be satisfied out of forfeited lands upon the reversion of the lands so purchased by him, and that he may be admitted to pass a new patent of the reversion whereby it may be granted to him and his heirs in consideration and towards satisfaction of such deficiencies as he shall place thereon. His request may be granted so as the present rent be not lessened by such new settlement. On said report the Lord Lieutenant reports to the King June 24 last forwarding said Temple's opinion as above. The said Lord Lieutenant's report being referred July last to the Treasury Lords the latter hereby report thereon that they have nothing to object thereto. |
