Report to the King from the Treasury Lords on the
petition of Thomas Keightly, esq., concerning lands
in Ireland, ut infra (a). We have referred same to
the Revenue Commissioners, Ireland, and herewith
submit their report (b) thereon ; together with a
certificate (c) from the Clerk of the Quit Rents,
Ireland. The lands are part of the possessions
belonging to the late King before his accession.
Before your Majesty's departure for Holland you
directed a grant under the great seal of Ireland of
all the lands in Ireland belonging to James II on
the 5th Feb., 1684-5, to trustees in trust to convey
same to such persons for such terms as should be
directed by royal sign manual. A grant to petitioner
may be made accordingly under such sign
manual. |
Out Letters (Ireland) VI,
pp. 138-143. |
|
Appending : (a) said petition to the King from Thomas
Keightley. James II before his accession granted
a lease for 31 years from 1663, Mar. 25, to Maurice
Fitzgerald of the two ploughlands of Bullggtihan
(Bullygloghan), the ploughland of Dromboghan,
ploughland of Bullggage and Killeene, ploughland
of Gallanard and Bigerly, plowland of Tinckilly
and Shanniballimore and the two ploughlands of
Bullymore in the barony of Kenry, co. Limerick,
at 108l. 18s. 0d. per an. rent ; and likewise to
Richard Newport and Henry Harding the lands
and tenements of Kilmacog (Killincoogy), Ballyfrin,
Shandagin, Portums, Ballyrillady, alias Ballyvotid,
Killages and 380 acres in Longford, Munnegariff
and Killcuara in the barony of Coonagh, co. Limerick,
for 31 years from 1670, May, at 130l. per an. rent :
and did further grant to petitioner (and Lady Frances
his wife) the said two rents of 108l. 18s. 0d. and 130l.
for the terms thereof and petitioner has received
same (by the attornment of the tenants and assignment
of the said leases to him) till prevented by
the late war in Ireland : James II did further
promise petitioner a new lease of the premises for
99 years "and upon information of the Commissioners
of his Revenue in Ireland that the lands
of Lysoin (Llissowen), Tomolin and Killinoglin,
being parts of the said farm and rented by the said
tenants Richard Newport and Henry Harding at
the rent of 70l. per an. more were confusedly continued
still upon your [their] books and made a
troublesome account by the division of rent" did
also direct that the said lands making the said
70l. per an. more should pass in the same grant to
petitioner : therefore petitioner prays a confirmation
of the said grants in view of his long sufferings and
present debts and necessities, having received
nothing these four years out of Ireland, where his
whole inheritance lays : said petition being referred
1691, Nov. 16, to the Treasury from the King, who
is disposed to gratify him. |
|
(b) Report, dated 1691-2, Jan. 8, to the Treasury
Lords from the Revenue Commissioners, Ireland,
on said petition. By reason of the war and great
desolation by burning the houses etc., the said
lands are for most part waste at present and will
not yield the full reserved rent for seven years to
come. We have no knowledge of the alleged
promise as above. No quit rent is payable for
the premises, but other lands in the Province of
Munster are liable to quit rent. |
|
(c) Certificate, dated 1691-2, Jan. 8, from Richard
Thompson, Clerk of the Quit Rents, Ireland. The
premises are totally waste, both Armies destroying
the same. They contain in all 3,134 acres and the
quit rent payable by the Act of Settlement amounts
to 47l. 12s. 9d. |
|
(d) Memorandum and ratal, dated 1691-2, Jan. 14,
by Edw. Corker. The lands of Lissowen contain
106 acres, Killmullen 384 acres and Tomelin 347
acres, all in the barony of Coonagh, and set to said
Newport and Harding by a separate and distinct
lease, 1670, May, for 31 years at 70l., which rent
"is included in the rent roll and was not assigned
as the former but constantly paid" to the Duke of
York. (This memorandum refers to the lessee of
the first set of premises as Col. Jo[h]n Fitzgerald.) |

Attorney and Solicitor General that the same
ought not to be rated ; that actions are being
brought against the collectors, which will be heard
in Trinity term next, but that [meanwhile] the
Receiver General threatens to distrain for the
money due at Michaelmas last. |

Treasury warrant to the Surveyor General of Crown
Lands for a particular of two fulling mills in co.
Cumberland in order to a reversionary lease thereof
to Thomas Urwen, gent., for 31 years at 20s. per an.
rent and fine of 10l.
Prefixing : report, dated Mar. 19 last, by William
Tailer, Deputy Surveyor General of Crown Lands,
on said Urwen's petition for same, ut supra, p. 1548.
The premises were granted to Geo. Usher, gent.,
1661, Sept. 24, for 31 years ; Usher assigned to
William Urwen, the petitioner's father, in 1662,
May 10, for 40l., and said Urwen assigned to petitioner
1690-1, Mar. 24. In the Parliamentary
Survey the mills appear as altogether in decay,
having been destroyed by the Scots long before,
and the ground on which they formerly stood was
valued at only 5s. per an., but when standing the
mills had been let at 20s. per an. on lease. Petitioner's
father, I doubt not, has been at considerable charge
in re-edifying the mills. |
