Level : item Title: Rental Extent: 278 folios Scope and Content:
Rental recording, on each folio, the name of a tenant, amount of rent, a description of the holding, and of the terms of the lease [date of lease and extent of holding only recorded for some tenants]. This information is at the top of the folio, and is followed by fields for recording information on rents and arrears, but these fields are blank for most folios. A field headed 'Folio' is generally completed, eg, 'FL 1', 'FL 16' [apparently a reference to another ledger containing further information. Some numbered references to 'Old Ledgers' are also noted]. A typical entry in this rental runs as follows (first entry): 'Dr William Harris per annum £90 0s 0d for part of the lands of Ardprior and Milleragh commonly called Coulta, with the meadow the bog the commons thereunto belonging and the course reas and rushy fields as formerly held by John and James Fitzgerald, in the barony of Orrery and Kilmore, in the parish of [blank] in the county of Cork for 3 lives from the 1st May 1799 - lives viz John Harris, son to John Harris of the city of Cork, Mary Francis and James Purcell (son of Pearce Purcell) of Altimere in the county of Cork, with liberty for cutting turf on the Bog of Ardprior for the use of the tenants only'. This type of rental contains much information on the nature of tenant tenure and the history and physical characteristics of many of the holdings.
[Apparently relates to the Eastern Estate.]
