Scope and content

Letter from Colonel Anthony Ormsby, eldest son to Thomas Ormsby of Ballinamore, Co. Mayo. All to do with the Trench family and division of "cares in common". He begins the letter "You will I suppose be as much surprized as I was at what I am now going to tell you ..." He went to the Registry Office to see "how Trench came by the acres in common or whether he could claim more than the 255 acres which were specified in the lease ..." He found a deed dated 1803 being "the very year you and he were writing to each other ..." in which Trench levied various fines and made settlements " but not one word about the acres in common ... how he could make such a settlement at the very time you and he were corresponding as more so, how he could be applying to you to divide what he has no power to do, except by filing a bill in Chancery which be a most expensive proceeding ... you must see clearly by this conduct of his that it requires to be very sharp and particular with him ..."
