Scope and content

Letter from William Joseph Burke, 18 Middle Gardiner St., Dublin, to Mr. Donelan, stating that he had received his for all his lands with Charles, with the provision of an assignment of £40 for her. She argues that Nehemiah had only a life interest in the lands in question under the marriage settlement and while she was compelled to acknowledge the deed of sale before a "Commissioner for taking acknowledgements of married women", but that no certificate to that effect was ever issued. An action for ejectment was brought by Dermot Donelan against Charles Prisse Wallace, but he refused to accept the jointure of £80.
