Scope and content

This section contains the papers which relate to the ffrench family of Rahasane. A series of letters record the relationship between Robert J ffrench and his attorney Brabazon Browne concerning Robert J ffrench's legal and financial affairs. On occasion this was a rather fraught relationship due to Robert's continual financial difficulties. Other papers concern a legal case between the Hennessy family and Robert J ffrench over property, inherited from his great-uncle, Joseph Nagle, in county Cork. The involvement of the Clanmorris [Bingham] family, James Smyth, members of the Blake family and others, in Robert J ffrench's financial affairs is also documented. Most of this section is composed of letters but there are also legal papers and some accounts. It has been divided into 5 subsections, comprised of legal and other papers relating to the Hennessy case and to settlements with the Clanmorris family, letters, accounts and miscellaneous.
