2 pp; Legal document printed on a single folded leaf, completed in manuscript

Legal document issued under the Land Law Acts recording a Civil Bill Ejectment for Non-Payment of Rent brought before the Recorder of Cork in the East Riding Division. The legal action is initiated by Plaintiff Alexander J. Glasgow of Waka Waka, New Zealand, through his solicitor R. Hayes of 59 South Mall, Cork, against the Defendants Father Thomas (John Edward) Dowling OFM Cap. and Father Lawrence Dolwing OFM Cap., Rector of the Monastery Rochestown. The suit seeks clear possession of a portion of the Lands of Rochestown, situated in the Parish of Carrigaline, Barony of Cork, which was held under a year-to-year contract tenancy at a nominal yearly rent of ten shillings. The document claims a total ejectment arrear sum of £5 5s. 0d., itemizing a continuous ten-year backlog of unpaid rent stretching from a half-year ending on 25 March 1890 through nine consecutive years ending each March from 1891 to 1898. The bill summons the defendant to answer the charge at the Cork County Court on 16 October 1899.
