Recites a lease for 100 years dated 9 July 1792 between the Principal Officers of His Majesty's Ordinance and James Skerrett of the City of Dublin, barrister, of "the piece of Ground at Galway whereupon the old Fortification called the Town Wall and Bastion stood together with the Ditch and Fosse being 63 feet wide ... the Ordinance Stores and Magazine and that Piece of Ground whereon John Lewis Tyrors Harden then were with all and singular the Houses and Edifices thereon erected at a yearly rent of £20".

Dominick Martin has agreed to purchase Blake's interest in the premises so described for the remainder of the unexpired terms of the 100 years lease for the sum of £800. On the back there is a receipt signed by Francis Blake, for £800 received from Dominick Martin.
