Scope and content
List of irrecoverable arrears relating to the County Mayo estate, containing approximately 180 entries. There are columns for the number in the ledger; the tenant's name; name of the holding; arrears due; period when due and observations. The observations' column is filled in for most entries and gives the reason why the arrears was irrecoverable, for example expiration of the lease, death of the tenant, insolvency and emigration. Many of the tenants were ejected. An arrear of £4.17.9, due in Nov 1829 for Bridge House, Castlebar, was allowed to Pat Murphy when he surrendered the plot for the improvement of the bridge. Includes pencil annotation 'Wills of Lord Lucan' in the cover sheet.
