Biographical / Historical Note

The collection is an amalgamation of rental and particulars of sale which were held by Nash and Sons Estate Agents and Auctioneers relating to the sale of property in Limerick city and county and adjoining counties. Many of the documents relate to the sale of land and breakup of estates in the late nineteenth century when property changed hands from the largely Protestant Ascendancy to the Catholic middle classes and prosperous farmers under the Encumbered Estates Acts and later the Land Commission. The Encumbered Estates Acts, 1848 and 1849, allowed the sale of Irish estates which had been mortgaged and whose owners, because of the Great Famine, were unable to meet their obligations. It was hoped that English investors would be attracted to buy Irish estates and thereby transform Irish agriculture. Under the 1849 Act, an Encumbered Estates Court was established with authority to sell estates on the application of the owner or encumbrancer (one who had a claim on the estate). After the sale, the court distributed the money among the creditors and granted clear title to the new owners. The existing tenants on the estates were unprotected by legislation. Estates were generally bought by speculators. Between 1849 and 1857, there were 3,000 estates totalling 5,000,000 acres, disposed of under the acts. The functions of the court were assumed by the Landed Estates Court in 1853. The rentals capture an invaluable picture of the properties concerned at that time as they provide a great level of details on the land tenure of the properties concerned, listing tenants names, lands concerned and the terms and conditions of the leases. The majority of these documents also contain hand drawn detailed maps of the properties.
