	Part of the Lands of ARDKILLY, otherwise SANDYCOVE, containing 47a 1r 30p statute measure
	Situate in the Barony of KINSALE, County of Cork.

	The portion of the Lands of Ardkilly, otherwise Sandycove now offered for sale contains by a recent
survey 47a 1r 30p statute measure, is situate within a mile and a-half of the seaport Town of Kinsale, and

	These lands are held (with others, Ballinaboly and Knockrush) under lease dated 2yth August, 1700
from the Honourable Robert SOUTHWELL to Benjamin HILL, for 99 years determinable on the death of the survivor
of three lives, with covenant for perpetual renewal thereof on payment of a fine of £20 on the fall of
each life, the entire lands comprised in said lease, containing 520 Acres, or thereabouts, and being subject to
the yearly rent of £60 14s, late Irish currency, equal to £56 0s 7-1/2d, present currency.

	Benjamin GILLMAN, (the then owner) by his will dated 17th July 1792, devised the whole of Ardkilly (being
about half the demised lands) to his son Hill GILLMAN (the father of the present owner) subject to the yearly rent
of £30 7s late currency to be paid to the head landlord: and devised Ballinaboly and Knockrush to his (testator's) son,
Holmes GILLMAN, subject to the yearly rent of £30 7s late currency to be paid to the head landlord.

	And said Hill GILLMAN, by his will dated 8th October 1917 devised that portion of Ardkilly, now
offered for sale, to the owner, subject to £10 2s 4d  of said rent of £30 7s; consequently the part now
about to be sold has heretofore contributed £10 2s 4d late Irish currency, equal to £9 6s 10d, present
currency, being one-sixth of the entire rent reserved by said lease as its proportion thereof.  The said
rent of £56 0s 7-1/2d is, under said wills, accordingly contributed as follows: -

the premises for nonpayment of rent.  Said lease reserves to the lessor the right of fishing, saving and
curing fish in the creeks and harbours. of Knockrush and Sandycove, with convenient room for
landing and curing the fish, and drying the fishermen's nets and for building and making conveniences

felons' and fugitives' goods, fines, amerciaments, forfeitures and seizures and all mines, minerals

fishing and fowling thereon.

	It contains a proviso against selling or demising the premises or any part thereof, by any
person or persons, save a child or children without first tendering same to Lessor at the rate of
40s less than the offer of another within twenty days for lessor to accept or refuse same, and before
any such sale or demise, that lessee pay to lessor 40s and obtain Lessor's consent in writing under hand and seal.

	A covenant that in case lessor is doubtful of the existence of any life, he may serve notice on lessee
to prove existence within three years and if not proved within that period that said life be deemed dead.

	Also a covenant that in case lessee does not apply for a renewal within six months after the death of
a life, the lessor shall be entitled to a fine of 40s per month after the expiration of the six months until
such renewal be taken out.

	A covenant to let back to the lessor six or eight acres next to the old mill of ARDKILLY, in
case he wished to set up the old mill again.
