Nothing new under the sun.
From the Pat Purcell Papers.
1818.
By Gilbert Fitz = Gerald, Esquire, one of his Majesties Justices of
the peace for Carlow.
Whereas complaint hath been made unto me on the Oath of Michael Boyle
of Scradriff, Carlow, Mason, that he was Imployed by Darby Nowlan of
Corries to work Mason work for which service in Mason work there
remains due unto Michael Boyle by Darby Nowlan the Sum of Six
Shillings and six pence.
And Where as Darby Nowlan by virtue of my power being duly summoned to
appear before me to shew cause why said wages should not be paid there
and then Darby Nowlan did appear.
And Where as the Settlement of the work wages was by consent of each
party left to the Arbitration of John Baker of Ballinree and Michael
Nowlan of Ballyloughen (no relation to Darby Nowlan).
Therefore John Barker and Michael Nowlan could not agree and according
to the adward sent in Writing unto me John Baker called a third Man of
the Name of William Hench which gave a verdict in writing that the sum
of six shillings and six pence Sterling is Justly due unto Michael
Boyle by Darby Nowlan.
Therefore I do order Darby Nowlan to pay unto William Boyle the above
amount due for wages together with ten pence Cost for this Order.
