				Descriptive particulars

seaport town of Kinsale and is approached by very good roads, with a great facility for
obtaining sea manure at trifling expense and a quay for landing sand &c. on the property.

Benjamin Hill GILLMAN.

	Said leases reserves all Lessors rights as well as the areas of Knockrush and Sandycove.
They contain a proviso against selling the premises without first tendering same to Lessor.  Also
a covenant that said Lessor, if doubtful of any life, may serve notice to prove existence.

	Also a covenant to let back to the Lessor 6 or 8 acres next to the old Mill of Ardkilly if
he should choose to set up the old mill again.

	The first renewal dated 20th February 1765 made by Francis KEARNY to Elizabeth KEARNY,
Mary WHITE and Benjamin GILLMAN and the last renewal bears date  21st August 1830 made by
Thomas Rochefort to Elizabeth GILLMAN, Hill GILLMAN, Richard GILLMAN, Benjamin Hill GILLMAN, and
Holmes GILLMAN, FOR TERM OF 99 YEARS, provided John GILLMAN, Richard GILLMAN. and David
GILLMAN (who are all still living) should so long live.

other members of the GILLMAN family holding other portions of these lands; but compared copies
of the first and last renewals will be handed to the purchaser.
