CHART.m TYRRYAN.m.

These charters are abstracted from a paper book, written about the time of Henry VIII. now in the possession of T. Ronayne Sars­ field, esq. J.P., of Doughcloyne, co. Cork. It consists of twenty-four leaves; the water-mark a bull's head.

The charters being but copies, the mention made of seals must be understood as clauses stating the seals affixed; and which precede the dates. Some other clauses of a formal kind, as warranties, are omitted.

The order of dates not having been observed in the MS. the deeds are here chronologically arranged, and the folio of each indicated in the margin.

A series of extracts from the public records relative to the family of Tyrry or Tirry, will be found in a subsequent part of the present volume.

Noverint univsi .p psentes me Wittm Kralli oarneflc remisisse "t quietu clamasse Edrnondo Tyrry, civi ac mercatori Corke, ofiie jus meu, &c. in uno orto cu Ftifi in Shandon juxta Corke • lnys more, i. e. the Great Island of the Cove of Cork, as it is still called; on

the south side of which stands Queenstown (see hereafter, p. 118). The island of lnys ewenaghe may have been Spike Island; however, it is said the latter was called lnnispik from a family of the Piks. King John's grants mention both the port and cantred of Insovenagh (see Smith's History of Cork, vol. i. p. 51).

h Paradise was the name of the messuage, not of the bridge. Edward Roche (fitz Morris) by his will, dated in 1626, bequeathed to his son Morris "the small castle called the Parentis," in the city of Cork. This must have been the same; for, among the Corporation archives is a lease, dated in 1678, from Edward Roche of Trabolgan gentleman, to Timothy Tuckey esquire, mayor of Cork, of" the small castle called Paradise" for 61 years, which lease was purchased by the corporation in 1702. The Exchange, built in 1708, and demolished some years ago, occupied the site of this castle. The name of Paradise was long extinct on the spot until the conductors of the Ordnance Survey revived it in the name of Paradise Place.

c In 53 Edw. III. it was found that Peter de Cogan died seized (inter al.) de duohus partihus medietatis manerii de Shandon in Ocourblethan, co. Cork, worth per ann. 20s. 7d., and that John Fitz David de Rupe, Knt., and William de Rupe, Knt. (or Roche), were heirs of the said Peter. In 20 Edw. III. Robert Bricky and John Fitz Stephen Sarsfield were assigned as custodes paeis in the cantreds of Muscrymytyn and Courblyan. The extension of the liberties of the City of Cork by King James I. seems to have extinguished the name of this cantred or barony.

1 The castle of Belvelly originally belonged to the Hodnets, from whom the Great Island of the harbour of Cork was wrested by the Barrys. It is still in a very perfect state, on a tideway, within a mile of the course of the ships to Cork. Eastward of it, at Ashgrove, is another castle of the Barrys, formerly called Bally mac shane roe. Smith, in his History of Cork (vol. i. p. 169), says, "Near this castle (Barry's Court) is the passage into the Great Island, called formerly the Island of Barry­ more, from its belonging to that family. As a defence to this passage, the only one by which the island can be entered at low water, stands Bellvelly castle, built by one of the Hodnet family, formerly a very potent sept in this country. On an escutcheon cut in stone on the castle wall is a bend lozengee. This island forms one side of Cork harbour, and is four miles Jong and two broad. The chief place in it is Cove [now Queenstown]; a village seven miles from Cork, built nnder a high steep hill, the shore on all this side of the island being bold, and the water of a great depth."

0 Smith, in his History of Cork, vol. i. p. 168, observes that, to prevent other great men from purchasing a part of Carrigtoghill, which might prove troublesome to the Earl of Barrymore, and to make his manor and town entire, the • first Earl of Cork purchased several lands of the Newtons and Terrys near this place, and joined his daughter Lady Barrymore in the purchase. Carrigtoghill signifies the rock of Toghil, which was a common Irish name (see O'Brien's Dictionary voce Tuathal).

P Now called Annesgrove. It became the seat of Sir James Cotter, knt. a remarkable person of his time, whose father, Edmond Cotter, had acquired a lease­ hold estate there under the Earl of Barrymore. Sir James Cotter is said to have commenced his career with a fixed resolve to raise himself to eminence; some parti­ culars of his early endeavours may be seen in Ludlow's Memoirs, pp. 398, 419, 428. His son, being obnoxious to Government on account of his religion, was actively prosecuted as guilty of a rape, and executed about 1720 ; but from the printed report of a suit with Lord Barrymore, respecting Ballinsperry, it is evident that he was an unprincipled man. His son by the interference of Government was educated a Protestant, and created a Baronet.
