The names written on the roads or ways, at the extreme points 
of this plan, are as follows :—‘ Colledge green waye, St. Ste- 
van’s street waye, St. Kevan’s street waye, Dunnabroke waye, 
and Baggotrough waye.” 
He also exhibited an enlarged copy of a portion of 
Rocque’s map, or “Survey of the City and Suburbs of Dub- 
lin,” published in 1757, on which is laid down the line of road 
from Stephen’s-green to Ball’s-bridge, over the river Dodder, 
now Lower and Upper Baggot-street; on the north side of 
which is shown on this map the site of Baggotrath Castle. 
The original structure was originally built some time in the 
twelfth century, as appears from various notices of it in the 
public records; and Mr. Smith read several extracts from the 
Memoranda Rolls of the Court of Exchequer and Patent and 
Close Rolls, illustrative of the history of its possessors, at dif- 
ferent subsequent periods. The latest structure, the ruins of 
which were standing within the memory of many persons now 
living, was a massive square tower, built, as there can be little 
doubt, from the drawings exhibited, about the time of James 
the First or Elizabeth. It was taken down upon the occa- 
sion of the building of the houses along the north side of 
Upper Baggot-street, and a house, which is higher by one 
story than the adjoming ones, marks the exact position which 
the Castle of Baggotrath occupied. 
The following are a few of the most curious extracts read 
by Mr. Smith :— 
In the Charter Book, sometimes called the ‘‘ Domesday 
Book,” of the Corporation of Dublin, are preserved two curious 
charters, the first from John de laWarre, Mayor of the city of 
Dublin, to Maurice Fitzgerald, in which the boundaries of 
the manor of Rath are fully set out. From the second, it 
appears that the manor of the Rath, with its appurtenances as 
therein described, was held by Philip de Hynteberg, and af- 
terwards by his grandson Nicholas, who sold it to Lord Robert
