equally official, states that the Countess then occupied “ the castle and

In the Calendar of the Patent Rolls of Ireland of James I., printed 
by the Record Commission, page 87, we have the enrollment of the 
deed of sale by Sir Walter Raleigh of his Irish property to the after- 
wards great Karl of Cork :— 
“ CXXTV.—41. Deed dated 7 Dec. 1602, 45 Eliz. between Sir 
Walter Raleigh, Kn‘, Captain of the Queen’s Guard, Lord Warden of 
the Stannaries in Devon and Cornwall co*, and Governor of Jersey isle 
and castle, and Richard Boyle, esq., Clerk of the Council in Munster, 
being a native of England, whereby Sir Walter, in consideration of 500° 
Eng. before hand paid, 500’ to be paid at Michaelmas 1608, and 500’ to 
be paid at Easter 1604, demised to said Boyle the lands following.’’ 
After reciting the lands and all other rights, &c., ‘‘ the inheritance of 
the said Sir Walter in Ireland” follows, “‘ excepting the lands, &c., which 
are stated in a schedule annexed to this indenture, to have been sold or 
leased, in fee-farm, or for a term of years,—To hold for ever,” &c. 
By this deed, enrolled no doubt by Mr. Boyle for his own security, 
we have this recorded proof, that his legal powers on the property were 
subject to Sir Walter’s previous leasing, &c. Then follows, at p. 38 :— 
“CXXV.—45. Schedule of Deeds, &c., referred to in the preceding 
grant,”’ among which is, ‘‘ To John Cleaver, Gent., a plowland called 
Covlid-clofyma, and other lands: 21 July, 30" Eliz.” 
To the Rev. Samuel Hayman, of Youghal, whose history of that 
borough, from its earliest period to the present, records an accumulation 
of interesting facts which the most laborious and judicious researches 
only could have dug out of the dusty and mouldering manuscripts of 
past ages, I am greatly indebted for his very kind permission to make 
extracts from a copy which Mr. Hayman made from one original coun- 
terpart of this lease to Mr. Cleaver, granted by Sir Walter Raleigh, of 
lands on which evidently the old Countess had a first, but only a life 
charge; as on her death the rent payable to Sir Walter doubled, and the 
tenant was then also to provide for Sir Walter Raleigh’s service an effi- 
cient lighthorse-man and equipments. It is amusing also to remark the 
implied Sapa that the Countess’s life would not extend to five 
years beyonl the date of the lease ; and, as we suppose she was then 124, 
the expectation was not very extraordinary. She did, however, live for 
sixteen years longer, we may be quite certain, much to the satisfaction 
of the tenant.
