lane, "Winetavern-street, Bridge-street, Scarlet-lane, Merchants' -quay, 

 Francis-street, S. George' s-lane, S. Kevin's and S. James', all in the 

 city and suhurbs of Dublin. In the County of Dublin it possessed 

 property at Crumlin, Kilmainham, i^"utstown, and Saucerstown, near 

 Swords.^ 



The names of two lanes not previously known to have existed are 

 mentioned in the Deeds. Kisshoke' s-lane occurs as a boundary in 

 1^0. 120 (a.d. 1482); but in this instance a mistake may possibly 

 have occurred, as the situation would seem to indicate that Keyzar's- 

 (also called Kisher's) lane, close by S. Audoen's church, was intended. 

 A family named Kysshoke resided in the neighbourhood between 1329 

 and 1398, as appears from the Christ Church Deeds; and some lane, 

 which subsequently disappeared, may have been named from that 

 family. 



No. 57 (a.d. 1382) deals with a messuage in Golden-lane, parish 

 of S. John de Eothe- street, as to which lane no information existed. 

 " Le Golde "-lane, in the parish of S. Michael, is mentioned in a 

 document of 1438, among the Deeds in Trinity College Library, which 

 may be the same. Confusion might possibly have occurred between 

 the two, for as the parishes, both very limited in extent, adjoined one 

 another, it is unlikely that two streets of the same name should have 

 lain in such close proximity. 



Occasionally the old city wall is mentioned as bounding certain of 

 the premises — for instance, in Rochel-lane and Winetavern-street ; and 

 the ancient city watercourse appears as the " pipe of the water of the 

 city," and as the "aqueduct." The High Pipe or cistern, opposite 

 S. Audoen's, is also alluded to. 



The Deeds afford some fresh information as to property in the city 

 belonging to monasteries and convents, &c. A messuage in Cook- 

 street, near S. Audoen's cemetery, is described as being owned by the 

 Abbess of S. Mary del Hogges in 1450 ; in the year 1478, the gild of 

 S. John the Eaptist,^ in S. John's church, had an interest in some 

 ground in High-street ; while in very early times S. Mary's Abbey 

 owned a house near S. Audoen's cemetery, which by the year 1593 



^ From the Abstract Book of S. Anne's Deeds (Gilbert mss.), compiled in 1772, 

 it would appear that the fraternity had owned, m addition, property in Bertram's- 

 court, Burnell-lane, and Oxmantown, in the city, and at Ballydowd, Carpenters- 

 town, Dolphin's Barn, Esker, Leixlip, Lucan, Newcastle, and Ballyowen, in the 

 County of Dublin. 



2 The chapel of this gUd in S. John's church was used from 1417 by the 

 fraternity of Tailors.
