Will of Mrs. Sarah Kelly Reveals Vast Irish Estates
Probate in Dublin Court shows Dr. E P Baily as sole acting executor for an estate swearing to around 250000 to 300000. The 1854 will details large legacies to relatives of Broadstairs and Kilcoom holdings, with Kilcoom lands and Ballinderry in Westmeath granted for life to trusted associates and other sums to siblings and nieces. The document hints the residue will be very large, with multiple executors named but one consenting to act. An Irish Catholic journal also cites a Balaklava nuns controversy report pending public airing.

The Wench and an extraordinary inquest death case
The inquest into the death of J Strong, a wealthy tradesman of New Road, ended with a verdict of found dead. He had been eccentric and ill in health, spoke of bankruptcy, and was found with a nitre smell near his body. A cheque for 250 pounds to a young lady was found, and doctors found only slight heart disease with no poison. Feels like a single startling case, plus a run of minor court notes and notices.
