Discoveries on Lands in Londonderry Challenge Irish Society
The article reports that recent legal findings show lands held by Edwards in Londonderry may not originate from original Crown grants to the Irish Society. The absence of the Great Seal of Ireland on grants, tied to historic royal authority, could render such patents null. Early legal opinions differ from Chief Baron Yelverton, and disputes over titles may arise as claims to lands formerly deemed included are challenged.
