"AN ACCOMPT OF THE Rights of St. Andrew's PARISH TO

PART OF DAMMES-STREET, IN CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE
TWO PARISHES OF ST. WARBURGH and St. Andrews."

[From the original autograph Manuscript of Anthony Dopping, Bishop of Kildare, A. D. 1678. See page 306.]

"THE STATE OF THE CASE.-The Parish of St. Warburgh pretends that the bounds of St. Warburgh Parish doe extend without the Dammes gate on both sides of the way, unto the water course that runs through the Castle yard, and so along by the Horse guard, and then emptys itself at the end of Essex-strect into the Liffie. The Parish of St Andrews challengeth a right to all the houses without Dammes gate on both sides of the way, and makes the Dammes gate and the citty wall to be the meare and bound between the two parishes.

"PRETENCES OF ST. WARBURGH.—The pretences of St. Warburgh are grounded-1. Upon a record in the Auditor's office that mentions the Dammes milles' to be in parochia de Le Dammes. 2. Upon an

order of vestry pretended to bee made by the Parish" of both parishes anno 1574, and entered in the Registry of St. Warburgh. The copy whereof in futuram rei memoriam I have here inserted.

THE COPY OF THE ORDER OF VESTRY.

"The Parish" of this parish assembled the 22 of August 1574, anno regni reginæ Elizabethæ 16, for the finall end and determination of a controversy betwixt this church and St. Andrew's (which controversy was to know how far this parish did go without the gate), which was adjudged by the Parish" of St. Andrews as well as by the parish of this parish to reach no further than the water course that runs through the Castle yard, and so doth divide the aforesaid parishes. From this day it is ordered that the inhabitants without the Gate do resort to divine service to this church so many of them as are of this parish. Tho. Ellis, curate; John Dympsye, James Notarye, Richard Standhurst, Ralph Myles, Will Staynes, Geo. Rayney, Pat. Archbold, Tho. Smith, Clement Franck, James Stanyhurst, Rich. Edwards, Rich. Cox, James Ryan, Will". Barnwall, Edw. Thomas, Patr. Mills, James Welch.

"The right of St. Andrew's parish to the south side of the way and the houses there without Dammes Gate, viz., to that side of the way wherein Swan-alley lyeth doth depend upon these following proofs:

"1. Upon grants made by Letters Patent unto Gerald Earle of Kildare, and unto Sir Patrick Fox, which doe recite the ground in Swan Ally to be in the parish of St. Andrews and do meare and bound it accordingly; for the proof of this see the grant made 8th Jacobi unto the Earle of Kildare, which was thus:-Hæred Giraldi Comitis Kildariæ unum messuagium cum gardin & pertinent jacent infra Parochiam St. Andreæ infra franchess Civit Dublin, juxta Le Dames Gate extra murum civit prædict, parcel possess monasterij B. Mariæ abuttant versus Oriental super Le Mill Pond; versus Occidental super le civit ditch; versus Austral super molendin et terram Steph Segar; et versus septentrional super regiam viam.

"Gerald Earl of Kildare made a lease of the premisses reciting the bounds of the Parish, &c., according to his grant from the Crowne. The lease is in the custody of Laurence Hartly, shoemaker, who married the widdow of Nath. Cartwright, an hatter, that built one side of the houses in Swan Ally about the year 1658.

"Sir Pat Fox, his grant of the premisses from the Crowne by

letters patent, dated nono Jacobi, contains the same words verbatim as they are in the grant of the Earl of Kildare. His heire set a lease of the ground without Dames gate unto Cartwright, from whom they now hold the same.

"2. Upon the testimony (given upon a tryall at the Common Pleas, anno 1677) of Rich. Swan, whose father built the houses on the Mill pond, and after whom the place was named Swan Ally, who did declare upon oath before the Court and the Jury, that about 40 years agoe, the inhabitants in the houses built by his father in Swan Ally were assessed and did pay their assessments towards the building of St. Andrew's Church, the Parish" of St. Andrews being at that time, viz., about the yeare 1636 or 1637 about rebuilding their Parish Church.

"3. Upon a tryall and verdict in the Common Pleas in Mich. Terme 28, Caroli secundi, and a judgment after obtained in Hillary following, anno 1677, against Jonath. Northeast and Geo. Southan, churchward of St. Warborows, who distrained upon the corner house in Swan Ally next to Dammes gate upon the goods of John Goulding, plt., and the goods were replevind by Dr. Dopping, who went to an amicable tryall with the Churchwardens of St. Warburgh and took the defence of the title upon him; and accordingly the said Goulding obtained judgment against them, because the house was in Parochia Sti Andreæ, and not in Parochia Sta Werburgæ. And after this, Dr. Dopping received his money from the said Inhabitants, without interruption, in the year 1677, Will Vizer being then church. warden. As to the north side of the way, that leads down to the Councell Chamber and Essex-street; the right of St. Andrews to that depends upon these proofes against the Parish of St. Warburgh.

"1. Upon the Judgment and verdict obtained in the Common Pleas for the south side of the way, from whence it may be inferred that this part belongs unto St. Andrews, as well as the other, since they are defective in their proofs, for that, which was formerly controverted.

"2. From Archbishop Allen's Registry (now in the custody of the Archbishop of Dublin, and his successors), called Repertorium Viride made anno 1532, or thereabout, which lays out the bounds of St. Mary Le Dame in these words:-Parochiani hujus Ecclesiæ sunt inhabitantes Castelli cum paucis aliis.

"3. From the testimony of several witnesses, who can prove that the inhabitants of the North side did, about 50 years ago, pay their assessment towards the rebuilding of St. Andrew's Church,
