Manuscript outline of the career of Charles William Bury, Baron Tullamore etc.

Newspaper cutting from the King’s County Chronicle, reporting on the banquet held in honour of the young Earl’s majority, for which he was astounded, “as all really good people are”. It was observed that down through the ages, the Bury family was praised for acting “paternally towards its tenantry and retainers with an undeviating eye to the solid advantage of the community”, and it was remarked that “Colonel and Mrs. Bury knew everybody”.
The cutting also concerns the marriage of Lady Katherine Beaujolois Arabella, eldest daughter of the late Earl of Charleville with Captain Edmund Bacon Hutton, the Royal Dragoons, Aide-de-Camp to His Excellency Earl Spencer, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, youngest son of William Hutton, Esquire, of Gate Burton, Lincolnshire. The marriage took place at St. Catherine’s Church, Tullamore and was performed by the Reverend Graham Craig, rector.
The bride who was “magnificently dressed and attended by six fair bridesmaids, dressed in white, with pink trimmings”, was given away by her uncle, Colonel Bury. Following the wedding ceremony, the wedding gifts were displayed. The “costly presents” included a gift from the tenants of a tea kettle, a claret jug and a bracelet, while “not the least interesting article on the table was a tea caddy presented to her ladyship by the servants [which was] beautifully wrought in heavy silver”.

Copy lease of that part of the lands of Spollanstown, otherwise Tullamore, bounded on the north by the Great Road from Tullamore, on the south by land in the possession of the Earl of Charleville, on the east and west by land in the Earl of Charleville’s possession. The premises contain 2 acres, 1 rood and 3 perches, situated at Spollanstown adjoining to the town of Tullamore, in the parish of Kilbride, barony of Ballycowan and King’s County. It is proposed to build a new gaol for the King’s County on the lands of Spollanstown provided a presentment has been duly passed by the grand jury for King’s County. The Earl is desirous to lend his aid to its erection before the presentment is passed, and proposes to demise to the commissioners appointed for the erection of the gaol and in trust for that purpose the above premises.
Now in consideration of the sum of 10s. paid to him by Lord Tullamore etc., he demises the premises unto Lord Tullamore etc. from the 1 May last during the term of 999 years, yielding the annual rent of 6d., if demanded, to be paid by two equal half-yearly payments on every 1 May and 1 November. With clause that if the rent remains unpaid within the space of 21 days, it will be lawful for the Earl of Charleville to enter into the premises and distrain and drive away same for satisfaction of the rent.
The further covenant with the Earl that they will not at any time convert or dispose of the said building to be erected for a gaol at Spollanstown for any other use or purpose whatsoever save as a county gaol. With provision that if the gaol is used or converted for any other purpose, then the demise will be null and void.
