Newspaper cutting from The Leinster Reporter regarding the coming of age of the Earl of Charleville, “for whom there has ever existed a sympathy which doubtless was intensified in degree by the early loneliness of an interesting child without father of mother”. Reared by a “fond uncle”, the Honorable Colonel Bury, the young earl was brought up to be an Irishman, “loving his native isle and doing his duty in the sphere”. The town of Tullamore have made every preparation for the celebration of the Earl’s birthday, with “every conceivable kind of splendid illuminations and grand festooning” decorating the scene. An address was also presented to Lady Katherine, the Earl’s sister, on her forthcoming marriage, which was accompanied with “an elegant souvenir, consisting of a handsome silver tea kettle on stand with suitable inscription, and a gold bracelet”. A comment was made that the townspeople have made every preparation possible, well in time for a dinner for the Earl and some 200 of his friends in the Court House later in the week.

File of newspaper clipping concerning the tragic death of Lady Harriet Hugh Adelaide Bury, second daughter of the late Earl and Countess of Charleville, who fell down the stairs at the family seat, Charleville Castle, Tullamore. Lady Harriet, described as “a fine, promising child” was only seven years old. Following the death of her father, she, with her brother and sister were “made wards of Chancery” and resided with one of their guardians, the Hon. Alfred Bury in the family residence, Charleville Castle, “who watched over them and their bringing up with paternal care and solitude”. The accident happened when returning from the nursery after washing her hands, she attempted to slide down the banister, “which was highly polished and as slippery as glass”, and lost her balance and fell.

Newspaper cuttings concerning the funeral of the late Earl of Charleville, who died at Staten Island, New York, USA, aged only 22 years and 5 months, and who was buried in the family vault at Tullamore Church. The respect of the Charleville family and the grief of the inhabitants manifested itself in “a scene of mourning as is seldom witnessed”. It was observed that “without a single exception, the shops closed, and from an early hour in the morning the tenantry crowded into town”. The coffin was borne by the four principal tenants and two head gamekeepers, while the funeral “was conducted on the most unostentatious principles…[in accordance with the Earl’s wishes] …no scarfs or hatbands being worn”.

Newspaper cutting concerning the presentation of a congratulatory address to the Earl and Countess of Charleville, on their coming to reside permanently in Charleville Forest, Tullamore. The address included a reference to “the great advantage our town has always derived from the residence of [his] family, or the interest taken by them in the welfare of its inhabitants”. In the Earl’s reply, he observed that “a landlord is not in his proper place unless he is a constant resident, expending what he receives amongst his tenantry, and promoting their interest to the best of his judgment”. Following the presentation, a “sumptuous dejeune” was served in the Castle where “every delicacy and rarity of the season was in abundance, and the various wines which graced the board were of the rarest and finest vintage”.

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.
