Original incoming and copy outgoing correspondence relating to the administration of Glenamoy Estate, Ballina, Co. Mayo under James Boland Esq. Matters referred to include a planned trip by Digby and his sister to the West of Ireland to visit Glenamoy River; notice of returns for all salmon, sea-trout and eels caught during the year ending 1931; the Erne Case in the Supreme Court Decision; letter from the Department of Lands and Fisheries requesting the total amount of Salmon and sea-trout captured by anglers on waters owned or leased by Lord Digby in Bangor; payment of fishery rates; requests from several parties to Lord Digby for permission to fish in the Glenamoy River; details of a report by the Land Commission into damage caused by flood in the Glenamoy district.

Letter from the Secretary of The Salmon Fisheries Protection Association: “I beg to apply to you for the renewal of Lord Digby’s subscription £2 2s to the Association in accordance with rule 4, under which subscriptions become payable on the 1st July in each year. The position with regard to the necessity for co-operation amongst Fishery Owners continues as insistent as heretofore. The Supreme Court has not as yet given a decision in the Erne case, and it is considered that this decision will be almost certain to affect every other similar Fishery in the Free State”. (15 July 1931)

Letter from Goodbody to Superintendent W Burns “Replying to yours of the 16th inst, on behalf of Lord Digby I have pleasure in giving you permission for a day’s shooting over his property at Glenamoy. There is a very decent man living behind the Lodge called Michael Healy, who will show you the boundaries and the best ground, and if you will show this letter to either him or Mr Boland, it will be all right for you … and the only thing I ask of you is to kindly let me know what your bag was, because I keep a record of the fishing and shooting, and I want to enter it up.” (17 November 1931)

Letter from Boland to Kennedy: “If Lord Digby gets a good offer for ‘shooting and fishing combined’ he should make a sale for a fortnight. The place has not been properly shot for years and still there seems to be no increase in the supply of birds just a few packs with several pairs of old birds and many old creeks and it would be better shoot the whole place out. As to the fishing this has been an abnormal year thousands of salmon have gone up stream. Hundreds are illegally netted on the Land Commission Property and sold to hawkers for 3d a lb. The sergeant caught a trio one night with 15 white trout 5 salmon and a new net. There will be a prosecution (not on Lord Digby’s). This will put a little stop to the poaching” (19 August 1933).
