Annual Report 1866

Annual report and rental for year end June 1866, containing reports on the steady and continuous improvement of the financial affairs of the estate. Also discusses drainage and land improvements particularly the 343 statute acres on either side of the Tullamore Road, and a new project at Ballyknockan flat. Reports that the soil here was particularly poor, and 650 tons of Dublin dairy manure was shipped down the Grand Canal and spread over the land, resulting in a marked improvement in grass growth. Also reports on the completion of the Killeigh main-drain and the Plovers-egg drain at Clonad Wood. Also includes a report on large-scale farming on the estate and the construction of three new farmhouses and a new forge.

On political matters, the report describes the 1865 general election which was contested by Sir Patrick O'Brien, John Gilbert King and Mr. Hennessy (O'Brien and King elected). Provides a detailed breakdown of voting preferences by the tenantry of Geashill Estate, who Trench reports, voted and returned home peacefully 'before the usual excitement attendant on an Irish Election had begun.' Also includes a description of election day in Tullamore, complete with mobs with 'shillelaghs'.

Annual Report 1892

Annual report, accounts and rental showing a decrease in rent owing to judicial and voluntary reductions. Notes that outstanding arrears have increased and abandoned arrears represent mainly rentals of lands set for grazing or temporary purposes. Little to no expenditure reported. Notes that condition of the estate is satisfactory but warns that the coming year will be 'an anxious one and the management of Irish property not likely to be rendered more easy by the relaxation of the law and the encouragement to agitation which is certain to result from recent change in government.'
