and this too:

It might be worth looking a English & Irish court records of the times to find out about what the settlement was about..

Thanks for those links, Robyn. There are two or three Irish marquesses whose names would fit in with the poor handwriting in the original image I posted. I've tried a search of the National Archives catalogue for each of the possibles, but so far come up with nothing. As to researching Irish court records, I'm at a loss to know how to go about it. For now, I think I'll have to content myself with the scrap of knowledge that Henry Page's DDR yields - namely, that my ancestor owned some Irish property of whatever description. The fact that the DDR mentions the balance due on monies owing suggests that a portion of what the court had judged owing to Henry Page had already been remitted.
A little complex for a sunny Sunday morning! IAN
