Irish Chancery Court 1848

[acookey]

Hullo all from (overcast and rainy Qld at the moment)

Can anyone give me some advice as how to find a Chancery Court matter from 1848.  I found a reference to the matter in the Freeman's journal of November 1848, but it did not contain the whole story, only the finding.   

I believe that the Chancery records survived the 1922 fire, but emails to the Irish Law Library have failed to get any response as has an email to the Archives.

This is the newspaper article from 13 November 1848.  I believe that the Robert Pasley mentioned could be my ggrandfather.

"Court of Chancery.
In the Matter of Lord Lurgan, a minor.
Mr Tomb QC applied on behalf of Lady Lurgan, the guardian of the minor,
that the report of the Master in this case be confirmed.  The object of
the proceeding was, that the furniture and plate belonging to the late
Lord Lurgan (which had been by his will left to Lady Lurgan) should be
purchased from her Ladyship for the minor, Mr Robert Pasley, of
Bachelors Walk, Dublin, and Mr Dowell, of Edinburgh to be appointed to
value the property, with power to call in a third person, if necessary.
The report also recommended that certain releases and renewals of
leases, sought for Lurgan Gas Company and others, should be executed.
The court granted the motion"

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

According to the NA Ireland, the Chancery Court papers didn't survive the 1922 fire.
I enquired a few years ago about a Chancery Court case that lasted 1814-1847 and they had no reference of it.
I was lucky enough to find reference to the case in "The Jurist" by using google book search. 9 whole pages of it  which outlined the desputed will, which was also destroyed in the fire and the case. 
I last week I was in Ireland, researching in the Registry of Deeds office, and found reference to the initial marriage settlement in 1778 which the whole case seemed to hinge on.

I'm surprised there was ever a case! The marriage settlement and Will looked straightforward to me, but then when lawyers and barristers smelled money they appeared to dragged it out!   

to add, there may be a memorial in the Reg of Deeds, Dublin, as leases had to be transferred....  the LDS has films of the indexes and also by year.
Could be a long haul
