The second one, I think, is

 " To recover possession of a Room,
the property of the complainant
at Clonmel  Borough held by the
week at the weekly rent of 10 pence"

Thanks Greensleeves :D As is usual with family history, I am now left with even more questions.  I wasn't aware that this man owned a pot, let alone rooms and houses!  There are loads more of these records, hopefully now I'll have a better idea of what they say.

Thanks again :)
