Understanding Decrees in Chancery
« on: Saturday 21 March 20 16:24 GMT (UK) »
Found a newspaper article which appears to be an announcement that land is going to be sold to the highest and fairest bidder. 2 dates are given 20 January 1846 and 07 November 1847. The Plaintiff is James Hudson Bond. The defendants are Brabazon Disney Sheils, Rebecca Sheils Eccelston, Brabazon's Uncles's wife and James Farrell(not sure his connection). James Hudson Bond is the son-in-law to Brabazon.  My assumption and questions is would James be trying to stop the sale of the land to protect his wife's inheritance when Brabazon dies in 1855? Can't find a marriage settlement for James Hudson Bond and Elizabeth Anne Sheils, so am I sort of on the right path or could there be another explanation why this land is being sold in 1846?
Tried to send the article as an attachment, but wouldn't go through.
Thanks in advance,

Hi Hallmark,
Yes I know and have verified the connection of James Hudson Bond to Brabazon Disney Sheils. I just don't understand why James is the plaintiff against his Father-in-law Brabazon Disney Sheils. My guess was to retain some sort of inheritance for his wife Elizabeth (Brabazon's daughter) or could there have been another reason why the land was being sold?

PS Hope you and your family are well and staying protected from the virus!!
Cheers.

All well and doing out best to stay safe, thanks! Hope yours are too.

There are far too many reasons why he was trying to stop them selling, or trying to get his share etc etc, much of which could be clauses in previous Agreements/ Marriage Settlement/ Inheritances/Contracts.

There might even be a clause that they couldn't sell... Did the sale take place? Did he stop it?? 

Did he find out that the others had 2 or 3 "sitters" to make low bids and fix low sale price?? etc


What was in Marriage Agreement of James Hudson Bond to Elizabeth??

I can’t t find a marriage settlement for James Hodson Bond and Elizabeth Sheils. In 1843-1844 in the Drogheda Journal, Brabazon by himself is trying to sell his Newtown Estate and his land (702 acres) in Newtowndarver. The article also appears in English papers as well. Don’t know where to look to see if his land and home sold but in 1855 in Blackrock, is when Brabazon dies and I only found that by luck in a Belfast newspaper, just a small one line. Brabazon had 3 daughters and one son so very curious why he was trying to sell his home and lands. James Hodson Bond died in 1875 and was living in Dublin.
Is there somewhere I can make inquiries to see if that sale did in fact happen?
Thanks again for any more suggestions👍🇨🇦
