Release in fee farm of the manor of Mount Eagle Loyall

Release in fee farm, 23 March 1733, of the manor of Mount Eagle Loyall by Henry Arthur Herbert, esq., to Edward Herbert of Killcow, co. Kerry, Sir Maurice Crosbie of Ardfort, co. Kerry, Colonel William Crosbie of Tubrid, co. Kerry, John Fitzgerald of The Dingle, co. Kerry, and John Blenerhassett of Ballyseeda, co. Kerry

Duke of Newcastle, Clumber to the Earl of Powis.

Their vigilant friend and countryman, Kenyon, sent him a blank proxy, which he returned yesterday. He is anxious to be present at the discussion and to support his lordship by every means in his power for he considers the question to be one of vital importance. Moreover, he considers the Commission and its acts and its powers to be a national nuisance which has been and can only be productive of grievous injury to the Church and the State. What has been gained by the suppression of bishoprics in Ireland and England? 'Nothing but loss, and what must be thought in High Heaven of our proceedings here below, when on the altar of a worthless, senseless, and wicked expediency, we sacrifice even the cause of Religion itself.' His lordship, however, is fighting a good fight. He shrinks from appearing in the House of Lords. Besides, he has been by no means well. He ought to have reported to his lordship the exceedingly gratifying account of the examination of his lordship's son at Eton, particularly in Divinity.
