Ltd in Nov. 1939, in reply to them sending sent in their account is typical of the letters to creditors: “the late Lord Ormathwaite’s Estate was insolvent and there was a preferential claim by the Special Commissioners of Income Tax which was not fully satisfied, so that the ordinary creditors received nothing.

According to the schedule to the 1888 Montague mortgage (see W 2), the Ormathwaite estates included properties in Ballygroman, Classis, Coolaclarig, Fergus, Grange and Knockane, Co. Cork, and in Ballydubrig, Ballyhaurigan, Ballyrehan, Cloggercannon, Clonsillagh, Derirehand, Derrimlaught, Derrindaff, Derriorin, Forehan, Fullamore, Gortshannavor, Inchinagulleragh, Lessihane, Kiltean, Killaridd, Knockburrane and Pouldelly, Co. Kerry. The schedule includes the names of the tenants in 1858. Ormathwaite appears to have sold his estate at Ballygroman Lower, Fergus and Grange, all in the barony of Muskerry East, Co. Cork, in 1912, with some at least of the purchase money coming from the Land Purchase Aid Fund under the Irish Land Act 1903. The estate in Co. Kerry appears to have been sold in 1913, when Ormathwaite was credited by the Irish Land Commission with £38,743 2¾% stock and £896 3% stock. Some Irish stock had later to be sold, as it was considered an unauthorised holding by the (British) Public Trustee. A set of observations and answers to the Estate Duty Office of the (British) Inland Revenue, 1922, includes “it [the real estate in Ireland] has all been sold except a few unsaleable holdings value at say £150. All southern Ireland”, and an Irish Free State probate of Ormathwaite’s will (F 5/4) certifies that his estate in the Irish Free State amounted to £71.
