An old list of Irish household furniture, and its value, from 1730

[scolairebocht]

Possibly some people might be interested in this list of household effects from Ireland of 1730, there is nothing very exciting here but its just an insight into how people lived then.

Among the wills in the Registry of Deeds published sometime back we find mention of a:

“Joshua Nixon, Killenure, parish Ahould, in the half Barony of Shelelah, John Coates of the same, gent.”
(Pauline Beryl Eustace, Registry Of Deeds Abstracts Of Wills, 1708-45 (Dublin, 1956) vol i, p.105-6.)

and it seems that this man's effects after his death had to be properly recorded, in compliance with the orders of some court case, which also recorded each individual value (in the form of the three numbers: pounds, then shillings, then pence).

“The first Schedule to which the annexed answer refers.

A Valuation of the Household Goods & Cattle of Mr. Joshua Nixon late of Killinure deceased, as [prepared by?] Mr John Coates and Mr. Abraham Nixon, taken an Account of this 17th Day of July 1730.

its reported in the middle ages a husband could feed and support a family on 11 weeks work a year .
the remaining time was spent at relations houses and travelling to fairs all around the country and socializing.
the strata of society called yeomen dissapered during the glorious revolution -- a time of great evil .
yoe men held commonage for their herds of animals and lived a frugal lower middle class existence --as a rule they educated their children and this strata supplied the ships captains and middle management and the army officer corps which were officers without purchasing their commission.
they had their feet firmly planted on the ground as they were not fed with silver spoons .
they were a essential section of society which glued it together .
william of oranges backers bribed England elite and set them on an orgy of theft by telling them they could now simply TAKE any catholic property they wished and this extended to the general public and it was not unusual for somebody to enter a church during mass and steal the jeweled cover from the bible at the pulpit .
the elite were told they could seize the commonage of the people which they did and ended the income of the yoemen .
kings regularly rounded up the coin of the realm and held it in the tower of London to ""put manners "" on the people and made it impossible for them to trade for a while .
the people had to resort to clipping ( sawing segments from a coin) the coins as there were frequently no small demonitions available .
they once minted coins which had a higher value melted down and foreigners toured England gathering these coins for export to a more sane country .
wealth and the management of it was changed by the arrival of Sephardi Jews who had the bank of England chartered to them and amalgamated their bank of England with their dutch east India co with the British east India co with its standing army of 288,000 men and navy larger by far than the 70,000 troops James the second had to defend England.
this giant corporation sold half the planets goods and controlled more than half the known world known as the British empire .
they were the people who decided if we would eat and what in the 1800s.
wealth was only for them -they brought out the British navigation acts which ensured no Irishman could import anything to Ireland directly to run his business .
they were and are today supremely evil.

a school pal of mine was the famous George Mealy who held the record for a house sale in Ireland and the gentry of England would pass Sothebys and Christies--- and George would emigrate for a month with staff trucks and much good humour .
he was renowned for christening an item which had no catlouge description and only those who worked for him could tell he was taking the royal piss out of the hundreds of EXPERTS in the hall .
more than a few rare and important Napoleon arch gundels were auctioned off to anyone who was suddenly an expert in same .
He was highly respected and served only the client -no matter what the circumstances --his son George and brother Fonsie continue the trade now over a 100 years old .
as a serious hobby i attend industrial sales in Ireland and England and Scotland is my favorite as anything sold in the midlands has hundreds of bids but the British do not go to Scotland --they believe whatever it is is rusty and shagged and not worth the trouble ,
as a result you can often pick things up for a third of what they sell for in England.
mid ulster auctions is a good source and English councils sell equipment in mid ulster -i got a Ransomes Diesel mower from Sheffield council with a number plate on it as its road going with lights and indicators for half what i would pay here for it.
last week i was in navan where they had a engineering sale --- 11 large fire extinguishers 30 euros was not dear .
some retired people are resellers like me and i buy anything which has a lead and a start stop button and i repair it and grease it and put a new plug and lead and switch if it needs it and i wash and spray it with green hammerite and it transforms it into a visibly new item as factory inspectors like to see new or nearly new gear .

I hope a lot of those pubs on Daft.ie will soon go to auction. Ireland will be bought for a dime.

I hope a lot of those pubs on Daft.ie will soon go to auction. Ireland will be bought for a dime.

please explain --
i had a very senior guy in the pharma industry on my bus last week and some people dont talk to the driver but those with real class enjoy a non corporate conversation with the real world.
i was a little puzzled with our huge success in the pharma game and he named out the usual tax breaks huge capital tax deduct-ability for any and every item used in the factory as he stated other countries foolishly tax businesses trying to put down roots into the factory site --but Ireland in a very practical fashion makes the initial anchoring of the business on Irish soil as painless as possible .
and he said no country was as English literate and educated as the Irish and was in tune with american corporate culture .
all this i knew but what he said next shocked me .
if you are making medicine or have a data center or any food production --- you cant do it in Spain or Texas or Italy --Africa is totally out of the question-- most of north america in out as is most of central and south america .
i was then told the stable temperature in Ireland allows for the manufacture of items without the spending of many millions on regulating temp outside in the 40s and in winter -30 or more .
these extremes make energy un affoardable winter and summer -- as no factory process can cope with such extremes it will shrink in winter and expand and seize in summer as all metal components will GROW .
the hygiene and millions of determined insects/flies /snakes/lizards who find their way into goods manufactured elsewhere causing the dumping of large batches of production and the spotless cleaning of assembly lines which can shut the factory for 3 week periods .
experienced production engineers find themselves in Ireland for reasons which we often are not aware of ourselves --and he joked st patricks day is a big day in the pharma engineers calendar as its the day snakes were banned from Ireland and its pharma factories .
our so called government sent 150 million to zalenksy to buy weapons to kill Russians who are now the only other source of oil .
this was not accidental --its such a mad insane thing for us to do when we knew war was coming .
i detect a big hand here a EU/Jewish hand which rules us behind the nodding donkey miheal .

All that is true, but if the price of electricity doubles, they will reassess somewhere like Indiana . I reckon it would s easier to heat a well insulated building than cool one in Texas

I am talking about buying a pub!!!!

In desperation, they will be sent to auction. Some are lingering on the market for years without a price reduction

why do you want a pub .
i know you had a pub before and you know what you are doing -but is it not a nightmare with thieving staff and hordes of people dreaming of suing you for anything they can dream up .

I have no intention of dealing with the public, it would be a private pub

A Gentleman's Club with special privileges for Select Ladies perhaps ! !

 

[Declan]

For those watching Daft.ie . A few new ones are on the market.

I would pass on all under 600k except for a traditional one in mayo. I must move to the pub thread
