PETITION of -
MICHAEL CONNOLLY of Roundstone in the County of Galwlay, Shopkeeper,
Sheweth That :- The late Edward Connolly was possessed of a
house in Roundstone attached to which was a License -
He died on the 10th day of December 1915 having made a Will of which I am sole Executor - My Brother has lodged a Caveat against proving
this Willl and although License has been assigned to me
at Petty Sessions that Assignment only held good until
the C liden Sessions held on the 14th of this month -
Mt Brother who is disputing this Will seeks to
establish a Will of an earlier date but I also am entitled
to the licensed premises under the earlier Will - The
Recorder had no power to grant a Transfer of the License
at Quarter Sessions without Probate of the Will of deceas-
ed. The Suit in which I am Plaintiff to prove the
Will of my late Father Edward Connolly is entered for
hearing before a Special Jury of the City of Dublin on
the 17th May next and I pray that I may be allowed to carry on the Business of licensed Publican until the
next Quarter Sessions in June - Dated 28 th April 1916 Michael Connolly
