  • Cavan Town Commissioners
    Cavan Town Commissioners Archives service Cavan Town Commissioners Cavan Town was governed by the Cavan Town Commissioners during the period 1855-1900. A small amount of archives survive and they were transferred from Cavan Town Hall to Cavan County Archives Service during April 2006. A few documents date from the time of Cavan Borough Commissioners, the municipal body which governed Cavan during the period 1837-1855. These include a letter (4 March 1854) from James Montgomery to the Commissioners requesting the formation of a new Market Jury from the shopkeepers of Cavan as the term of the current jurors will expire at the next Quarter Sessions in Cavan (in CTComm/00006). These documents were found in Cavan Town Hall with those pertaining to the Town Commissioners and due to their small number they have been described here. Cavan Urban District Council (UDC) took over the functions of the Cavan Town Commissioners under the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898. As a result of this, some documents pertaining to the Town Commissioners may be listed with UDC archives. In relation to the archives of the Cavan Town Commissioners, the most important items are two minute books covering the periods 9 March 1868-8 April 1878 (CTComm/00003) and 4 January 1886-30 March 1900 (CTComm/00007). Similar topics arise in both minute books, for instance, the collection of rates, staff issues and the lighting of the town during winter months. The most predominant issues are works to improve sanitary conditions in Cavan and the town’s markets. The latter is a topic that frequently arises in extant correspondence (chiefly, CTComm/00002) and throughout the minute books.

The rules of the estate functioned beyond estate walls, affecting the lives of the tenantry politically, socially, economically, and culturally. This study has revealed how landlord-tenant relations were more complex than has hitherto been recognised. It has also shown how this relationship was significantly altered as the modernised and centralised state began to assert itself more forcefully through increased rules and regulations. Grounded in six case-studies, this research examined relations on estates located in the provinces of Ulster and Connacht.
