File of papers relating to legal dispute between government and William Ogilvie, regarding Ogilvie's entitlement to castle maze [ancient herrings custom] in Ardglass harbour, County Down, and specifically, to financial compensation from the Irish fisheries board, for his relinquishing his right

SCOPE & CONTENT:

File of papers relating to legal dispute between government and William Ogilvie, regarding Ogilvie's entitlement to a castle maze [ancient herrings custom] of herrings in Ardglass harbour, County Down, and specifically, to financial compensation from the Irish fisheries board, for his relinquishing his right. File contains letters, petitions, legal case notes, legal opinions, and copy deeds, produced and sent in the course of the dispute, between 1820 and 1825. It also contains related material touching on Ogilvie's extensive works and improvements to the harbour at Ardglass at this time. In particular, it contains correspondence between Ogilvie and the Irish government, a series of copies of letters between Ogilvie, government and the commissioners of Irish fisheries on the subject, correspondence with William Kemmis, crown solicitor, Dublin, and several legal case notes, annotated with the opinions of Henry Joy, Solicitor General of Ireland, and William Conyngham Plunket, Attorney General of Ireland. An additional complication to this lengthy file is caused as a result of the various papers, and copies of those papers, being sent backwards and forwards between the Chief Secretary's Office at Dublin Castle, the Irish Office in London, Irish Fisheries Office in Dublin, and the Treasury in London, during the course of the protracted legal dispute. The file includes letter from Henry Townsend, Irish Fishery Office, Dublin, secretary to the commissioners of Irish fisheries, to William Gregory, Under Secretary, Dublin Castle, 13 June 1822, enclosing, as requested by the Lord Lieutenant, copies of 'the Correspondence on the Subject of Mr Ogilvie's Claims to Harbour dues at Ardglass': these copy letters are numbered by Townsend from 1-19, 6 April 1820-16 October 1821 [they are all present except No.7]. File also includes copy letter from Alexander Mangin, first clerk in civil department, Chief Secretary's Office, Dublin Castle, to George Harrison, Treasury Chambers, London, assistant secretary to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, 15 June 1823, responding, as requested, to a petition from Ogilvie, to the Lords of the Treasury, seeking remuneration in return for relinquishing his rights to a maize [sic] on herrings from every vessel fishing for herrings in Ardglass harbour; Mangin encloses a letter from Townsend, Irish Fishery Office, Dublin, to Gregory, on Ogilvie's application. Refers to the copy letters marked 'No.13' and 'No.19', [see above], noting that, 'the Commissioners of Fisheries did not at any time entertain the idea of settling by compromise the Claims of Mr Ogilvie to Harbour Dues in the Harbour of Ardglass, but that on the contrary, they distinctly declined acceding to Mr Ogilvie's proposal. The object of the Enquiry of the Commissioners was merely to ascertain their own power to resist altogether the payment of dues so Injurious to the Fisheries of Ireland', 13 June 1823. File also includes letter from Ogilvie, 12 Chester Street, Pimlico, London, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, concerning the unfavourable opinion of the Attorney General against Ogilvie's claims, and seeking to obtain a copy of his opinion. Apologies for appearing 'troublesome' on the subject, but emphasises his 'defense [sic] of a Property derived to me with an uninterrupted Possession of upwards of 100 years, and supported by the Opinions of Men of the first Eminence', 22 January 1823. Also includes letter from Ogilvie, 12 Chester Street, to Henry Goulburn, Chief Secretary, Dublin Castle, expressing his surprise that, 'the Crown Lawyers have given it as their opinion, that I have not a legal title to the Little Customs in Ardglass Harbour, of which the Duty of Castle Maize is one'; he details his title to the dues, as secured by letters patent from King Henry VIII and King Charles II, as well as being 'sanctioned by various Acts of the Irish Parliament'. Also refers to his dealings with the commissioners of Irish fisheries, and complaining of their handling of the matter, 7 March 1823. File also includes a printed statement entitled, 'The Title of William Ogilvie Esq. to the Little Customs of Ardglass Harbour, in the County of Down, Ireland; of which Little Customs, the Duty of Castle Maize and Castle Fish is the Principal', 3 April 1823. Also note from Sir Charles William Flint, Irish Office, London, under secretary of Irish Office, to Thomas Taylor, clerk, Chief Secretary's Office, Dublin Castle, 18 June 1823, enclosing a copy of a letter from Ogilvie, to Flint, concerning papers relating to his case, 18 June 1823. Flint observes that, 'This question of Castle Maize has tormented us all sadly; - and I really hope that it will be fairly submitted to the Law officers of the Crown & disposed of definitively…'. Also letter from Ogilvie, Ardglass Castle, to Goulburn, expressing regret that the crown law officers have once again rejected his legal claim to the duties. Emphasises the legal opinions he obtained which were favourable to his case, including those of Sir Henry Dampier; John Lens, King's Ancient Sergeant; and Sir Thomas Edlyne Tomlins, counsel to the Irish Office in London, 16 September 1823; with subsequent annotation by Goulburn. Also letter from Ogilvie, Gresham's Hotel, Dublin, to Goulburn, concerning his legal title to a custom of castle maize in Ardglass harbour; recalls that, 'Before the appointment of the Commissioners of Irish Fisheries, I was in quiet possession of the Custom of Castle Maize. But on their appointment, I received a Letter from them, stating that That They intended to appoint Ardglass the Rendezvous for the Herring Fishery on that Coast, if I would forbear to levy Any Harbour Dues on the Vessels employed in the Fishery - My Answer was that the Fishery Act gave me the Power to levy Harbour Dues on Vessels employed in the Herring Fishery, in the Harbour of Ardglass, for the Support of the Harbour: but that wishing to encourage the Fishery, I would forbear to levy Anchorage or any other Dues, except the custom of Castle Maize which I had appropriated to the Support of the Works - for which no Fund had been provided - But if they considered extinguishing the Custom to be essential, as an Encouragement to the Fishery, I was willing to accept a Compensation, to be applied to the same Object as the Custom, the Support of the Harbour, and adding that, in compliance with their wishes, I should suspend levying the Castle Maize, to allow them Time to examine my Titles'. Ogilvie emphasises the money that has been lost in Castle Maize over past 4 years, and he urges the Irish government to establish an equivalent fund for support of the harbour, 3 August 1824. File also includes further letter from Ogilvie, 12 Chester Street, London, to Gregory, Dublin Castle, concerning the numbers of vessels engaged in the herring fishery, that have frequented the harbour of Ardglass in the years 1821, 1822, 1823, and 1824, and referring to a proposed compromise on the subject, and his agreement to accept 'a reduced sum' on duty payable by each vessel, 'which is the sum being imposed on Vessels fishing for herrings in the opposite Harbours of the Isle of Man', 16 February 1825; he encloses a copy of the relevant legislation applied to the Isle of Man: Isle of Man Harbours Act 1814, 54 Geo III chapter 143.
