______________________________________________________________

COLCLOUGH v MULLINER 1795. 1 Espinasse Reports P460 Nisi Prius. Stafford Assizes. The plaintiff was the owner of land let to Mulliner who encroached on common and other land of Colclough and unsuccessfully claimed squatters rights in respect of them. The report does not identify Colclough.

COLCLOUGH v GAVEN 1815. 3 Dow's Reports P267 or 3 English Reports P1062. Rev. Dudley Colclough married the daughter, Mary of Luke Gaven who by his will left property to each of his three daughters and his son William. Colclough's intervention was merely representing his wife's interests.

COLCLOUGH v BOLGER 1816. 4 Dow's Reports P54 or 3 English reports P1087 (House of Lords). This was the first of a number of cases involving the unfortunate Caesar Colclough M.P. of Tintern. His father Sir Vesey Colclough of Mocurry (i.e. Duffry Hall, Enniscorthy) born 1745, married 1765 Catherine daughter of John Grogan of Wexford was born posthumously and in 1766 inherited Duffry, Tintern &c on the death of his grandfather Sir Caesar C. But only for a life estate. He had two sons, Caesar, the plaintiff, born 1766 and John born 1767 who was noted as having died unmarried. The report says "Sir Vesey was improvident and extravagant and given to excessive dissipation". He raised money by granting leases, mortgages extending beyond the period of his life estate. In 1772 Joseph Johnson who had married one of Caesar Colcloughs daughters (i.e. Vesey's grand-aunt), applied to the court for accounts to be taken. When Vesey died in 1794 the plaintiff was a prisoner of Napoleon in France. The effect of the case generally was that Vesey's encumbrances on the estate were set aside.

COLCLOUGH v STERUM 1821. 3 Bligh's Reports, House of Lords, P186. This is a further case on facts almost identical with Colclough v Bolger but establishes the principle of law that on a sale of land by order of the court the purchaser has a duty to see that the terms of the order have been strictly observed.

(Note. Ulick Sadleir who was Deputy Ulster King of Arms in the early part of the present century had made some study of Caesar and Vesey Colclough's deplorable doings and discovered that they had just on 30 illegitimate children all of whom were given the name of Colclough - the last was named George Washington Colclough - and very adequate financial provision made out of the proceeds of his various frauds with the Tintern and Duffry estates).

SWAN v COLCLOUGH 1834. Hayes and Jones Reports P607 Patrick Colclough leased some lime and gravel workings from Graves Chamney in Kildavin and Ballychaigneau, Wexford. On his death in 1817 his son, Patrick Sarsfield Colclough (then 14 years of age) inherited the remainder of the leases and in 1826 sublet part of the land to Adam Colclough. Swan who was the personal representative of Chamney claimed damages and injunctions in respect of the waste and devastation which the Colcloughs had perpetrated on his land and evidence was given of the details of what the court described as "the extraordinary activities of the Colclough family".

COLCLOUGH v BOYSE 1857. 6 House of Lords Reports P1. 26 Law Journal Chancery Reports P256. 10 English Reports P1192 House of Lords.

BOYSE v ROSBOROUGH 1854. 3 De Gex MacNaghten and Gordon's Reports P817. These are the reports of the Colclough case which lasted for nearly 13 years and resulted in the Rosboroughs evicting Caesar Colclough's widow from the estates and upsetting his will. In the English Reports series the report of the final judgment covers some 25 large pages and in some of the others it is even more extensive. It contains a great amount of detail about Caesar's life and last days at Cheltenham.

Re COLCLOUGH 1858. 8 Irish Chancery Reports P330. Proceedings in the Encumbered Estates Court. In 1806 Patrick Colclough obtained a grant of land including Kildavin and subsequently by his will left £500 each of his grand-daughters and to his grandson Patrick Sarsfield Colclough. In 1826 Patrick Sarsfield granted a 19-year lease of the land to his father Sarsfield C. Mary Brennan was one of the grand-daughters, the other three being Julia, Margaret and Anne, wife of Nicholas Brennan. Patrick Sarsfield Colclough is described in the report as "or Adam Vesey Colclough".

COLCLOUGH v SMITH 1864. 10 Law Times reports, P918. Under a lease for life made in 1719 the interest vested in Harriet Colclough and the reversion in Thomas James Smyth. At the renewal of the lease in 1803 the last survivor was Bridget Colclough who died in that year and the property vested in Beauchamp Colclough younger son of Beauchamp Colclough of Zion Hill Carlow (aged 15 at the time of the action) in 1805 Bridget had two sons Beauchamp and Henry of Zion Hill. Beauchamp who was 9 at the time of the action and the court had to decide which was which. Beauchamp born in 1788 died in 1858 and Beauchamp born in 1794 died in 1845.

COLCLOUGH (Anne) v COLCLOUGH (Beauchamp Henry) 1870. 4 Irish Reports P263. Sarah McCarty died in 1797 and by her will left land in Dublin to her niece Bridget Colclough otherwise McCarty and part to Henry Colclough Bridget's eldest son to Beauchamp Colclough, Bridget's younger son. Bridget Colclough died intestate and unmarried. Beauchamp had nine children - John, Beauchamp Urquhart, Alexander, Henry, Guy Carleton, Marie, Bridget, Arabella and Harriet. Henry died in 1825 intestate without issue. Guy Carleton died in 1837 leaving a son Beauchamp Henry (the plaintiff). John died in 1849 without issue leaving an estate whereby all his estate passed to his wife Anne. The other sons were all dead by 1870. Marie died in 1830 intestate without issue. Alexander and Arabella both died under age without issue. Beauchamp died in 1847 having made a will.

In the Goods of COLCLOUGH 1992. 2 Irish Reports P499 George Bolton Colclough died intestate 25 Feb. 1890, widower, leaving surviving children Fanny, George Bolton Jnr., Sarah (wife of James Usher), Ellen, Charles, James, Nanny and Henry. His assets consisted of a farmhouse know as Barna, Kilkenny, farming stock and personal estate to a gross value of £208. On 25 March 1890 letters of administration were granted to his son George Bolton C. who merely paid some debts and funeral and administration expenses and on 31 July 1900 emigrated to Victorian, Australia, his address being unknown, leaving the residue unadministered. The grant was revoked and administration de bonis non made to Henry Colclough.

In the goods of JOHN COLCLOUGH. 19 Law Reports Ireland P235. Probate, April 29 1887. John olclough died 2nd October 1853 seised, with other considerable property, of the lands of Finnstown, Dublin and by will dated 23 Jan. 1853 left to his wife Catherine for life with remainder to his children the whole of his estate. He left 8 children of whom one was Constantine who died intestate 2 April 1883 and whose share was later vested in Thomas, another of the children who later assigned it to William Lynam and Bernard Gerrard as trustees for Mary Colclough, Henry Vesey Colclough obtained administration to John Colclough be bonis non on 8 July 1883.

Hawkins having sued John Colclough for assault, battery and false imprisonment the parties agreed to leave the assessment of damages to arbitration. The arbitrator appointed, who was a cobbler, put the damages at 5/-. The Chancery Court on 5 May 1757 upheld this award on the grounds that the cobbler was a simple man who had dealt with the matter honestly according to his own limited understanding and that as Hawkins had agreed to his appointment in the first place he could not subsequently object on getting the award.
