By Gilbert Fitz = Gerald, Esquire, one of his Majesties Justices of the peace for Carlow.

Whereas complaint hath been made unto me on the Oath of Michael Boyle of Scradriff, Carlow, Mason, that he was Imployed by Darby Nowlan of Corries to work Mason work for which service in Mason work there remains due unto Michael Boyle by Darby Nowlan the Sum of Six Shillings and six pence.

And Where as Darby Nowlan by virtue of my power being duly summoned to appear before me to shew cause why said wages should not be paid there and then Darby Nowlan did appear.

And Where as the Settlement of the work wages was by consent of each party left to the Arbitration of John Baker of Ballinree and Michael Nowlan of Ballyloughen (no relation to Darby Nowlan).

Therefore John Barker and Michael Nowlan could not agree and according to the adward sent in Writing unto me John Baker called a third Man of the Name of William Hench which gave a verdict in writing that the sum of six shillings and six pence Sterling is Justly due unto Michael Boyle by Darby Nowlan.

Therefore I do order Darby Nowlan to pay unto William Boyle the above amount due for wages together with ten pence Cost for this Order.

Given under my hand at Montgerald this 14th day of March 1818.
