This collection contains a client ledger and separate index from Sir Matthew Barrington's legal firm in Limerick city, providing names of clients and details of the legal affairs in which they were involved. The ledger, originally part of a multiple set of volumes, is of considerable historical interest in view of the distinguished client list, which includes both nobility and prominent merchants, and the level of detail provided of their legal affairs.

Softback alphabetical index of clients listed in the ledger (P97/1) and the page number(s) on which they appear. Some names have been crossed out, presumably indicating clients no longer on the law firm's books.
