Edward Thomas Wakefield was born in Leeson Street, Dublin in 1821. He obtained his BA from Dublin university on May 16, 1846〔London Daily News - Monday 18 May 1846 via British newspaper archive〕 and moved to London to practice as a barrister. The first mention of estates in Ireland was on 12 Jun 1884 when he was in dispute with his tenants over peat rights.〔Freeman's Journal - Thursday 12 June 1884〕 The tenants of his Lurgan estate described him as an absentee landlord. The estate included Portadown House. He died at Margate on 25 June 1896〔Belfast News-Letter - Friday 26 June 1896〕 ==Wakefield v Buccleuch== In 1865 E T Wakefield bought Chapman's Lot, Askam from Thomas Sharpe. The intention was to build an ironworks for the Furness Iron and Steel Co, in which he was a partner, and also a housing estate on his own account. There was an iron mine working here on a lease from the Duke of Buccleuch. When the inevitable subsidance became apparent, Wakefield sought to establish: a, that the duke was not entitled to ore under his land and b, that the duke was not entitled to cause surface damage on his land. Wakefield won his case in 1867 but the verdict was overturned in the House of Lords in 1870.〔Cumbria Records office, Barrow, Bd/BUC/47/3〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward Thomas Wakefield」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
