The Baker vs Baker case seems to involve a dispute that began when the father of the Baker family, Henry Baker died. It seems that he had been the Treasurer of the county of Dublin, and it appears that his two eldest sons, Thomas and Arthur disputed Henry's will, which resulted in delays to payments due their younger siblings, some of whom are described as infants, resulting in their struggling 'to procure the common necessities of life'. Apparently their mother had already died, as it seems likely that their elder sister Elizabeth had been appointed their guardian, but sadly during the protracted course of this case she died and the guardianship passed on to a certain Matilda Onge[?]. As the years pass by, the tone of Arthur Jones' letters become more frustrated, as he speaks of the 'extreme distress' of the children, and how shamefully they have been deserted 'by those they had every reason to expect kindness from', his own labours in calling on and writing to the various parties day after day, and the trifling and petty nature of the affair.
