Dublin help please?

To add: I found a historical map (1847) showing exactly where Cummins Court used to be. You'll find it in the upper right quadrant in the city block directly above the bolded words, "JAMES' STREET".

McCready says (in 'Dublin Street Names Dated and Explained' from 1892):

Cumming's ct. (S. Bride Str) 1766

 I found a historical map of Dublin showing exactly what I said above. There’s a link to the map in that post.

Although I am not in a testy humour, I asked almost 15 years ago which C. Court this item related to but somehow I have missed a definitive answer.
Would some reader enlighten us and if necessary have this item divided with separate entries for both places with a cross reference in each

Were you Quaxer back in September 2009?

You can click 'Report to moderator' and ask for this thread to be divided to your liking.

Yes, I was Quaxer in 2009. Division seems to me a reasonable solution. It is not my liking which counts but the convenience of all readers and responders. Consequently, I shall not press the issue.

 here’s a historical map of Dublin from 1847 showing that Cummins Court was exactly where I said it was:

You stated that your research continues re Cummins Court off James' Street West so I state below some items which may be of general interest to you
  The Irish Times Newspaper shows
     21st May 1889 Page3  John M'Evoy (porter)  Charged with murder  (no house no. given)
      7th May 1889  Page 8 Advert.  Nos.1-8  For Auction  Held for ever
     21st May 1881  Page 6  James Whelan (of No.3)  Fatal Fall

When a fiche viewer becomes available I can look at Directories for 1839, 1842 and 1846 if you so desire.

  Shaw's Pictorial Directory 1850  shows the Court as being set in Tenements

[dublin1850]

There was more than one Cummins court.

1873:

South City No. 1 would cover the top one.
South City No. 2 would cover the bottom one.
