Disposition

Not our farm (Garth, near Pontypridd). Context only.

What it does and does not establish

The cottage was held “under a lease dated 1878, from the trustees of the Marquis”; the Garth Commoners’ Association said the land was originally part of Garth Mountain Common; the judge referred to “a similar case … Western Ground Rents v. E. Rees”. Shows Western Ground Rents litigating Bute-derived title against a long occupier in 1947. It establishes nothing about Great House Farm.

Next step / retained route

Only relevant if the “Western Ground Rents v. E. Rees” case turns out to concern Llandough land (SOURCE PENDING).

Wording note: a few words of the wiki text are reworded here to follow Cedwyn’s editorial rules; nothing of substance is removed.

Exclusion means “not this property” or “not in scope”, not that the source is false, and not evidence of wrongdoing by itself.
