Domvile inherited his title and estates in 1857, including lands of Shankill and Rathmichael, Co. Dublin, which were occupied by 95 families. Within ten years, 85 of these had gone, many of them evicted; others had been forced out by other means. Domvile's aim had been to make these lands more profitable, but he achieved little and was ultimately declared bankrupt.
