1765, 4th April, The Freeman, Whereas it has been a custom for Gentlemen to give money to servants after being entertained at dinner by their masters, and as such a custom is contrary to hospitality, and generally attended with many mischiefs to men servants, We the Grand Jury of the County of Corke, being thoroughly persuaded that an immediate stop ought to put to such a practice, have unanimously resolved to suppress it for the future, by neither giving money ourselves, not suffering our servants to take it from others. April 1st 1765.
We the Grand Jury of the County of the City of Cork, do agree to the above resolution or the Grand Jury of the County.
This is signed by 24 people including
