CSO/RP/1821/36. File of papers relating to problems in County Cork with arrangements for 1821 census to be carried out, under terms of the population act. Includes printed letter from William Shaw Mason, secretary of Records Commission, Records Tower, Dublin Castle, to the magistrates of County Cork, concerning ill-preparedness of some of the baronies of County Cork to carry out the census. ‘It is, indeed, a matter of much regret and surprise, that the concerns of a County, the most extensive, populous and respectable in Ireland, should be so deficient in arrangement, as not to afford the means of carrying this measure into effect with equal ease as in all other places, and that, out of upwards of 200 resident and acting Magistrates, so very few indeed were to be found to undertake the duty entrusted to them by the Legislature, of selecting efficient Enumerators, and superintending their proceedings’, 1 May 1821.
