- Professor Crowley, was born in New Haven, Connecticut, to Irish parents. Having received his education at Yale and Princeton universities, he became professor of French at the University of California, Los Angeles.
- In his will he bequeathed most of his estate to the Republic of Ireland to be used for the preservation of records of the history of the Irish people.
Aims of project
- The Crowley Project aims
- to catalogue the Chief Secretary’s Office Registered Papers (CSORP) from 1818 to 1852 to international archival descriptive standards in order to facilitate public access
- to preserve the papers in order to maintain their physical condition

The parts of the 1880s adn 1890s are like somethin from the Stasi failed in East Germany, nothing is too small to document. The theft of a goat, burning of a hay rick a seditious sermon preached.

Cork Magistrates who got Statutes 1823.
Cork Magistrates:
Cork Magistrates, 10th June 2019.
Most of the magistrates were Protestant Landlords or Church of Ireland Clergymen. Until Disestablishment 1870 this was the Irish State Church and apart from religion performed quite a number of civil functions administered by the Minister, Select Vestry and Churchwardens.
From around this time on more Catholics were appointed Magistrates some had been appointed since the 1790s. This was supplemented by (RMs) Resident Magistrate’s to remedy a widely believed bias among the Magistrates. By the early 20th century probably most of the appointment wee those who were Catholic and Nationalist due to the influence the Irish Parliamentary Party on various British Governments.
