This was part of the radical overhaul of the Irish Justice system post Independence ebay the Free State Government.

They abolished the Magistrates who still sit in Northern Ireland,  This was praised by the former Lord Chancellor Ignatious O’Brien, (Baron Shandon 1857-1930).

When the lord chancellor, Redmond John Barry, retired in 1913 O’Brien was appointed to the vacant post. While he was a hard worker he was neither diplomatic nor forceful enough to be truly effective, and was notorious for his long-winded and self-important judgments. His judicial philosophy favoured sweeping aside precedent and technicalities in favour of substantive justice as he saw it; hence he was on good terms with Peter O’Brien (qv), though he disapproved of his politics, and at odds with Christopher Palles (qv), though he acknowledged Palles’s eminence as a jurist. He greatly enjoyed the social side of his office and the ceremonies and amusements of the viceregal court.

O’Brien was nearly ousted as lord chancellor in 1915 in favour of James Campbell (qv) by the first coalition government – his removal was also sought by T. M. Healy and William O’Brien (qv) (1852–1928) – but was retained after a public outcry orchestrated by the Redmondites, which threatened to affect American public opinion.

He expressed guarded optimism for the future of the Irish Free State, and admired the government of W. T. Cosgrave (qv), praising such decisions as the replacement of JPs by paid district justices and the creation of an unarmed police force. He emerges from its pages as a sensitive and somewhat neurotic meritocrat, haunted at the sufferings inflicted by inefficiency, and believing that the great fault of British administration of Ireland under the union was not so much brutality as stupidity.

Ignatius O’Brien was the youngest son of a struggling Cork business family. After somewhat unhappy experiences at a Cork Vincentian school and the Catholic University of Ireland, he studied to become a barrister while supporting himself as a reporter on Dublin newspapers. Over time he built up a reputation in property and commercial law, and an ultimately successful career led to him being appointed a law officer and later lord chancellor under the post-1906 Liberal governments. 

Bram Stoker apart from writing, Dracula  was a qualified Barrister and spent 12 years as a Civil Servant in Dublin Castle.  When he resigned he was Inspector of Petty Session Clerks.  His guide “The duties of clerks of petty sessions in Ireland’  was used in the Irish District Courts until the mid 1930s

Introduction

Peace Commissioners are appointed (and may be removed from that appointment) by the Minister for Justice under Section 88 of the Courts of Justice Act 1924. The powers and duties of Peace Commissioners consist primarily of:

  • Taking statutory declarations
  • Witnessing signatures on documents if required by various authorities
  • Signing certificates and orders under various Acts

The Courts of Justice Act 1924 gives Peace Commissioners the power to issue summons and warrants. These powers are less frequently used these days. Applications for search warrants should be made to the local District Court.

Right. Hon. James Francis 4th Earl of Bandon (1850-1924). Funeral Obits Constitutional Issue Arising from his Death as an Irish Representative Peer in the British House of Lords.

Right. Hon. James Francis 4th Earl of Bandon (1850-1924) , (see also Bernard) K.P., 1871, Castlebernard, Bandon.  Registered Vestryman of Christ Church, Kilmeen, 1870.  1903, Sale.

Two of the three largest landowners in the Co. His 41,000 acres were sold  post 1903 to the Land Commission on what was regarded as fair terms. At the time 15,000 tenants.  It is likely that his Land Agents the Dohertys Bandon Solicitors received a considerable amount of the proceeds as they had advanced multiple mortgages to Lord Bandon over the years. 1877 appointed Lord Lieutenant for Co. Cork, a position held by his father and grandfather. Married Georgina Dorothy Evans Freke d 7th Lord Carbery and wife Harriet Shouldham, the Dunmanway Shouldhams are descended in the female line from a McCarthy heiress who converted. 1883 President Cork Industrial Exhibition and in 1902-3 patron of Cork Industrial Exhibition. 1900 Knight of St. Patrick. Chairman Bandon Board of Guardians and Bandon Town Commissioners. 1919 elected President  of group proposing a War Monument for Cork.  Castlemahon burned by IRA and kidnapped 1921.    Compensation paid by the Irish Government as follows for the house £37,000, furniture £43,300.  Francis Bernard, great-grandfather of the first Earl, was a lawyer and politician while Francis’ younger brother Arthur is the 7th-great grandfather of Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada.[4][5] James Bernard, father of the first Earl, was a politician.  He died at Princes Gardens London. His funeral service in London was attended by officers of the Cork Artillery.

The family seat, Castle Bernard, built on ruins of former O’Mahony Castle, was one of the great houses burned during the troubles by the IRA  under Sean Hales on 21 June 1921. The home was burned as a counter-reprisal measure against British policy of burning the homes of suspected Irish republicans.

Lord Bandon was kidnapped and held hostage for three weeks being released on 12 July. The IRA threatened to have him executed if the British went ahead with executing IRA prisoners. During his captivity, Bandon reportedly coolly played cards with his captors, who seem to have treated him fairly well. Reportedly, Lord Bandon would give one of his captors, Daniel (Dan) O’Leary (also known an Leabhair, Irish for ‘Book’, based on the fact he was so well read), money each day for Leabhair to travel from the house in Kilcolman townland, to Slatterys pub in Ahiohill to purchase Clonakilty Wrastler (a local beer).

Lennox Robinson (1886-1958) ‘Garden of Sleep’, on the Lost Graveyard of Courtaparteen between Sandycove and The Old Head of Kinsale.

Lennox Robinson (1886-1958) ‘Garden of Sleep’, on the Lost Graveyard of Courtaparteen between Sandycove and The Old Head of Kinsale.

https://www.dib.ie/biography/robinson-lennox-a7727

Robinson, Lennox (1886–1958), playwright and director, was born Esmé Stuart Lennox Robinson on 4 October 1886 near Douglas, Co. Cork, youngest of seven children (of whom twins died in infancy) of Andrew Craig Robinson, stockbroker, and Emily Anna Robinson (née Jones). When Lennox was six years old his father took orders in the Church of Ireland and in 1895 moved his family to Kinsale, and thence in 1902 to the rectory in Ballymoney, west Cork. Owing to ill health, Lennox had little formal education, being tutored at home except for a couple of years spent at Bandon Grammar School up to 1904. At home he read widely, dabbled in music, and edited a family magazine, Contributions. On a visit to the Cork opera house (August 1907) Robinson was greatly influenced by the Abbey Theatre company, then on tour with ‘Cathleen Ni Houlihan’ by W. B. Yeats (qv) and ‘The rising of the moon’ by Lady Gregory (qv). Some months later Robinson wrote his first play for the Abbey, where he made his career.

In the 1920s Robinson tried to move beyond the conventional Abbey ‘peasant’ play into more middle-class, urban material. In ‘The big house’ (1926) he dealt with the theme of the Anglo-Irish caught up in the wars that ravaged his native Co. Cork from 1919 to 1923, and returned to the plight of unionists in southern Ireland in ‘Killycreggs in twilight’ (1937). Regrettably, neither of these plays was as popular as the lighter comedies such as ‘The whiteheaded boy’, ‘The far-off hills’ (1918), and ‘Drama at Inish’ (1933).

Father/Reverend Daniel McCarthy marriage to Sarah Blair,  Blair genealogy, Petition 1820 Dublin Castle, 19th May 2022

Rev Dan McCarthy (Apostatised and married his ward Ms.Sarah Blair) P.P. 1790. He was one of the McCarthy Muclaghs and was known as ’An tAthair Tadgh Na Muclagh’.  His father used to dispute the claim of the McCarthys of Carrignavar the right to the Chieftainship of the McCarthys.  He was influenced by the radical teachings of Voltaire and Rosseau as a student in France.’ He was a classical scholar and acted as interpreter in Bantry between General Dalrymple and the French Officer Prosseau in 1796.  His daughter married John Westropp Carey who lived in Glenlough Cottage on the Northside.

,,

From a descendant:]]

So far as Daniel McCarthy is concerned, he is my 4 x Gt Grandfather . My line from Daniel goes to Robert McCarthy, his son, 1803—1843. Robert was a Printer, and in the 1841 census he was 38 years old and living in Teiers (Friar’s Walk) Walk, St Nicholas Parish, City of Cork. All the children, of school age, were at St Nicholas School.   A sister of Robert, was Margaret McCarthy, 1802-1839, who in 1822 married John Westropp Carey, 1778-1862. A brother of Robert McCarthy was the Rt Reverend Welbore McCarthy, D.D.,  He was, I think twice, the Bishop of Calcutta’s Commissary, i.e. ‘temporary deputy’ and latterly Archdeacon and Archbishop of Grantham. Robert McCarthy had married in 1810, Mary Jane Agar, daughter of the Reverend Charles Welbore Agar, Rector of Inniscarra. Robert and Mary had a number of children. My 2 x Gt Grandfather being the Reverend John Agar McCarthy, 1832-1890, who was a Church Missionary Society missionary in India, and married his wife, Mary Jane Carey, 1831-1915, daughter of Michael Carey of Cork, in Calcutta in 1859. Michael Carey was one of seven Carey brothers, who all served in the Army and Navy at the time of the Peninsular War.  Michael Carey was a Lieutenant in the 83rd Regiment. He was wounded at Talavera, served through the whole Peninsular Campaign under the Duke of Wellington, and received a Medal with eight clasps for his services.  A brother of Michael Carey, Randall Carey was the youngest Midshipman on board the ship that Napoleon was taken prisoner in. As such, he had to receive Napoleon’s sword.  Reverend John Agar McCarthy and his wife, Mary Jane (nee Carey) had seven children, the eldest of which, is my Gt Grandmother, Lizzie Martin McCarthy, who was born in Pershar, on the Indian Afghanistan border in 1860. In the 1871 Census, Reverend John Agar McCarthy was Vicar Designate of St Saviours, Battersea, London. He continued as a Vicar in England until his death in 1890 at Swaffham, Norfolk. His daughter, Lizzie Martin McCarthy married Robert Kohloff Clark, son of the Reverend William Clark, CMS Missionary in India and Ceylon.
