had been previously examined in English but claimed that he had forgotten the
English language. The judge told him that if he did not speak English he would not
be examined, so Meany stepped down. The plaintiff, Baldwin, said he had always
done business with Meany in English. Mr Sheehan, solicitor for the defence, said his
client ‘could tell his story better in Irish’ but County Court Judge Bird Q.C. ‘said he
could tell it as well in English’. Sheehan then pointed out that there was an
interpreter attached to the court but the judge replied ‘For those who speak Irish,
but this man can speak English’ (Southern Star, 13 June 1896, 8).” Judge Bird was the County Court Judge for the West Riding of Cork in Ireland around 1900. He is noted for presiding over an equity civil bill case in 1900 regarding a mortgage foreclosure in Sheehy v Sheehy, where he dismissed the case due to the composition of the debt.
