December 1765, Irish House of Commons Vote £2,000 to Improve Navigation on Bandon River between Innishannon and Enniskeane, Co. Cork (Money not Spent).

This would have been some time after Sir Richard Cox westwards built Dunmanway and established the Linen industry.

Over the years various schemes including canals were mooted over the River Bandon.

1825, Charges Brought Against Baronial Constables P. Caulfield, John McDonald of Ballydehob, West Cork over their Sectarian Taunting of Thomas Swanton For He Having Changed Religon.

At one stage Ballydehob was known as Swantonstown.

The piece is interesting as it confirms the low regard of the pre RIC policing system, the low states and calibre of he personnel.  It is interesting that the aggrieved party had enough confidence in the Petty Session to bring a charge.  Note the reported comments of the Magistrates over aggravating Religious animosity.

Shorty after the RIC came into being and apart from their role as Protector of the British Interest in Ireland they gave impartial service to the community.
