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.

At one stage he had a shop in Cork in the Barrack Stret/Bandon Road area.

In 1821 he was writing proposing that education be provided free of any particular sect.  He was also petitioning for the development of the fishing industry and for his own appointment as a Fishery Inspector in Kerry.  Mr Jago was presumably involved in the fishing industry.

His son John qualified as a barrister and entered a lease with the Bantry Estate for the store and yard in 1844.  His date of birth is 1804 and his mother is Margaret…
