U/2/1: Brief on behalf of Richard Aldworth, Esq., Plaintiff, prepared for John Wilmot, Attorney, 'on a trial by Nisi Prius at Cork on Friday the 15th day of August 1800' brought against George Stannard, defendant, regarding trespass with horses and hounds on close lands on Newmarket Estate on 20 November1799.

of them killing a deer on Lord Egmont's estate, but 'I have not heard that they first hunted or endeavoured to find Game on your estate but found elsewhere and pursued a [sic] into it'. 6pp

U/2/2: Brief on behalf of Richard Aldworth, Plaintiff, prepared for Daniel O'Connell ['The Liberator'], attorney, 'for trial at Nisi prius' at Cork Summer Assizes 1819, against William Lowe, Defendant, regarding gaming rights on lands at Bohus and Knockanebawn. The 1639 grant of the Manor of Newmarket, including rights of 'free park and free warren', is briefly summarised. There follows a 'Pedigree of the Aldworths since their coming into '. It is stated that the Newmarket estate has been in the family since the reign of Elizabeth, with the first patent obtained in the reign of James I. Various leases are then recited, including one of 1722 'of lands of Comericonnell (now called Buhus) and the lands of Drumadda' [to Nicholas Philpott, renewed in 1811 to Nicholas Leader]; lease of 1719 of the mountain farm of Mileenicerig and Turin McAuliffe [to George Stannard, renewed in 1808 to Josias Dunn for Henry Heard]; lease of 1722 of east part of Knocknagarrigy [to , renewed in 1797 to Peter Deane]; lease of 1722 of 'town and lands of the north side of Rowell, commonly called the far Rowell' [renewed in 1803 to Robert Langford]. It is stated that these lands 'consist for the most part of mountain peculiarly suited for sporting and more especially for shooting grouse upon'. It is explained that Aldworth built a sporting lodge in the vicinity and has always exercised his sporting rights, both by sporting himself and 'by delegating or granting liberty to sport thereon' to his friends. Aldworth has preserved the grouse and appointed game keepers, but has allowed tenants to shoot on their own land. Last season, however, a William Allen, a Cork Butter merchant with an interest in one of the holdings, insisted he would shoot on that holding and on other lands with permission from the tenants. Arthur Kenny, game keeper, was sent on 20 August to warn off Allen and his party, which included his brother in law, William Lowe. Kenny reports that he saw them shoot grouse on lands at Bohus and Knockanebawn, and that none of the party could produce licence or authority from the plaintiff. Kenny reports that he met the party again on 24 August and was threatened by them. He cites David and Daniel Curtin, farmers, as witnesses [informations deposed by all three attached]. A separate action is being taken against William Allen. There follow further remarks on the case and on the plaintiff's title and rights, a list of suggested proofs required, a fuller summary and analysis of the 1639 grant, and legal comment. It is thought that the action 'for interfering with the plaintiff's right of free park or free warren' is a 'novelty'. Legal opinion [by O'Connell, folio 22] advises on proving and corroborating title and gaming rights, noting 'the most usual evidence of manorial rights is found in the exercise of the jurisdiction of the manorial courts'. 22pp

Baldwin Letters Ref. IE CCCA/U6 Date: 1788-1853 Level: series Extent: 41 items (xerox copies) Scope and Content: The present collection covers three generations of Baldwins and Murphys, from the older John Baldwin [died c1819] to his grandson John Baldwin Murphy, to whom the latest items present, letters from Bianconi from 1853, are addressed. The letters cover a range of subjects, but by far the most recurring is the financial difficulties

encountered by family members attempting to establish themselves in the world, or to support their family and its respectability in the face of economic hardship. The letters of James Baldwin, brother of John, document his efforts to find a position in English society, culminating in his securing a secretaryship with the Duke of Bedfordshire at Woburn Abbey but having to travel there ‘without even a change of linen’ (U6/8). John Baldwin’s own financial problems created difficulties, with his son Edmund being obliged to give up his property to allow income for himself and his sisters to be provided (U6/25). Commissions and other expenses for his son John Junior’s military career also weighed heavily (U6/12). His daughter Mary Anne was taken in by her sister Biddy Murphy and her husband Mick following her father’s death, and her place as a pupil at the Ursuline School in seems to have been paid for by Bianconi (U6/30, 34). John Baldwin Junior’s military career saw him serve in the British army in Spain and Portugal during the Peninsular War, while he later served in Columbia, where he lost his brother James and suffered imprisonment and injuries from which he never fully recovered. Financial difficulties including the extravagance of his wife led to his returning to Columbia in later years, taking his similarly unfortunate brother Edmond with him. (U6/14-24) Bianconi’s letters to Mary Anne Baldwin show his affection and concern for her and the Baldwin and Murphy families (U6/30-35). This warmth of feeling persists in his later letters to John Baldwin Murphy, which make reference to Bianconi’s acquisition of property in Ireland, and to political developments in Ireland and Italy (U6/36-40). The letters to John Baldwin Murphy from his brothers Michael and Daniel in America, while optimistic in tone, are poignant as well as informative in their depiction of settler and emigrant life and the hardships involved (U6/27-29). The collection also contains letters by other family members, including Mary Anne Baldwin, Thomas Baldwin, and John Ryan, a family friend (U6/41). William Bourk (Burke) of Braenor, brother-in-law to the elder John and James Baldwin (married to their sister Biddy), and Mick Murphy of Ballymore, husband of Biddy Baldwin (sister of John Junior, Edmund, Mary Anne, and Eliza), are important correspondents. See also Descriptive List.

U7/8 is a print of a technical sketch showing interior plan of wooden building with stairs, containing two machines, each with two large circular pieces over a cup-like metal base, similar to that shown in U007/7. Undated. (35cm X 19cm)

U7/9 is a page from the Evening Echo newspaper of Saturday January 25, 1958, containing the following item: ‘Around the South in 1859, The Explosion at the Ballincollig Mills; The Battle of Bridges, by John T Collins’. The article includes an account of ‘a dreadful explosion’ at the Mills on 6 August 1859, ‘by which five workmen lost their lives’.

The collection sheds some light on the history of the Gunpowder Mills and documents some buildings and features from an industrial archaeology perspective.

Bandon Board of Ref. IE CCCA/BG/42 Date: 1839-1925 Level: fonds Extent: 118 volumes Guardians Scope and Content: The minutes of Bandon Board of Guardians (BG/42/A) provide one of the most extensive records of the period of the (1845-49) as it was experienced in , one of the most severely affected regions in the country. Whereas several other west Cork unions only came into being in 1849-50, the Bandon Union was in existence from 1839 until its abolition in 1924 (only three volumes in the series are missing). Its dealings with the other unions in the region, especially at their creation and in the final years of the workhouse system, are also well documented. For instance, a quarter of places in Bandon Workhouse were reserved for inmates prior to completion of the Clonakilty workhouse in 1851. After Bandon workhouse was burned down in 1921, remaining inmates not discharged were transferred to Clonakilty. The ordinary minutes include statistical information on workhouse inmates and details of workhouse life and administration. From the 1850s the volumes contain minutes of proceedings under the Medical Charities Acts and, from the 1870s, the Public Health Acts, documenting the board’s increasing role in health and sanitation, and the work of dispensaries and medical officers in the dispensary districts. Twentieth century minute books also document the boarding out of orphaned and deserted children. The selections from the minutes summarized or quoted in the descriptive list focus on the Famine period and on the final years of the Union. Some volumes from other years are highlighted to give a sense of the work of the board of guardians at different times throughout its existence, for example, following the passing of the Public Health Act 1878, and after the radical change affected by the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 1898, which saw Rural District Councils come into being. One draft minute book (BG/42/AA/1: 1839-1845) is also present. The collection also contains financial records, including general ledgers (BG/42/CA), a financial statements book (BG/42/CD), and a bank book (BG/42/CL), documenting annual accounts and daily transactions of the union, particularly in its final years. Also present is a ’s Journal (BG/42/F/1) recording reports by the master of the workhouse, prepared for meetings of the board. In addition, there is a weekly tobacco account book (BG/42/FK), an unusual item documenting the distribution of tobacco to inmates by the master. Unfortunately, only one indoor relief register for Bandon Union is present. A note by the master (BG/42/G/1) explains that some volumes were destroyed when the workhouse burned down, and it appears that earlier volumes which escaped the fire were subsequently lost. These lost registers, noting names and other personal information on inmates, leave an incalculable gap in the historical record, particularly in terms of family history. The final item present is a Labourers’ Acts ledger (BG/42/SA), containing information on the acquisition of sites and the construction and letting of cottages for rural labourers in the 1880s and 1890s, shedding light on the beginnings of social housing provision in the Bandon area.

TC/BN/3 Rent, annuity, and tenant purchase books (1959-99). These record payment details and names of tenants and tenant-purchasers of Town Council- owned property, including artizans’ dwellings. TC/BN/4 Other financial records and volumes TC/BN/5 Files, including documents concerning legal and auditing activities of the Town Commissioners (1835-1918 [incls copy of 1609 map]); documents concerned with the management and trustees of Bandon Town Hall (1862- 1918); traffic bye-laws (1981-95); Town Hall visitors’ books (1991-95), land sale and acquisition including Tenant Purchase (1985-2003); correspondence regarding town mace and arms; Town Clerk’s correspondence (2002); Bandon Town Study (1994); and file of historic/heritage images of Bandon (Irish Walled Towns and Irish Historic Trust [1990s]) *This collection was initially given the reference code TC/42, which was changed to TC/BN in 2012. File TC/BN/5/1 was originally coded as U135. Some renumbering of items occurred in the context of 2013 accrual. Reference coding is provisional pending final accrual of records on foot of proposed dissolution of Town Councils in 2014. The TC/BN Descriptive List gives greater detail on the above series and items contained in them. The collection provides a detailed record of the history of Bandon, one of Cork's most significant urban centres from the time of its foundation by Richard Boyle, earl of Cork, in the 1600s. While there are some gaps in the minutes, taken together the records cover most of the nineteenth and twentieth century, and the early years of the twenty-first century, prior to the abolition of town councils in 2014. The collection is of interest to students of local government, and of urban, local, and social history and heritage.

Bantry Board of Ref. IE CCCA/BG/43 Date: 1846-1924 Level: fonds Extent: 113 items Guardians Scope and Content: The surviving minutes of Board of Guardians (BG/43/A) cover almost the entire existence of that body, with only a few gaps. Some of these gaps are filled by the four volumes of ‘rough’ minutes also present (BG/43/AA). The ordinary minutes include statistical information on workhouse inmates and details of workhouse life and administration. From the 1850s the volumes contain minutes of proceedings under the Medical Charities Acts and, from the 1870s, the Public Health Acts, documenting the board’s increasing role in health and sanitation, and the work of dispensaries and medical officers in the dispensary districts. The Bantry area was particularly severely affected by the Great Famine (1845-49), and its impact on the local population, and on the work of the board and the workhouse, is documented in stark detail in these minute books. One consequence was the dissolution of the Board of Guardians in 1847, with poor law services administered by two appointed vice-guardians until a new Bantry union, and a discrete Castletown union, were created in late 1849. Many selections from the minutes for this difficult period are included in the descriptive list. Volumes for the last years of the union are also covered in some detail. Particular attention is paid to the military occupation of the workhouse, the gradual amalgamation and abolition of workhouses, and the removal of the board and the hospital to . Selections from a few of the other minute books are also included. Throughout an effort has been made to reflect the daily provision of workhouse and dispensary services to the poor. Some resolutions relating to politics and other issues are included to reflect the board’s varied concerns. The other series present consists of two minute books recording proceedings of the

board as a rural sanitary authority under the Labourers’ Acts (BG/43/AL). Unfortunately, these cover only a few years between 1889 and 1893, although the board would have had responsibilities under these acts from 1883 until 1899. The minutes do, however, shed light on the beginnings of public provision of housing in the Bantry area. Taken altogether, the records trace the provision and development of poor law services in the area, including the treatment of the sick and those with mental illnesses, arrangements for children, out door relief and medical treatment (including vaccination) in dispensary districts, the challenges facing the improvement of public health and sanitation, and the beginnings of the provision of labourers’ cottages. The minute books also shed light on dealings with other bodies including other west Cork unions, PLC/LGB, the Office of Public Works, Bantry Town Council and RDC, and . While predominantly documenting the provision of services to the poor, the records also record the views of the board on a variety of subjects, and reflect major developments in the Bantry area and west Cork region.

Bantry Ref. IE CCCA/SM834 Date: 7 Jun 1929 - 22 Oct 1931 Level: item Extent: 75pp Improvement Scope and Content: Minutes of meetings of this committee, documenting its formation (7 Jun 1929), Committee Minute election of an executive committee (13 Jun 1929), and subsequent meetings and Book decisions. Up to 26 October 1929 the minutes record meetings of the whole committee, but subsequent minutes are of meetings of the executive committee, and general public meetings. The public general meeting of 25 April 1930 appointed a general committee, which on 29 April appointed officers and an executive committee. Minutes of the public general meeting of 12 May 1931 include insertions 'Statement of Revenue & Expenditure for Year 1930-31' and a list of officers and committee.

Meetings discussed fundraising through public subscription, and actions for the improvement of the town, through providing amenities and improving the appearance of public spaces. Subjects discussed included bathing boxes, seating, trees and shrubs, window-dressing, the town park, excursions, dumping, cleaning, and other matters. The committee seems to have ceased meeting in 1931.

Bantry Improvement Committee anticipated the committees which emerged nationally from 1958 onwards in bringing the community together to improve the appearance and appeal of the town for tourists, business, and its own people. It may be noted that the impetus came from Bantry Commercial Club, and funding and involvement from the public, with no official connection to Bantry Town Commissioners, the town's elected local authority. Another notable feature of the Committee was the close involvement and cooperation of the Catholic and Protestant traditions in the town. The first chairman was Rev JM Cashman, CC, and the first vice-chairman was Mrs [Clodagh] Leigh-White, great-granddaughter of the 3rd Earl of Bantry and owner of Bantry House and estate. By 1931, Mrs Leigh-White was serving as vice-president, with Rev JW Grainger [Anglican], while Rev Canon O'Leary PP served as president.

In addition, the collection contains personal and estate records of John H Bennett and his family, and of the West family, which came to represent the Bennett interest in the firm. The collection contains a wealth of information on the malting and brewing industries in Cork and Ireland, barley cultivation and farming in Cork and Munster, and the efforts of the Department of Agriculture, Guinness, and others to improve barley breeding and malting through scientific methods. The personal papers present shed light on the cultural milieu of John H Bennett, an upper middle class Protestant businessman in in a period of great social change. Events such as the Great War (in which his only son, Jack, was killed) and the War of Independence, and their local impact, are reflected in his diaries. Sporting interests, notably sailing, and personal relationships are also documented.

There are also some entries on bible texts and sermons. There are no entries for many days in most volumes. Blakely's passport and ID Card numbers are noted inside the cover of several volumes. The back pages often note names and addresses, accounts, books, and other matters. PR41/1 (1946) contains no entries for Feb-Apr, or Jun-Aug. In May he notes that he is in Belfast. In September he began a journey east, passing through Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Peking. PR41/2 (1950) gives Blakely's address as Boardmills, Lisburn, (inside the cover).

Partly printed, the names of all Co Cork commissioners have been added. With hard seal affixed [black, showing young queen enthroned]. Envelope addressing the commission also present.

In addition to documenting the genealogy of the Bolster family and connections in Cork and elsewhere, SM55/1 also gives much information on the military and colonial service of many family members, while George Bolster's own memoir reflects on his childhood during the Great Famine in North Cork, as well as his naval experiences, and sport (shooting and fox hunting) in north Cork. For example, he mentions being introduced to Prince William of Prussia ('now ex-Kaiser'), and dicusses the origins of fox hunting in around 1800. In his preface, Bolster thanks Dr Berry of the Irish Public Records Office and expresses sympathies on that office’s destruction in 1922.The author is a great-great-grandson of Richard Bolster of Scarra, and a grandson of George Bolster of Curraghbower (1776-1842). This latter was also the grandfather of George Hawkes Bolster, JP(1852-1908), 'sometime Honorary Secretary, Duhallow Hunt'.

Boyle Sermons Ref. IE CCCA/SM8 Date: [1629] Level: fonds Extent: 2 items (32pp and 4pp) Scope and Content: Two sermons or addresses, the first explicitly directed to Richard Boyle, the second evidently also directed to him, both from his chaplain. Both are in secretary hand, although the second is in a more miniscule hand, and is unsigned. Both documents are partially stained, and are fragile. 1. Sermon or address, 'To the right Honourable Richard, Lord Boyle, Earle of Corke, one of the Lords Justices of the '. The first two pages contain a salutation, followed by a lengthy essay on Matthew 6.33 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness'. There are many marginal notes in english, latin, greek and [hebrew]. The salutation is signed 'Yr devoted chaplaine', but with the name crossed out. However, under the name, also crossed out, 'St Barrie's' seems to be written. This may indicate the author is Richard Boyle, a cousin of the earl, bishop of Cork from 1620 to 1638. 32pp 2. Sermon or letter, directed to 'Right Honourable' [name omitted] and signed 'Your Lordship's most humble servant and most bounden chaplaine' [name omitted]. The text is untitled and begins 'Let the world admire your justice, wisdom, meekness, temperance, let king and country for that, and your other vertues, thinke you the only fitt man, in these destracted tymes, to sitt at the helme of this kingdome'. The essay's main subject is evidently the sabbath. Extensive marginal notes are mainly in latin, with many scriptural citations. 4pp A loose, otherwise blank page, possibly formerly part of SM8/2, has the name 'Richard Boyle' written in one corner, lightly scored over.

Brother Allen Ref. IE CCCA/U4 Date: 1772-1895 (1952) Level: fonds Extent: 13 items Deposit (O'Connell Scope and Content: The scope of this collection is mixed and partial, but it relates to many aspects of Papers) Irish social and political history in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. U4/1, a 1777 letter from Jerry McCrohan to Maurice Connell, and including a copy of a legal letter relating to the O’Mahonys of Kilmichael, concerns both the butter trade and commercial and family connections with continental Europe. U4/2 also relates to this O’Mahony family. U4/3, a letter to Charles Bianconi from poet [John Burk, the Connaught Bard] seeking patronage, sheds some light both on his fame and his political outlook, while U4/4 documents the financial difficulties of his son. U4/5-7 are connected by reference to the Coppinger family and to property in Co Clare. Morgan John O’Connell inherited lands in Clare from his uncle William Coppinger, and these papers may have come to him with that inheritance. U4/8-10 relate to Morgan John O’Connell himself, and particularly to his bankruptcy in 1854. U4/8 relates to his removal from the office of Justice of the Peace for Co Kerry in 1844, perhaps owing to his declining circumstances. U4/9-10 illustrate the bankruptcy process of the time. U4/11, a letter to John O’Connell in France in 1848 from Charles Sugrue, Cork, contains fascinating references to the rebellion then underway and Sugrue’s views on it. O’Connell’s financial arrangements and difficulties are also

discussed. U4/12, a letter from Isaac Butt in 1869 regarding a national meeting involving the Irish Tenant League on the Irish land question, is an important record of the beginning of joint agrarian and national political action in this period. [See also U4a, Isaac Butt Letters] Agrarian action, more particularly violence, provides the context for the final item present, a copy of the findings of the inquest into the death of John Twiss, hanged at Cork in 1895 for an agrarian murder. The views of the coroner and jurors reflect their political outlook and their attitude to the Crown’s handing of such cases. Many of the items in some measure relate to the O’Connells of , Co Kerry, and will be of interest to students of that family and of Daniel O’Connell. The O’Mahony family material, relating to Lt Col Cornelius O’Mahony of the Spanish army, is also of genealogical interest. The records of Morgan John O’Connell and his Coppinger connections complement other Coppinger records held in CCCA. Bianconi, Butt, and Twiss are all figures of interest in different ways, each of them in a sense echoing political themes associated with O’Connell. The political and social interests of Irish Catholics, especially in Cork and Kerry, and their financial difficulties, are recurring themes throughout this varied and significant artificial collection.

Burnett's Chapel Ref. IE CCCA/U28 Date: 1805-1809 Level: fonds Extent: 11pp Cork Scope and Content: Copy note of two deeds regarding Burnett's Chapel, Cook Street, Cork, and its trust. The final line of the note asks 'Query - what is the nature of their trust', suggesting the document was prepared for the purpose of seeking legal advice. The first deed quoted from is an assignment, dated 11 May 1805, from Philip Clark to Philip Ryder, one of the trustees. Provisions are quoted regarding trustees, who were' to have the entire management of everything concerning the chapel except the appointment of ministers and officers which appointment was to be by the members of the church when formed'. The trustees are to preserve the chapel from becoming the property of an individual, and are to preserve the church and pulpit 'with the approbation of said Church', opening the pulpit to ministers preaching doctrines 'true and evangelical agreeable to the doctrines and articles of the established Protestant church... and the Westminster confession'. Provisions for replacement of trustees and sale of the chapel are also outlined. The second deed is an assignment from Apsley [Bellat] to Philip Ryder and others, trustees, 12 July 1809, 'and deed of trust recited and enlarged'. Nine trustees in Cork are named, and there are stated to be nine others in England [the Cork trustees include the five named in the 1805 deed: Philip Ryder, Peter Frier, William Moore, Robert Rogers, and Denis Bergin]. The Protestant character of the chapel is re- iterated. Those entered as communicants in the 'Society's book' [congregation records] may nominate and appoint ministers. Provisions are made for dissolution of the congregation and translation to a larger chapel, as required. Reference is made to the appointment of secretaries and chairmen in and Ireland, and to British and Irish successors to ministers.

A note on the last page states that the deeds 'of the old Huntingdon or Calvinistic Chapel in Cook Street' are held by C Beamish, Treasurer of the Mechanics' Institute. This copy item sheds light on one of Cork's Protestant congregations at a time when emigration from the UK and elsewhere in Ireland led to the creation of several new congregations in Cork, and to the emergence of a new community of Presbyterians, Methodists, and other independent Protestants, which was to play a leading role in Cork's development in the nineteenth century.

City of Cork Steam Ref. IE CCCA/U370 Date: 1803 - 1969 Level: fonds Extent: 475 items Packet Co Ltd Scope and Content: The surviving records of the City of Cork Steam Packet Company Limited provide a wealth of information on the Company's management, ownership, administration, operations, staff, and vessels, particularly for the period from its creation in 1871 to its takeover in 1918, and through its existence as part of the British & Irish Steam Packet Company and the Coast Lines group of companies up to 1965. A few records of its predecessor, the City of Cork Steam Ship Company (1843-71) also occur in the collection. These include an important set of Company letters to ships' captains [U370/D/F/225], some files on the Company's London and other agencies [U370/C/035] and receipts for shipment of goods on vessels including the Cormorant and the Halcyon [U370/D/020]. Also present are photographs of two vessels from that time, the Cormorant (built 1853) and the Dodo (built 1855) [U370/H/044-045]. ]. Appendix 1 to the descriptive list outlines pre-1871 records, while Appendix 2 is a calendar of the letters to ships’ captains 1844 – 1871 in U370/F/247. These earlier records have not been separated from later Company records, but rather have been placed with similar material within relevant series, apart from one 1836 item, given a distinct series, U370/S.

U370/A 'Corporate Governance' consists of records of the overall management of the Company, including articles of association from its founding, minutes and reports of its directors, and minutes, reports, and accounts from meetings of members (shareholders). This system of governing the Company was not continued after 1918, when instead the new owners placed a managing director in charge.

U370/B 'Shares and Investments' documents ownership of share in the Company from 1871 to 1918, and changes in ownership, including its takeover in 1918. Files relating to shares and investments also document later share transfers, dividends, share calls, and investments.

U370/C 'Administrative Files' relate primarily to the period as part of British & Irish Steam Packet Company and the Coast Lines Group, reflecting the changed recordkeeping resulting from new management structures. Within this series are files on property, financial matters, and operational issues, illustrating a wide range of Company activities, particularly in the 1920s-30s. Of particular importance are files of trade returns from the 1960s, and files relating to vessels, including files on war loss during the First and Second World Wars [U370/C/027-029].

U370/D 'Promotions and Company History' documents special promotional cruises, Company promotional literature and advertising, and notes and cuttings on Company history, largely assembled for promotional and commemorative purposes, which add much colour to the collection.

U370/E 'Other Organisations' is a small but key series containing minutes and files of

Cork City and County Archives Index to Listed Collections with Scope and Content

dealings with the Ireland and England Traffic Conference, the Great Western Railway Company, and Cork Harbour Commissioners, on the movement of goods between Britain and Ireland, c1860s to 1930s.

U370/F 'Volumes' is the largest series, divided into four main groupings: Financial Accounting; Operational Accounting; Wages; and Other. Items include journals, ledgers, cash books, and customs records; movement of goods, claims and rebates, and customer accounts; salary and wages books; and other volumes including correspondence, property rentals, and minor financial and operational records. Volumes in this series have been grouped together as they document Company day- to-day business, and accounting for it, in both financial and records of activity and transactions.

U370/G 'Printed Matter' includes printed rates for the through traffic of goods through various Irish and UK ports and railway stations, and printed reports, journals, copies of legislation, and other matter, retained by the Company for reference use.

U370/H 'Drawings and Photographs' is a valuable series of engineering drawings of many vessels, c1890s-1920s, and a set of 'ships' particulars' with small plans, c1950- 51, all illustrating the capacities of Company vessels. Some architectural plans of Company premises in Cork, c1900s, are also included here. There is also a file of drawings regarding alterations to the vessel , c1900-1918. Two photographs, of the Dodo and Cormorant, mentioned above, end this series. The series adds a visual and technical dimension which enhances the collection.

U370/S is a special series containing a single item, the articles of agreement and copartnership for the Cork Steam Packet Company, founded in 1836, but not clearly connected to the present Company and its successors.

Further information on each series may be found in series level 'Scope and Content' sections. Within series, related and similar records have been grouped together. However these have not been described as sub-series, to allow flexibility and avoid creating an excess of sub-series. Throughout the descriptive list, the City of Cork Steam Packet Company is described as 'the Company'. The British & Irish Steam Packet Company is usually described as 'B&I'.

The collection documents one of the most important companies in Cork's commercial and maritime history, from its origins and development into a successful independent company, to its response to the challenges of war, takeover, and changing commercial circumstances. Its staff, officers, shareholders, and directors are well documented, adding to its value as a family and social history resource. The technical drawings, promotional material, and newscuttings present add visual and contextual perspective to the collection, allowing a rounded view of the Company's history, and the possibility of pursuing various avenues of research. The Company minutes and volumes recording financial and operational transactions, however, form the core of the collection.

A calendar of U370/F/225 ships' captains letters 1844-71 is included as an appendix to the descriptive list.

Clonakilty Board of Ref. IE CCCA/BG/65 Date: 1850-1924 Level: fonds Extent: 78 volumes Guardians Scope and Content: The minutes of Clonakilty Board of Guardians provide an almost unparalleled record, in that they extend from May 1850, just after its creation, to its final abolition in 1924 without any gaps [BG/65/A/1-74]. The Great Famine (1845-49) had a devastating impact on the West Cork region, and while the minutes commence as famine was finally abating, they document its lingering effects and provide information on the number of inmates in 1849 and 1850 (totals for one, two, and three previous years noted in minutes 1850-52). ). The ordinary minutes include statistical information on workhouse inmates and details of workhouse life and administration. From the 1850s the volumes contain minutes of proceedings under the Medical Charities Acts and, from the 1870s, the Public Health Acts, documenting

Cork City and County Archives Index to Listed Collections with Scope and Content

the board’s increasing role in health and sanitation, and the work of dispensaries and medical officers in the dispensary districts. Twentieth century minute books also document the boarding out of orphaned and deserted children. The selections from the minutes summarized or quoted in this list focus on the Union’s early years in the shadow of the famine, and on its final years as it became the last ‘working’ workhouse in west Cork. Newscuttings inserted into some of the later minute books giving verbatim reports of some discussions add colour to the official record. Selections are also given from minutes from 1881 and 1914-15, as a sample of other periods. Also present is a set of statistical minutes from 1905 to 1920 [BG/65/AD/1]. Often bound with general minutes in the minute books of other unions, these formal returns were bound as a separate set by the clerk of Clonakilty union. The weekly returns confirm that union registers and other records have been examined, and provide information on consumption of provisions, the average costs of maintaining inmates, and expenditure by relieving officers on outdoor relief. One dispensary committee minute book, for Rosscarbery Dispensary district, has survived, and covers the long period from 1852 to 1899 (BG/65/AJ/1). Whiles the board’s dealings with dispensary committees are covered in the main board minutes, the present volume gives greater detail on the provision and management of public health and sanitary services on a local level. The final item is a minute book relating to the board’s work as a Rural Sanitary Authority under the Labourers’ Acts 1883 and 1885 [BG/65/AL/1]. A record of meetings on preparing and delivering schemes for erecting cottages for the labouring classes, the volume documents the beginnings of the provision of rural social housing in the Clonakilty area.

Coppinger of Ref. IE CCCA/U405 Date: 1740-1756; 1784-85; 1827-43 [1797] Level: fonds Barryscourt, Letters Extent: 90 items; 1 box Scope and Content: 1740-1843 Of the ninety letters present, seventy-nine are addressed to the elder William Coppinger, and range in date from 1740 to 1756. Only two are addressed to his son William (1784-85). Of the remaining letters, only one, from Daniel O’Connell, is addressed to the younger William Coppinger (1832). Three are directed to his brother Thomas, all from bishops. The letter from Bishop Collins of Ross is of particular interest, as in it he explains in detail the reasons why he must decline to support publicly the Catholic candidate in a forthcoming election (U405/87). One letter is addressed to ‘L’Abbé’ Stephen Coppinger, and one to Bishop William Coppinger (both 1827). A copy of a letter from Edmund Burke to Dr Hussey, Bishop of Waterford, is also present (1797). In it, Burke advises against the use by Catholic bishops of seals showing arms and a mitre, noting that ‘malignant enemies’ might interpret such use as implying a claim to temporalities held by the bishops of the

Established Church (U405/82). The latest item present is a letter to a James Power, apparently a Coppinger relative, from Mary Coppinger, in Lucca, Italy (1843).

The elder William Coppinger’s main correspondents were his brother Joseph (‘Joe’, the Cork wine merchant), his brother-in-law John Galwey of Carrigg, his nephew Stephen Coppinger, his cousin John Crotty of Ballygallane, various Gould cousins in east Cork, Dr MacKenna regarding parish clergy, and a Francis Flaherty of Agliss to whom William owed some money. The letters concern family affairs and relationships, religious piety, land, trade, and, occasionally, the politics of the day. As an example of their content, there are a few letters touching on each of the following subjects: Stephen Coppinger’s attempt to recover the residual estate of his brother who died in Sweden (U405/19, 21, 28); William Coppinger’s salting and barrelling of herring for sale by his brother Joe (U405/4, 14, 25, 27, 30, 42, 56); and John Galwey’s efforts to find an appropriate school for his son Billy (U405/50, 63, 64). William’s struggle with depression (e.g. U405/6, 10), and the births and illnesses of children (e.g. U405/41, 52) are recurring themes.

The letters have been arranged in chronological order. A number of undated letters (No.s 73-79), all seemingly from the 1750s, have been placed after the last dated letter from the 1750s and before the next dated letter, which is from 1784. An ‘Index Note’ indicating which letters are from which correspondent precedes the descriptive list of letters below.

Copy of Grant of Ref. IE CCCA/U14 Date: 10 April 1679 Level: item Extent: 20pp Charles II of the Scope and Content: Copy deed of grant to the Earl of Anglesea ['Anglesey'] of the manors of Altham and Manors of Altham Bantry. It is recited that Anglesea is seized of extensive lands and property in the and Bantry barony of Beara and Bantry in the county of Cork, 'which... not being united in or to any manor many inconveniences or disorders do frequently happen among the inhabitants thereof, and being remote from market towns and fairs have not that conveniency for venting the commodities...'. Reference is made to the 1679 report of the Lieutenant General of Ireland, the Earl of Ormond, proposing the creation of two manors in favour of Anglesea. The manors are granted by king's chancery roll of 6 February 1679, creating the Manor of Bantry and the manor of Altham. The present deed confirms that and grants demenses in each manor to Anglesea. Also granted is the power 'to hold a Court Leet and View of Frank Pledge.., (a) Court Baron.., (a) Court of Record', and to appoint bailiffs, with power of imprisonment [Manorial Court privileges]. Hunting rights, power to erect a tannery for hides, and market days and fairs (to be held at Ballygobane 'als Oldtown') are also granted. Letters patent confirming the foregoing lodged 15 March 1679. The document is dated 10 April 1679. True copy lodged with Clerk of the Peace of the County of Cork, 25 July 1787. The deed sheds light on the extension of English administration in the Beara and Bantry areas in the later 17th century, and on the power of the Earl of Anglesea in that area. The detail on the extensive privileges and freedoms granted to Anglesea, including court and other jurisdiction, is of particular interest.

Inspector’s report, 1923, relating to an enquiry into the administration of the workhouse during the term of office of the Vice Guardians, who were appointed in November 1920.

It helps to document the social, economic and political history of the Cork Union, and covers many subjects and issues both local and national in scope.

The committee for 1925-26 included the Lord Mayor as Chairman, Commissioner Philip Monahan, Sir John Scott, RH Beamish, and others, with RA Hall treasurer.

There were difficulties in securing coal supplies during the years of the Second World War, and up to 1948. Falling subscriptions and increasing fuel prices were ongoing problems.

Council Minutes The minute books of Cork County Council contain minutes of monthly, quarterly, annual, and special meetings of the whole Council. Also contained in most volumes are minutes of the Finance Committee, and also the Proposals, Scholarships, and Pensions Committees, and other committees and special committees. The Council’s chairman and vice-chairman are elected annually at the Annual Meeting, usually held in June/July. At the Annual Meeting following elections, appointments are made to committees of the Council, and to committees on which the Council is represented. The names of many of the committees in existence at different times are noted in the ‘Scope and Content’ of individual minute books. The special meeting for striking a Rate was generally held in May. For most of the Council’s existence, the estimates meeting, to approve expenditure for the coming year, has been held in March/April.

The minutes record the proceedings, decisions, and resolutions of the Council, principally on policy and administrative and financial affairs. The key areas of focus, while changing over time, have tended to include Roads, Social Housing, Sanitation and Public Health, Higher Education Grants, Planning and Development, the Environment, and Estimates and Rates. The Council also frequently passed resolutions expressing its views on local, national, and international events and political developments.

The early minute books reflect the strong nationalism of the years leading up to the creation of the Irish Free State (1922), and the growth of representative local democracy as electoral reforms in 1898, 1918, and 1935 gave more and more people the vote. The Council’s relationship with central government, particularly the Department of Local Government, remains an important subject throughout these volumes. In addition, its dealings with related authorities such as Urban and Rural District Councils and Boards of Health, and with bodies to which it appointed members, are well documented.

The minutes are generally bound in volumes, having first been printed and signed by the chairman as approved. The first meeting after elections lists all members. All those in attendance at meetings are listed. There are a few gaps in the minutes; these are indicated where they occur.

Denny Lane in His Ref. IE CCCA/SM653 Date: May 2007 Level: item Extent: 81pp Cultural Context, Scope and Content: Allan, George F, Denny Lane in his Cultural Context, University of Ulster at thesis by George F Coleraine, May 2007, dissertation for degree of Master of Arts in Irish Cultural Allan Heritages. The thesis reassesses the influence of Denny Lane on the Young Ireland movement and other Catholic political movements in the 1840s, and the impact of his cultural nationalism on social and civic life in Cork city, using the Denny Lane Papers deposited at Cork City and County Archives in 2004 as the key source [U611].

Denny Lane Papers Ref. IE CCCA/U611 Date: 1833-1895 Level: fonds Extent: 154 items plus c.30 items of additional material Scope and Content: Lane's early life is documented in the collection only by 2 school report books, from Porter and Hamblin’s School in Cork, showing his consistently excellent marks in most subjects (U611/1 – U611/2).

The collection is of particular interest for those studying nationalist political and cultural activity in the mid-19th century, especially The Nation newspaper and the Young Ireland movement. Contains a significant amount of political correspondence related to some of the nationalist figures and events of the 1840’s and later on in the 19th century. Lane’s friendship and political association with Thomas Davis is documented by letters to Lane in 1843/1844, mainly concerning content for The Nation, and written in a most familiar tone (U611/6 - /9, /11). Also present are letters written to Davis by other figures, such as Michael Doheny (U611/5) and Thomas Wallis, (U611/4) which Lane may have acquired for study. Correspondence of Lane’s cousin, Daniel Owen Madden, includes a letter mentioning a visit by Daniel O’Connell (U611/13) and another from Thomas Wallis concerning a publication of the life of Thomas Davis (U611/14). Lane’s earlier association with , is documented by a few letters from 1842 to 1849, relating to The Nation, the and the Young Ireland movement, including the disagreements and splits in the Repeal movement in 1846-1847 (U611/21) and following the period of the government's suppression of the Confederate Clubs (U611/23). The 1848 revolutions in Europe sparked much excitement in Ireland, as evidenced by a letter from Duffy to Lane in March 1848 (U611/22). Lane resigned from the in September 1846 (U611/40), with the rest of the Young Irelanders, and in October (later, publisher of the United Irishman) asked Lane to contribute to a section of The Nation newspaper with the title ‘Young Ireland’ (U611/42). Clues as to Lane’s political activities in 1846 may be found in his correspondence with Sir David Roche, accused of mistreating his tenants by Lane in a

public statement (U611/35). The collection contains some correspondence from William Smith O’Brien, M.P. mainly concerning O’Brien’s impending visit to Cork with , and the organisation of the Irish Confederation in Cork and nationally (U611/26, /27). Of particular note is a letter from Denny Lane in April 1848 describing the political situation in Cork (U611/28). The sense of crisis in Ireland during the Great Famine in 1847 is evidenced in a letter from O’Brien to Michael Joseph Barry (U611/25). The remainder of the 1840’s political correspondence includes one or two items from various figures, including Richard O’Gorman (U611/39, /48), T. Devin Reilly (U611/43), Thomas D’Arcy McGee (U611/45), Terence Bellew McManus (U611/46), Thomas Mathew Halpin (U611/49), Thomas England (U611/50), Richard Deasy (U611/51), and John Martin (U611/54). These items mainly relate to the organisation of the Confederate Clubs. A few much later letters show Lane’s ongoing contact with Gavan Duffy, mainly in connection with the latter’s literary work on the Young Irelanders (U611/58 – U611/60).

The Collection also contains material of a more personal nature, such as, a list of members of the Munster Bar (U611/62), a letter from a friend concerning a fishing trip on the River Lee (U611/65), a letter from Eugene Curry of the concerning the genealogy of the O’Liathain family (U611/66), and also some draft notes and writings by Lane (U611/69). Also found are a small number of lyrics which document Lane’s great interest in poetry and music, including lyrics of ‘The Lament of the Irish Maiden, A Brigade Ballad’, also known as ‘Carrigdhoun’ (U611/72b). Also found are printed garlands of song lyrics from pre-1850 (U611/76 - /79).

Denny Lane’s extensive business activities are not well documented in the collection, apart from a settlement with his creditors in 1855 (U611/81), and a Patent for an invention to improve gas production in 1865 (U611/82).

Lane's extensive involvement in the artistic and cultural life of Cork is not well documented in the collection, although some items hint at Lane’s cultural and literary interests (U611/9, /125).

The collection contains a large amount of correspondence for the period 1881-1893 concerning his work as Secretary and Resident Engineer for the Cork Gas Company. Most items are related to the administration of the Gas Works (U611/104, /114) and Lane’s visits abroad, where he updated his knowledge of the latest gas and electrical technology (U611/83, 105). The material includes mention of Thomas Alva Edison’s electrical equipment (U611/94, /110). Lane also gives a few accounts of his speeches to the Institute of Gas Engineers (U611/85, /128).

Also found in the collection is a small amount of correspondence relating to Lane’s wife, Mary Francis. She may have shared Denny Lane’s noted wit (U611/46). Mary received number of letters from Charles Gavan Duffy in Nice, France, after the death in November 1895 of her ‘generous and gifted husband’, of whom Duffy writes he ‘never met a more honorable or upright man. He was one of a class not growing plenty in Ireland…who thought always first of the country, and last of himself...’ (U611/151).

Also, box of additional material consisting of copies of photographs, drawings, and memorabilia relating to Lane and family, held by Denny Lanes descendants.

1. Unsigned letter from Fawsitt, Mater Private Nursing Home, Eccles Street, Dublin, 1 Mar 1965, to 'My dear O'Connell', opening 'as I write our Chief of State is speaking over 's grave in Glasnevin'. He goes on to give an account of the opening public meeting at City Hall to found a branch of the Irish Volunteers in Cork. He was one of four 'youngsters' who called the meeting and, knowing Casement, had invited him to attend and speak. The meeting was disturbed by 'the then Redmondite "Molly Maguire's"' when Eoin MacNeill called for 'Three Cheers for Carson's Volunteers'. Fawsitt restored order by presenting Casement and shouting 'here is a man who would be received in every chancellery in Europe - Will Cork deny him a hearing?'. He states that some 200 volunteers signed up that night. He suggests that Examiner and Echo newspaper files should have something on the speech.

Letter from Fawsitt, Royal Marine Hotel, Dun Laoghaire, 6 Feb 1966, to WD O'Connell, Editor, Evening Echo, Cork, apologising for not being able to prepare, owing to ill health, copies of articles on the setting up of the Volunteers in Cork, to be published in special issues of 'your Cork dailies' for Easter 1966. He asks if O'Connell has copies of newspapers of 15 December 1913, 'the day following the holding of the inglorious public meeting in Cork's City Hall at which the Cork City Corps of the then newly-founded Irish Volunteers organisation was formed'. He says that if he makes it to Cork he will call on Mrs de Roiste and look through Liam [de Roiste's] diaries.

Dunmanway Board Ref. IE CCCA/BG/83 Date: 1840-1920 Level: fonds Extent: 108 volumes of Guardians Scope and Content: The surviving records of Board of Guardians consist of minute books, forming a practically unbroken set from its first meeting in 1840 to 1920, although minutes for the final years of its existence have seemingly been lost. The minutes for the period of the Great Famine (1845-49) document its devastating effects on this part of West Cork. The West Cork region was one of the worst effected in Ireland, and although the Famine’s impact was less severe in Dunmanway union than in others, the minutes provide a vivid picture of the hardships of the time. Death, disease, emigration, and the financial difficulties of the union and the local population are the recurrent subjects. The minutes also document the relationship between the various West Cork Unions, and the rearrangements which occurred in 1849-50, as Clonakilty Union and other unions came into being. Later records document the increasing public health role of the board of guardians, with dispensary committees of management being created, dispensary services being provided throughout the union area, and services such as compulsory smallpox vaccination and local midwives being provided. Much information about the conditions of workhouse life, and of life for the poor of the area generally, may be gleaned from the minutes. The British Medical Journal report of 1895(referred to in the Administrative History) reveals the grim realities of maintaining workhouse and hospital services on severely limited means. There is much reference in later minutes to providing for destitute and deserted children. Political and nationalist resolutions occur more frequently in the final surviving records of the union, culminating in the decision to pledge allegiance to Dail Eireann in 1920. The difficulties arising out of the occupation of much of the workhouse by British military from 1920 probably contributed to the loss of some union records. Nonetheless, the extant volumes, with the three pre-1920 gaps in the main series filled by rough minute books, provide a comprehensive record of the poor law, and

Edward Murphy Ref. IE CCCA/SM9 Date: 1883-1889 Level: fonds Extent: 2 vols. Diaries Scope and Content: Diaries/Journals of Edward Murphy, Bombardier, Royal Marine Corps, describing his travels and service, in the English Channel and Mediterranean Sea (1883-85) and in the Indian Ocean (1887-89), with related notes and other items.

SM9/1 is titled 'Cruise of the Channel Fleet 1883[-85], Vice Admiral HRH the Duke of Edinburgh, HMS Monotaur Flag Ship'. He describes embarking from Portmouth on 19 November 1883, saluting the Admiral, and proceeding to Vigo in Spain, and thence to Gibraltar, Palma, Sardinia, Sicily, Crete ('Candia'), the Greek Islands, and Marmorice (Turkey), returning via Rhodes, Athens (Greece), Malta, and Ireland, reaching Portsmouth on 7 October 1884. Murphy records encounters with other vessels, daily activities, and notable events, as well as descriptions of places and routes taken. Later that month, the fleet was active again between Plymouth and Gibraltar. In April 1885 the Minotaur saluted the Prince of at Kingstown, and at Queenstown, in Ireland. In June 1885 the Minotaur left Portland as part of the Particular Service Squadron, later visiting and continuing around Ireland. There are no entries for 1886, the journal recommencing in July 1887, when the Jubilee Fleet was visited by the Queen at Spithead, who conducted a 'Grand Review' on 23 July, 'Jubilee Day'. Murphy gives a list of 'man-of-war gun boats and troopships' present, and a sketch of formation. At the back of this volume are further notes headed 'Bits and scraps & c at this side of Book'. These include poems by Murphy (eg, 'The forcing of the Dardenelles 1878') and others, with an account of the formation of the Royal Marines; songs; letters; and notes (eg, list of mess mates; questions and answers of useful naval knowledge). Inserted are some sketches, newscuttings of a 'weekly competition' [humourous stories submitted], and a printed 'Transval Special' newspaper supplement with military photos [Murphy not present].

SM9/2 begins in September 1887 with an account of the journey (on HMS Ranger) from 'Portsmouth to Bombay 6,96 miles (via Suez & Aden)', followed by summary entries as the fleet progressed through the Indian Ocean, to Muscat, Bahrain, Diego Garcia, Mauritius, Colombo, Rangoon, and elsewhere. At the back of the volume is a table summarising 'Cruise of HMS Ranger on the East Indies'. The journal ends in December 1889, with Murphy at Aden and the fleet attending to east African affairs. Murphy again records sailings and onboard activities, but also refers to political events, eg, on 30 April 1888 the fleet was visited by Ayub Khan 'the principal figure in the late Afghan War' (p14), and to social affairs, eg, a ball and cricket match at Trinco, Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in November 1888 (p49). 112pp

The journals give a fascinating insight into service in the Royal Marines in the the late 19th century, when the British empire was at its zenith, and contain many observations by Murphy on places visited, people met, and experiences enjoyed, reflecting his outlook as a marine and traveller.

IE CCCA/U170 Date: August 1871- January 1938 Level: fonds Extent: 141 Emigrant Letters items Scope and Content: The major part of the present collection comprises of 122 letters home to Ireland from Michael and Denis Hurley in the United States over a period of 77 years from 1871 to 1938. The majority (117) of the letters are written by Denis Hurley, although Denis does regularly pass on news of his brother Michael. The earlier letters are mainly addressed to their parents at Tawnies, Clonakilty, and later on to their brothers and sisters, and finally to a few of their nieces in Clonakilty and Timoleague, county Cork. The letters have been arranged chronologically.

The letters reveal much about emigrant life in the United States, in particular the experiences of those who migrated to the Western states, usually after arriving on the East coast (U170/2). At the time, these states had a very large number of emigrants from all around the world, many of whom worked in the mining industry and the railroads (U170/1, /3). Although often optimistic about living conditions, the letters reveal the hardships facing emigrants (U170/45, /52, /92). Despite these hardships, neither Denis nor Michael seem to have considered returning permanently to Ireland, ‘…to struggle on an Irish Farm…’ (U170/49). The letters make frequent observations on poor living conditions in Ireland, such as, the cost of land, high rents and low prices for crops (U170/13, /14, /15, /20), although some later observations about Ireland are more optimistic (U170/62, /90).

The brothers maintained strong contacts with Ireland through their correspondence and through newspapers sent from home (U170/4), and they kept an interest in Irish affairs, and often wrote of their support of the Home Rule movement (U170/21, /61, /62, /67). Later on, Denis supported the for which he subscribed funds and spoke at meetings (U170/75, /82). Denis’ concern for Ireland during the Irish War of Independence and the Civil War is apparent from some of his letters from that time (U170/73, /74, /79-/85), including a mention of the death of Michael Collins in 1922 (U170/79).

Many letters also mention major events in the United States and Europe, such as; the economic recession of the 1890’s (U170/22-/24), the San Francisco earthquake of 1906, which Michael Hurley survived (U170/54, /55), the First World War (U170/68-/71), the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920’s (U170/73, /74), the Spanish Civil War (U170/119) and various U.S. elections (U170/11, /20, /31 /43, /52. /72, /93). The effects of the Great Depression of the 1930’s feature in much of the later correspondence, and Denis’ observations illustrate the depth of the problems faced by the United States during this period (U170/101 - /106, /108- /118). Although Denis at this time was fortunate to be in secure employment, his hopes were dashed of visiting Ireland for the Dublin Eucharistic Congress in 1932, partly because the value of his banking stocks were reduced during the Great Depression (U170/106, /112). In the event, neither brother ever returned to Ireland.

The remainder of the collection includes a few documents related to the estate of Denis Hurley following his death in March 1938, an 1885 financial statement of affairs for Thomas Hurley, general merchant, Clonakilty (U170/130), and a letter from John Hurley to Clonakilty Union in 1897 concerning the valuation of his property (U170/131). Also found are 2 items related to the death of Mrs Mary Hurley, mother of Denis and Michael, including a list of expenses incurred at her wake and funeral (U170/133). The collection also contains 2 letters from a Marie Collins in Connecticut, United States to the Hurleys in Clonakilty. The final sections of the collection contain portrait photographs of Denis Hurley, and newspaper clippings, one of which is a public notice by Denis announcing his standing for

election as a Commissioner of Carson City (U611/141).

The collection is a valuable source for the history of Irish emigration to the United States in the late 19th century and the early 20th century, in particular documenting the experience of those who continued their migration westwards rather than remaining in the more traditional Irish urban centres such as Boston, New York and Chicago. The collection documents the response of Irish emigrants to the daily struggle to make a living in a new country and their coping with being away from friends and family with little likelihood of ever seeing them again. It also documents the Irish/Irish emigrant response to some of the political, social, military and economic events in the United States, Ireland and Europe, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Additions in pencil [by O'Shea], note dates of admission. Throughout the volume, many of the entries contain further information on the subject addressed (by the original indexer). Some dates attached to these entries suggest the index continued later than 1841. The first index term occurring is 'Bulke' [1724 re City Walls], the last being 'Woollen Manufactures' (1739). Index terms include 'Common Speakers' [giving names and dates of speakers], 'Council' [referring to dates and membership of new Councils], Lords Lieutenant of Ireland (names, 1728-1841), Mayors (names, 1710-1841), Recorders (1712-1808) [incomplete], Sheriffs (names, 1710-1841).

U11/2 Typescript, 'A Transcription and Extension of an Index of the Council Books of the Corporation of Cork from 31st October 1710 to 25th October 1841', By John J O'Shea, [195?]. There is a Preface by O'Shea, and an editorial note explaining pagination. O'Shea notes 'Old Volume' pages as per the Index and 'New Volume' based on Caulfield's 'Council Book'. O'Shea routinely supplements the transcription from the index with information derived from Caulfield, resulting in a longer, more detailed version rather than a true copy. Other lists and information on mayors, Corporation officers, and freemen, and on other matters, follows the Index. The typescript is arranged into 8 folders. Folder 1 (pp1-82) contains contents, title page, preface and note, and index entries, with additional information, from 'Bulke' to Freemen' [not including the list of freemen]. Folder 2 (pp83-162) begins with an additional title page: 'Alphabetical List of Freemen of the City of Cork. With Date of Admission...' (1710-1841), by O'Shea [based on the Index and Caulfield]. Contains entries 'Abbott' to 'Fortesque'. Folder 3 (pp163-251) contains continuation of the List of Freemen, 'Forward' to 'Perry'. Folder 4 (pp252-339) contains continuation of the List of Freemen, 'Persse' to 'Young' (pp252-313), and Index entries 'Free School and Church' to 'Judges of Assize'. Folder 5 (pp340-408) contains Index entries 'Judges of Assize' to 'Potatoe Dock' [sic]. Folder 6 (pp409-487) contains Index entries 'Potatoe Dock' to 'Woollen Manufactures' (pp409-79), and a list of Provosts, Mayors and Lord mayors of Cork from 1199 to 1645 and 1656 to 1955 (pp480-85), and a list of Propositors, Bayliffs and Sheriffs of Cork City, 1199 to 1645, and 1656 to 1920 (pp485-89). Folder 7 (pp488-573) contains last two pages of preceding list, Roll of the Hon. Burgesses of the City of Cork (1887 to 1955; pp490-92), Freemen Admitted from 1800 to 1841 (pp494-573) Folder 8 (pp575-636) 'The Honorary Freemen of Cork, 1690 - 1946', MV Conlon, from Journal of the Cork Historical and Archaeological Society, Vol LII (1947), pp74- 85 (pp575-577); Freemen Admitted from 1 July 1609 to 21 October 1710, in chronological order (pp578-610) and alphabetical order (pp611-632) [derived from Caulfield]; Legal and Other Terms (definitions, pp633-35); Reckonings of the Year in Various Styles (Past and Present) [calendars] (p636).

Although the loss of Cork Corporation minutes in the fires of 1891 and 1920 has done irreparable harm to the city's historical record, the present Index, and O'Shea's edition with additional information, do much to compensate for this lack. O'Shea draws heavily on Caulfield's 'Council Book', but the Index itself is an original record, apparently prepared at the end of the period which it covers, and is of particular value for the period from 1800 to 1841 not covered by Caulfield. O'Shea's edited version of the List of Freemen is a useful research tool, and his wedding of information from Caulfield with Index entries provides a deft amalgamation of the two main sources for Council history in this period. The collection is of interest to those studying the development of local government in Cork, the operations of the pre-1840 Corporation, the city's mayors and officials, leading personages, the city's buildings, and notable events in this long, key period in Cork's history.

He adds 'I think it would be a great misfortune if the North and South were separated on the question', and expresses the view that 'a bill to ensure the Ulster custom and virtually extend it to the rest of Ireland would I think command a great deal of support', although he stresses the necessity of 'security of tenure to the tenant'.

Kanturk Board of Ref. IE CCCA/BG/98 Date: 1852-1924 Level: fonds Extent: 31 vols. Guardians Scope and Content: The surviving archives of the Kanturk Board of Guardians consist of minute books, including 26 volumes of minutes of full meetings of the board of guardians, 1858- 1924 (with gaps). These include statistical information on workhouse inmates and details of workhouse life and administration. They also trace the provision and development of poor law services in the area, including the treatment of the sick and those with mental illnesses, arrangements for children, out door relief and medical treatment in dispensary districts, the challenges facing public health and sanitary provision, and the building of labourers’ cottages. The minute books also provide a glimpse of local issues and politics.

The Newmarket Dispensary committee minute book (1852-92) sheds light on the provision of public medical services in a local context. Clinics, vaccinations, midwife services, and tickets for out door relief and admission to the workhouse were all managed locally and reported on to the board of guardians, which approved matters requiring sanction.

The minutes of proceedings of the board acting as a local authority under the Labourers’ Acts (1886-1897) supply much detail on the beginnings of the provision of social housing in this large rural area. Information on the location, construction, tenancy, and quality of labourers’ cottages is recorded, along with many of the difficulties faced, such as initial poor construction standards, legal disputes with landowners, and the withholding of rent by some tenants.

The minutes of proceedings as a local authority under the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Acts (1879-99) is a rare example of such a minute book. While some information on this aspect of the board’s work is recorded in the full minutes, these distinct minutes provide much greater detail on inspections, cases, actions, and policies in this important area of agricultural hygiene and public health.

Kinsale Board of Ref. IE CCCA/BG/108 Date: 1839-1925 Level: fonds Extent: 196 items Guardians Scope and Content: The archives of the Kinsale Board of Guardians are extensive and include large numbers of minute books, letter books, indoor relief registers, financial accounts, and administrative records.

The minutes of meetings of Kinsale Board of Guardians record the administration of the workhouse and poor relief in general (BG/108/A). They also reflect developments in public health, and the care of children, and of those with disabilities and mental illness. In addition, they provide glimpses of emigration, local issues, and politics. The gap in the minutes from 1868 to 1888 is partially made up for by the presence of rough minute books for most of this period (BG/108/AA). Minutes of the board acting as a rural sanitary authority under the Labourers’ Acts trace to beginnings of the provision of social housing in the Kinsale area in the period 1886-98. (BG/108/AL).

Letter books supplement the minutes in documenting the transmission of resolutions and decisions of the board to the PLC/LGB, other state bodies, suppliers, rate-payers, and others. The outgoing letter books present, covering the years 1899- 1920, include letters of Kinsale Rural District Council, as the same clerk served both the board and the RDC (BG/108/B). An earlier letter book documents correspondence with the PLC, its architects, engineers, builders, bankers, and other suppliers in the Union’s first few years (BG/108/BB).

Financial records (1839-1925), such as general and personal ledgers and treasurer’s books, record day to day expenditure and receipts, including payments to suppliers.

A small file of medical officers’ returns, 1915-21, contains largely statistical returns of information regarding medical services in dispensary districts, such as number of cases, vaccinations, and public health issues (BG/108/DF).

Administrative records present include master’s journals (1902-08) and a master’s report book (1881-87), recording information relevant to the report made by the master of the workhouse to the board at weekly meetings (BG/108/F, FA). This includes information on provisions required, the weekly exercise of children, and matters arising, such as abandoned children received. A Workhouse farm account book (1899-1925) documents an area of activity not much reflected elsewhere in the collection (BG/108/FT).

Records of inmates of the Workhouse, especially the indoor relief registers (1841-

April 2016 Page 103 of 185

Cork City and County Archives Index to Listed Collections with Scope and Content

1917), record personal information on those who admitted to the Workhouse. They are a valuable source for family and genealogy research. The registers are supplemented by related records, such as admission and discharge books (1850- 1904; BG/108/GA), and a paupers’ discharge book (1869-84; BG/108/GK).

A similar record, a Fever Hospital patients’ register (BG/108/HE/1) is present for 1849-50. Also present is a file of correspondence relating to dispensaries, mainly relating to medical officers and dispensary premises (1915-21; BG/108/JD).

A record of death book, 1842-99, supplements other registers of inmates (BG/108/KA). Finally, a few forms relating to the Contagious Diseases (Animals) Act, 1904, are also present (BG/108/M).

The collection is of use to those studying the administrative and social history of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and to students of local and family history. The development of the poor law system, and the local experience of the Great Famine of 1845-49, are subjects of particular interest.

Copy Probate of the will and codicils of Colonel John Powell Longfield of Seafield, Co Cork, 14 October 1886 (probate 25 February 1890). He refers to the marriage settlement of his niece Mary Longfield (elsest daughter of Henry), dated 28 April 1885, stating that she has no further claims under his will. He bequeaths his property to his wife Louisa for her life, and absolutely bequeaths her his linen, plate, cash, cheques, and other domestic articles, and refers to their marriage settlement of 15 September 1848. He devises and bequeaths lands at Newtown (Ballykillen), parish of Ballyclough, to his nephew Captain William Henry Longfield, in accordance with agreement with his father Henry dated 14 July 1852. He leaves and bequeaths to his nephew Lieutenant Alfred Purcell Longfield his interest in lands of Gurtnagross and Kilcranathan, his house on Main St, Mallow, and his interest in two villas near Queenstown (Cobh). He leaves his nephew Mountifort Longfield lands of Monavourla and Bologue (Lavally Upper), parish of Rahan. He refers to lands of Ballymacshoneen, parish of Lislee, and Knockentota East (Rockhill), barony of Barretts, and authorises Alfred and Mountifort to raise jointures of up to £100 per annum for any woman they may marry. He makes cash bequests to his sister Patience Conner (Manch House, Co Cork), to his niece Kathleen Augusta Longfield ('provided she shall marry with the consent of her mother'), to Mountifort and Alfred, and to his sister Dora Roche (New Zealand). He appoints his nephew Henry Daniel Conner, barrister, Dublin, and his cousin Henry Longfield, Broad View, Mallow, as trustees, and makes stipulations regarding investment in government, bank, railway, and other stock. In a codicil dated 20 February 1889, he removes 'uncontrolled expenditure' of income from his wife, owing to 'temptation... in consequence of her isolated position after my decease and her want of knowledge of the world and unfitness from age', transferring control to the trustees of his will. Income beyond that needed for his wife is to be divided between the children of his brother Henry (one half) and his sister Patience Conner (one half). Noting that his nephew William Henry Longfield has died, he leaves lands at Newtown to Mountifort Longfield. A second codicil, 7 June 1889, appoints Rev Richard H Loane,

Christ Church, , as an additional trustee. A third codicil, 6 July 1889, removes his niece Kathleen Augusta as a residuary legatee, referring to her marriage to Alfred Robinson McMullen and the moiety left to her in his wife's will. 10pp 4. Rental of Lands of Ballinbroky and Ballinmillish, barony of Ibane and Barryroe (printed). The lands are subject to 999 year leases. The rental states the denomination, tenants' names, gale days, yearly rent, quantity of land, instrument of tenure (eg, judicial rent), and observations (eg, 'House and Garden'). The first denomination listed, c108 acres, is unoccupied and 'Observations' state that it contains the mansion house and offices of Seacourt. Its advantages are described for 'the purchaser'. The item is undated but reference is made to judicial rents agreed by William Longfield as receiver on December 1882. 2pp The collection documents the land and property interests of a prominent mid-Cork family. The names of tenants in SM811/4, and the arrangements regarding female family members set forth in SM811/2 and, especially, SM811/3, are of particular research value.

Lord Mayor's Ref. IE CCCA/SM796 Date: September - October 1920 Level: item Extent: 2pp Prayer (1920) Scope and Content: Printed item ' Lord Mayor's Prayer', message to the prisoners on hunger-strike in Cork gaol from Lord Mayor Terence MacSwiney.

Lord Mayor Ref. IE CCCA/PR4 Date: March-July 1920 Level: fonds Extent: 363 items Terence Mac Scope and Content: Administrative files containing incoming and copy outgoing letters. Although the Swiney Files collection covers the period from 1919 to 1920 most of the documents concentrate on the period of March to July 1920 and are primarily administrative. There are two distinct themes, that of MacSwiney as Lord Mayor of Cork and also MacSwiney as the Commanding Officer of Cork No.1 Brigade, Irish Volunteers. The only file with an original title was File 2, labelled 'Finance' which includes correspondence concerning the establishment of an Irish taxation department, the accumulation of revenue from the renewal of licences and the collection of money for the Dáil Éireann Loan in Cork. However these themes are not exclusive to this particular file and neither do they dominate it. This is a common trait in all six files for although they appear to have been kept as separate administrative files by MacSwiney the subject matter throughout the collection continuously overlaps.

The principle correspondents are Diarmuid O'Hegarty, Secretary Dáil Éireann, Austin Stack, Substitute Minister for Home Affairs, Michael Collins, Minister for Finance and Kevin O'Higgins, Substitute Minister for Local Government. To a lesser extent there are also letters from Liam de Róiste, T.D., Desmond Fitzgerald, Director of Propaganda, , Acting President Dáil Éireann and Daniel Corkery. In terms of the Irish Volunteer movement Gearóid O'Sullivan, Adjutant General and , Chief of Staff are the main correspondents. Letters are also exchanged with the Commanding Officers of Cork No.3 Brigade, Tom Hales and the

April 2016 Page 110 of 185

Cork City and County Archives Index to Listed Collections with Scope and Content

6th Battalion Commandant, T.S. O'Gorbidhe. The main themes overlapping in the files are the establishment and early workings of the National Arbitration Courts, the separation from English Local Government to Irish Local Government, the foundation of an Irish taxation system and the collection of funds in Mid Cork and Cork City for the Dáil Éireann Loan Fund. The foundation of a nation-wide regional judicial system is particularly emphasised in MacSwiney's correspondence with Austin Stack, Substitute Minister for Home Affairs. There are a number of requests and reports commenting on the progress of MacSwiney's constituency in setting up Republican Courts (PR4/2/1) and a continuous eagerness to show these courts to American journalists (PR4/4/63). One of the earliest working tests and frequent subject in the papers is the case of R. Power, Tramore, County Waterford whose action highlights the starting difficulties and resolutions of this new system. (PR4/2/3, PR4/6/15).

Another dominant theme explored in the files are the many difficulties arising out of the break with English Local Authorities. There are a number of reports concerning inquiries into the state of Local Government in Ireland and the financial and legal problems that separation from England would entail. To protect the continued existence of County Councils, Sinn Féin members were asked to sign resignation forms in advance and much of MacSwiney's correspondence with Kevin O'Higgins, Substitute Minister for Local Government, is concerned with this procedure and MacSwiney's own efforts to have the Government appoint a 'locum tenens' to take the place of the "resigned" councillor. (PR4/3/14, PR4/6/76).

The final principle correspondent is Diarmuid O'Hegarty, who in his capacity as Dáil Éireann Secretary, frequently wrote to MacSwiney regarding arrangements for meetings, safe addresses for correspondence and MacSwiney's inspection of Limerick Technical School. Other general correspondence with MacSwiney concerns letters of sympathy with Volunteers who had been imprisoned (PR4/6/82), requests for employment (PR4/6/45) and sponsorship (PR4/6/70) and Cork Corporation's support for both the Resolution of Allegiance to Dáil Éireann (PR4/5/1)and the resolution supporting the beatification of Oliver Plunkett (PR4/6/12).

Another matter which generates a significant amount of material is the death and murder of Tomás MacCurtain, Lord Mayor of Cork. This includes MacSwiney's own acceptance speech as Lord Mayor of Cork (PR4/1/1), Cork Corporation's resolution condemning the murder of MacCurtain (PR4/5/18) and the very many letters from MacSwiney regarding subscriptions to the MacCurtain Memorial Fund (PR4/5/95, PR4/6/89).

Material on the Irish Volunteers centres on General Orders, reports of raids, Royal Irish Constabulary membership, and inquiries into breaches of discipline. The General Orders concern Volunteer conduct, seizure of arms, rules of correspondence and the establishment of a voluntary police force. There are several reports of successful attacks to Richard Mulcahy, Chief of Staff (PR4/4/50) and a number of letters from MacSwiney dealing with complaints of ill-treatment and unauthorised action particularly the looting of Woods (PR4/2/18, PR4/4/48). Another strong theme is the enforcement of the R.I.C. boycott and the problems associated with the precise nature of this boycott and its effects on trade (PR4/4/92, PR4/5/43). There are also a limited number of editions of An Toglach, An Saorstat and Misneach.

Also additional item, copy of MS. letter (19 Apr 1920) from MacSwiney concerning the MacCurtain Memorial Fund (PR4/A/1)

Transcript of Inquest Proceedings made by RW Ludgate, reporters room, Examiner Office, Cork.

Macroom Board of Ref. IE CCCA/BG/115 Date: 1852-1924 Level: fonds Extent: 40 volumes Guardians Scope and Content: Unfortunately, many of the records of Macroom union have not survived, possibly owing to the fire which destroyed the workhouse in 1921. Only 22 volumes of minutes of board meetings, one indoor relief register of inmates/patients, and a few other volumes are in existence. There are no minutes prior to 1884 and many gaps thereafter up to the final volume for 1923-24. The early years of the union, and its experience of the Great Famine (1845-49), which is known to have made a grave impact on the region, sadly are not documented in the present collection. The present minutes do, however, shed light on the provision of poor law and public health services in this relatively remote area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Dispensary services, out door relief, and the boarding out of children are all extensively documented, for example. There are also many references to the need for district doctors to have a knowledge of Irish, owing to the large Irish- speaking population of the area. This became something of a political issue in 1920, as the board sought to increase its own use of Irish and to include a language requirement when making appointments, despite opposition from the LGB (BG/115/A/19). The board made many political resolutions, in particular calling several times for the release of political prisoners. In 1923 it voted not to sign a letter from the Local Government Department requiring that preference be given to former National Army members when making appointments. It was further resolved not to meet until political prisoners were released, although this was later rescinded (BG/115/A/22). Overall, the minutes provide a varied, if piecemeal, picture of the Poor Law at work, and of the development of local government and nationalist and republican politics, in the Macroom area. The three surviving letterbooks (BG/115/BA/1-3) supplement the minutes with sets of letters received, mainly from the Local Government Board and the Local Government Department, the first two volumes covering years (1901, 1918) for which no minutes have survived. The financial records present, including general ledgers (BG/115/CA), one receipts book (BG/115/CD), and a bank pass book (BG/115/CL) shed light on the daily operations and transactions of the union in the 20th century. The Inchigeela Dispensary Medical Officer’s Return Book (BG/115/DF/1) is a rare example of a dispensary statistical record, and while it does not give names, it does give information on numbers of patients and the nature of their illnesses. It is also the earliest surviving record (1852-54). The one remaining indoor relief register (BG/115/G/1) provides information on inmates and hospital patients in the period 1916 to 1921, and may be of interest for family history research, as well as providing a glimpse of workhouse life in the final

Cork City and County Archives Index to Listed Collections with Scope and Content

years of the system. The matron’s requisition book (BG/115/HH), documenting purchases for the infirmary, adds a different perspective. The final two items present, the Boarded Out Children Contract Book (BG/115/IC) and the List of Boarded Out Children (BG/115/ID), both covering the early decades of the 20th century, are rare examples of such records, which have not survived for other Cork unions. They document vital childcare services in the era before formal adoption, and, together with the minute books, shed light on the lives and experiences of orphan, founding, and deserted children at that time. They add a fascinating extra dimension to this incomplete but important collection of Poor law records.

Major Thomas Ref. IE CCCA/U77 Date: 1806-1847 Level: file Extent: 10 items Newenham Scope and Content: Letters and material principally relating to research by Major Thomas Newenham, Coolmore, author of a number of political tracts about Ireland, possibly for his book, 'A view of the natural, political and commercial circumstances of Ireland' (1809), and/or his 'Address on the subject of Catholic emancipation, to the Protestant noblemen,and principal Protestant gentlemen, of the County of Cork' (1809).

Mallow Board of Ref. IE CCCA/BG/116 Date: 1839-1919 Level: fonds Extent: 45 vols. Guardians Scope and Content: The surviving archives of the Mallow Board of Guardians consist, apart from one related item, of 44 minute books containing minutes of full meetings of the board of guardians, 1839-1917 (with gaps). The ordinary minutes include statistical information on workhouse inmates and details of workhouse life and administration. From the 1850s the volumes contain minutes of proceedings under the Medical Charities Acts and, from the 1870s, the Public Health Acts, documenting the board’s increasing role in health and sanitation, and the work of dispensaries and medical officers in the dispensary districts. From the late 1880s, the minutes also record proceedings in connection with providing labourers’ cottages to agricultural labourers and their families. From 1899, this work became a function of Mallow Rural District Council, and some labourers records created by the union were transferred to the RDC, and now form part of the Mallow RDC collection (RDC/116), also at this Archive. The other item present, an agenda book 1917-19, was kept by the clerk of the union, who also served as clerk of the RDC. The volume covers agendas for meetings of both bodies, but contains more Poor Law Union material, including lists of payments to be submitted to the board’s finance committee. The volume illustrates the close relationship between the two bodies, and also provides a partial record of the board’s activities up to July 1919. Taken altogether, the records trace the provision and development of poor law services in the area, including the treatment of the sick and those with mental illnesses, arrangements for children, out door relief and medical treatment (including vaccination) in dispensary districts, the challenges facing public health and sanitary provision, and the beginnings of the provision of labourers’ cottages. The minute books also shed light on dealings with other bodies including the PLC/LGB, the Office of Public Works, Mallow RDC, Mallow Town Commissioners, and Cork County Council. Subjects such as the Great Famine (1845-49), the First World

War (1914-18), and (intermittently) emigration are also documented. In addition, some resolutions provide a glimpse of local issues and politics, e.g., a police attack on demonstrators in Mallow on 22 May 1917 [see BG/116/A/120].

Mallow Industrial Ref. IE CCCA/SM846 Date: 1958 - 1960 Level: item Extent: 95pp Development Scope and Content: Minute book of Mallow Industrial and General Development Association, 13 Mar Association Minute 1958 - 12 Apr 1960. Following the meeting of 13 March at which the association Book was proposed, a provisional committee met on 2 April to form recommendations on the scope and administration of the association. 'Aims and objects' proposed included 'to establish a body which would be a recognised source of contact for local and existing interests', 'to develop existing industries and local trade', 'to secure new industries', 'to develop tourism', to form sub-committees as required, to assist existing local organisations. The new association was acclaimed at a public meeting of 9 April, and the first meeting of members took place on 23 April. The following existing local organisations subscribed as members: Mallow Workers Council; Irish Transport and General Workers Union; Duhallow Hunt Club; Mallow Labour Party; Amalgamated Engineering Union; Mallow Town Traders Association; Mallow Irish Country Women's Association; Mallow Horticultural Society; Mallow Vintners Association; Clock [House Interests Ltd]; Fianna Fail Party; Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association; Party. General meetings were held quarterly, and committee meetings monthly. Matters considered included the commercial possibilities of clay deposits in Ballymagooley, local bus services, developing coarse fishing, the erection of a swimming pool in the town, planting of trees, organisation of a 'Civic Week' for Mallow, Christmas lighting, a new water scheme, and communications with Government and private industries regarding new industrial possibilities for the town. At the meeting of 11 Nov 1958 local traders complained of provision of goods to employees by Mallow Sugar Co. At the next general meeting on 9 Dec it was proposed 'that all workers' wives should buy Irish Golden Syrup'. The meeting of 11 Aug 1959 discussed preparation of a brochure promoting the town to 'prospective industrialists '. At the meeting of 12 Jan 1960 correspondence with Messrs Lee Cooper Ltd, England, on setting up in Ireland was read. The meeting of 12 Apr 1960 discussed arrangements connected with the first evening race meeting to be held in Mallow. After 9 Feb 1959 meetings evidently occurred less regularly, and it appears the association ceased to meet after July 1960 (when minutes of the last recorded meeting were signed). The minute book is an interesting record of attempts by a to address the problems of unemployment and lack of industrial development which were endemic in Ireland in the 1950s, prior to rapid economic growth of the 1960s.

twentieth centuries, and to students of local and family history. The development of the poor law system, and the local experience of the Great Famine of 1845-49, are subjects of particular interest.

A great many subjects, of which only a few are mentioned here, are covered in the minute books of meetings of the Midleton Board of Guardians.

Murphy Papers Ref. IE CCCA/U76 Date: 1807-1849 (1689; 1903; 1970s) Level: file Extent: 13 Ballymore, Co. items Scope and Content: Tipperary The collection consists of photocopies of a small number legal documents, letters and notes relating to the Murphy family of Ballymore, Co Tipperary. An unsigned note (U76/5) provides an account of Patrick Murphy’s arrival in Tipperary from Co Kilkenny in 1689, and of the first few generations of Murphys at Ballymore and elsewhere in South Tipperary. Family history notes and draft family trees present attempt to document the family’s descent more fully (U76/6-7).

The legal documents relate mainly to Mick Murphy, and include an 1807 lease by him of lands at Ballymore from a Daniel Murphy (possibly his father), the lands being owned by Sir Thomas Judkin Fitzgerald (U76/2). Murphy leased further land from the Fitzgeralds in nearby Lislowryn in 1818, this land coming into the possession of his son Michael in 1849 (U76/3-4). A residuary account of the elder Mick Murphy’s will gives an overview of his estate and goods on his death in 1834, and his arrangements for his family. His sons Daniel and Michael, both parties to the 1849 deed, emigrated to the USA that same year, and sent letters from New York and Illinois to their mother and their brother John Baldwin Murphy (U76/10-12; copies of these letters also occur in U6 Murphy-Baldwin Correspondence). Also present are two earlier letters received by Mick Murphy from his brother-in-law John Baldwin Junior, then on military service under Wellington in Spain and Portugal

(U76/8-9; also in U6). The latest item, a 1903 business letter with the letterhead of TJ Clanchy’s Great Munster Dairies, is evidence of the link between the Murphys and Clanchys, Dr Edmond Murphy marrying Elizabeth Clanchy, daughter of TJ, in 1899 (U76/13; a copy of this item is in PR11 Papers of TJ Clanchy (d1897) & Family).

The collection is useful for those studying the genealogy of Murphy families of South Tipperary, and provides evidence of connections with the Baldwins of Cahir and the Clanchys of Cork. It is significant that Daniel and , sons of Mick, emigrated to the USA in 1849, despite Daniel’s interest in lands at Lislowryn being assigned to Michael that same year. This suggests they were struggling financially as farmers, and were endeavouring to reestablish themselves in America, their brother John having become a lawyer in Dublin. The family’s land interests in south Tipperary seem to have ended at this time, as documented in some of the items present. The Napoleonic war adventures of their uncle John Baldwin and the families’ later Clanchy connections provide colour and context to the collection, and link it with the related collections U6 and PR11.

O'Flynn Exham Ref. IE CCCA/U229 Date: (1356) c.1500 – 1910 (c.1956) Level: fonds Extent: 175 Solicitors boxes (6,140 items) Scope and Content: Solicitors papers including various types of deeds including leases, mortgages, marriage settlements and wills, correspondence with clients, correspondence on behalf of clients, case documents, court documents, financial documents, and legal minutae, plus some personal correspondence. Covers a very large number of solicitors, families, clients and estates including, for example, Coppinger, French, Earl of Listowel, Lord Shannon, Jephson, and Lord Cork.

In terms of geographical coverage, the majority of the collection relates to Cork city and county, however a substantial number of items are also related to estates and property in many other parts of Ireland including for instance Kerry, Waterford, Tipperary, Limerick and Dublin.

The earliest item in the collection is a 1356 deed relating to the grant of a mill and water in the city of Waterford from the Mayor, burghers and bailiffs to William Goer (U229/99/2). Also found are 4 items from the 1400’s relating to property in Cork, Clonmel and Waterford, including a 1474 Enfeoffment of property next to the mill in the burgage of Shandon in Cork city (U229/101/2 ; see also 101/1, 101/3 and 83/1).

A small number of items from this period also relate to the estate of Sir William Penn in Cork (see U229/143/1 etc.)

The collection contains about 795 items dating from the 18th century, including a Cork Grand Jury document from 1708-13 concerning overseers for bridges in Co. Cork, of special interest due to the almost complete loss of the records for both the county and the city of Cork Grand Juries (U229/3/2). From this period are a large number of leases such as a 1776 lease by John Bass, merchant to Benson Lawton, merchant, of a house on Morrison’s Island, Cork, for 500 years at £25 p.a. (U229/2/19). A large number of items from this period also mention the names French, Newman, Towgood, Coppinger, and Hare.

the 1880s, and 480 from the 1890s. At least 100 items directly relate to ejectments/evictions from property. A sizeable portion of the items from this century (over 1400 items) relate in some way to the Coppingers, including solicitors of the same name, including a good deal of correspondence, mainly legal and financial in nature, but also including a small number of more personal items such as an 1877 letter from [W.R.] Coppinger as Treasurer of the Society for the Propagation of the Roman Catholic Faith, concerning a legacy. (U229/4/14/11).

Approximately 600 items date from the early 20th century, mainly from the 1900- 1920 period including several items relating to the sale of land and the Irish Land Commission (U229/41 etc.).

farewell from 'your old comrade' (Brixton, 24 September 1920; U207/15). Copies of fronts of four envelopes also present (U207/16).

Contains newspaper cuttings, many containing pictures, primarily from the Cork Examiner, but also some from the Daily Mirror and the Daily Sketch.

Roibárd Langford Ref. IE CCCA/U156 Date: 1913-1973 Level: fonds Extent: 50 items Papers Scope and Content: Personal archive of Riobárd Langford (aka Robert Lankford). Section A comprises material directly relating to Langford’s Irish Volunteer/ IRA activities in the 1914- 1923 period.

Section A.1 of the arrangement contains 2 items relating to the foundation of the Irish Volunteers, including an account of the inaugural meeting of the Volunteers in Cork in Dec. 1913, which indicates Langford’s early involvement in the organisation (U156/2).

Section A.2 contains a summary account of Langford’s active service, divided into 9 periods, during 1916-1923 (U156/3). Significantly, this account includes new information and covers a longer period than that found in Langford’s witness statement to the Military History Bureau in 1947.

The collection contains a copy of Langford’s Military History Bureau witness statement to which he has added some short handwritten notes and comments which do not appear in the Bureau version (Section A.6) (U156/18).

Section A.3 contains a small number of items relating to 1916 in Cork and the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of 1916 in 1966, demonstrating Langford’s ongoing interest, and sometimes fractious relationship with, the various 1916 or Volunteer commemorative associations and committees (U156/6). The issue of whether Cork volunteers were eligible for 1916 medals was a matter in which Seamus Fitzgerald became involved, writing a letter to Taoiseach Sean Lemass (U156/7).

A small number of items relating to the killing of Col. Smyth, divisional commander, RIC, in April 1920 by the IRA, are found in A.4 of the arrangement, including Langford’s correspondence concerning the matter with the Irish Press. (U156/10)

Section A.5 mainly consists of items relating to some of Langford’s comrades in the irregular or anti-Treaty IRA such as a copy of the inquest into the shooting of Captain Timothy Kenefick (U156/13) and copies of the last letters of Richard Barrett (Dick Barrett) before his execution by the State (U156/14, 16).

Section B of the arrangement contains 7 items relating to the issue of Military Service Pensions for IRA volunteers including a letter concerning Langford’s application under the Military Service Pensions Act 1934. (U156/20)

Various writings, mainly in Langford’s hand, are found in Section C of the arrangement such as notes on the 1914-1923 period (U156/28) and such as, a TS. of an essay or lecture, mainly in Irish, about the (U156/35); and such as, the text of a speech made in 1969 by Langford at , near Bandon in West Cork, in memory of Dick Barrett, Rory O’Connor, Liam Mellowes and Joseph

McKelvey, who were executed in retaliation for the murder of Sean Hales TD.

Section D contains some newsclippings relating mainly nationalist issues, plus an 8 page printed pamphlet ‘Teachers of the Men of 1916’ (U156/39).

Relating to Langford’s later business as a printer, Lee Press, is a single item only, concerning the wholesale price of paper (U156/44).

Section F of the arrangement contains an additional item, a letter from Langford to the Secretary of the Old IRA Memorial Committee in 1948 concerning the suggestion of slanderous comments by Langford in another letter he wrote to the Secretary in which he raised objections to the way the Committee operated (U156/45).

The collection, while relatively modest in size, is of interest to the study of Irish nationalism and republicanism and more particularly the Irish Volunteers and Irish Republican Army for the 1914 – 1923 period, especially for the Cork area. The collection documents Langfords activities as an officer in the Irish Volunteers and the IRA from 1914/1916, during the War of Independence, and also in the irregular/anti-treaty forces during the Civil War. Some prominent nationalist and republican figures are mentioned in the collection. Also of interest to the study of the agencies concerned with the commemoration of 1916, and its 50th anniversary in particular, and also concerning the provision of military pensions for former IRA men from 1934.

Schull Board of Ref. IE CCCA/BG/145 Date: May 1920-April 1924 Level: fonds Extent: 3 vols. Guardians Scope and Content: The surviving minutes of Schull Board of Guardians (BG/145/A) cover only the last four years of its existence. It would appear that earlier minutes and other records were lost when the workhouse burned down in June 1921. As no records for Skibbereen board of guardians have survived, the history of poor relief in this large area of west Cork is sadly largely undocumented. The Great Famine (1845-49) is known to have had a catastrophic impact on the region, but information on this

period may only be gathered from other sources, such as the records of the Poor Law Commissioners. The development of poor relief and public health services in the Schull area in the later part of the nineteenth century, and the changing structures which followed the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, are also not recorded in the present collection. The surviving minutes, for the period from May 1920 to April 1924, do shed light on the last days of the workhouse, and on out door relief and the dispensary district system. The boarding out, or fostering, of children is a recurring subject. The changing relationships with the Local Government Board, the Local Government Department of Dail Eireann, Cork County Council, and other unions and institutions are also recorded. Dealings with Bantry, Clonakilty, and Cork unions, in the context of the proposed amalgamation of unions, and the loss of workhouses, first in Bantry and later in Schull, are particularly interesting. The minutes also reflect the politics of the time. Many selections from the minutes for this final period in the union’s history are included in the descriptive list.

Sent to Chief Secretary's Office, Dublin Castle, by the File Royal Irish Constabulary, concerning a Sinn Fein meeting held in Macroom on 5 October 1919. The Sinn Fein meeting was attended by T.J. McSweeney (Terence MacSwiney) MP, Daniel Corkery, Denis Lynch, Patrick O’Connor, John Kelleher, John Healy, Patrick O’Donoghue, Jeremiah Leahy and Michael Kelleher, and it may have concerned the raising of the Dáil Éireann loan.

Skidmore Trust File Ref. IE CCCA/SM651 Date: (1584) 1930 - 1980 Level: fonds Extent: c.93 items (Skiddy's Charity) Scope and Content: File, entitled 'Skidmore Trust' concerning the administration of the Skidmore or Skiddy Charity. The file begins with an extract from the Council Book of the Corporation of Cork regarding the 1584 will of Stephen Skidmore als Skiddy, followed by correspondence between Cork Corporation, the Vintner's Company of London, and the Atlas Assurance Co Ltd, regarding the origins of the arrangement whereby the latter firm arranges for the passing of the sum of £24 per annum under the Trust from the Vintner's Company to the Lord Mayor of Cork. A letter of 17 Nov 1930 from District Inspector [Atlas Assurance] to the Branch Manager, Dublin, explains that it originated with William Lumley Perrier, original secretary and trustee of the Trust, who was an agent for Atlas Assurance in Cork. Atlas Assurance was taken over by Royal Exchange Assurance [in 1964] and, following a 1968 merger, became part of Guardian Royal Exchange. The annual remittance was paid by the Vintners to Atlas Assurance, who forwarded it to Bernard Dooly & Son, auctioneers, Cork, evidently acting as receivers on behalf of Cork Corporation.

The present draft adds little to the published version, which is of interest in illustrating aspects of estate management, and of 1974, Jan-Jun 1975) Irish social history, in the middle of the 19th century. The journals mention the names of tenants and of prominent persons with whom Sir John had business and social dealings, including, eg, Thomas Spring-Rice (Lord Mounteagle, Chancellor of the Exchequer 1835-39), Sir Thomas Larcom (Under-Secretary for Ireland 1853-68), Henry Arthur Herbert (Chief Secretary for Ireland 1857-58), Isaac Butt (1813-79, barrister and nationalist politician), Lord Mulgrave (1818-90, colonial governor), John Francis Maguire (1815-72, founder and editor of Cork Examiner and politician), Daniel O'Connell (d1897, MP and son of the Liberator), and Sir William Coddrington (British commander in chief at Crimea). Contemporary events, such as the Crimean War and US Civil War, are mentioned. There are scarcely any direct references to the Great Famine, and only a few to emigration, but the journals are largely concerned with Sir John's work on reform of land tenure and estate administration, which gathered pace in the post-Famine period.

The Last 3 Days of Ref. IE CCCA/SM839 Date: 1922 [23 Nov 1922] Level: fonds Extent: 6pp Michael Collins Scope and Content: Typescript first person account, 'The Last 3 Days of Michael Collins' [by Emmet [Emmet Dalton] Dalton]. Unsigned, with several ms notes, and last two pages in ms pencil. On Oglaigh na hEireann (Irish Army) stationery. The statement begins 'The war which had been forced on the people of Ireland by the Mutineers from the I.R.A. had been in progress for two months, and Cork had been captured by forces under my Command'. It goes on to describe Collins' unexpected visit on 20 August, and the reasons behind it (to review the military situation, and, as government chairman and minister of finance, to seek to recover customs and excise money stolen by Irregulars). There then follows a detailed account of the tour of West Cork, which departed from the Imperial Hotel, Cork, at 6:15am on 22 August, and stopped at Macroom, Clonakilty, Sam's Cross [Collins' birthplace], Rosscarbery, Skibbereen, and

Bandon. On the way back to Cork the convoy was ambushed, and Collins insisted that the driver stop and the enemy be engaged. Collins is reported to have shouted out 'Emmet, I am hit!' shortly before he was found mortally wounded. His death, the wounding of a second officer, and the journey back to Cork are also described. The writer recalls his feelings while proceeding through Cork: 'The thought struck me that those poor people had gone peacefully to their nightly rest, all unconscious of the calamity that had befallen them'. The present account is of particular interest as a draft, with amendments in pen, and the last two pages written in pencil, described as 'alternative for 5 & 6'. It is an important early version of a first-hand account of a key event in Irish history.

Thomas Lyons Ref. IE CCCA/SM775 Date: 7 March 1832 - 27 Apr 1850 Level: series Extent: 14 Incoming items Scope and Content: Correspondence Series of MS. letters written to Thomas Lyons.

Main part of the series consists of 10 letters from Daniel O’Connell MP, mainly in relation to political matters, particularly the campaign for the Repeal of the Act of Union. A number of O’Connell’s letters contain strongly worded sentiments in support of Repeal and encouragement to his allies and supporters of the importance of this campaign. In one 7 page letter dated 18 Apr 1845, he accepts the invitation from the Committee of the Repeal Wardens of Cork to a public entry into the city, and to a Repeal Meeting and a Repeal Banquet. He writes that he is delighted to be ‘...the instrument of another perfectly peaceable exhibition...’ of Cork’s support, through legal and constitutional means, of the restoration of Irish Nationality (SM775/9).

The remainder of the series consists of a note from the leader of the Whigs at Westminster and later Prime Minister, Lord John Russell (b1792 – d 1878), 1841; and single letters from Bishop of Cork John Murphy (b1772 – d1847), 1843; Mayor of Waterford Thomas Meagher (b c1795 – d.1874), 1843; and the former political manager of Daniel O’Connell, Patrick Vincent Fitzpatrick (b1792 – d1866), 1850.

The series is an important source regarding the Repeal and reform campaign as headed by Daniel O’Connell, and also regarding the efforts made locally in Cork to advance the cause of repeal for example by putting liberal/repeal candidates forward for election, and holding meetings and banquets, often with O’Connell as the guest speaker.

TJ Clanchy, Cork Ref. IE CCCA/PR11 Date: 1860-1946 (1991) Level: fonds Extent: 2 boxes Butter Merchant Scope and Content: Papers relating to T. J. Clanchy, Cork butter merchant (1835-1897). The collection is of interest in documenting both the family and the public lives of a prominent Cork figure in the later 19th century. The family papers, including legal documents, correspondence, photographs, and memorabilia, reveal the formal and informal ties connecting Clanchy’s large family. His daughter Elizabeth kept most of the collection together and passed it on to her daughter, Sheila Murphy. There are photographs of Clanchy’s son, Hugh, who served in the First World War, and of his daughter Mary, who became a nun in the Society of the Sacred Heart. Mary provided Sheila Murphy, her step-niece, with accounts of growing up in the Clanchy home at ‘Sunville’ (PR11/24). Clanchy himself seems to have written some light verse for publication, but most of his efforts, along with his own illustrations, were for the amusement of his children ( PR11/32). These stand in contrast with more serious work, such as his book, Ireland in the Twentieth Century .

While the collection contains some record of Clanchy’s business, as well as his public and charitable work, it is the small volume of political correspondence, relating to the Irish Parliamentary Party in the 1890s, which is of most interest. The Irish Party in these years was riven by dissension. The split into Parnellite and Anti-Parnellite factions in 1891-92 was traumatic, creating a long-lasting division and ongoing bitterness. While the Anti-Parnellite group became the dominant one and retained the name of the Irish Party, factions continued to jostle for control of the party and its organisational machinery. Party debts and funds, including the ‘Paris Fund’ set up to assist evicted tenants, also became sources of dispute, as a letter to Clanchy from WJ Lane, the prominent Cork merchant, reveals (PR11/43).

The letters in the present collection shed light on a difficult Party Committee election in 1895 (PR11/45-47). They also include correspondence between Clanchy and Justin McCarthy, chairman of the Irish Party (PR11/42, 43). While he declined the invitation to run for parliament himself, Clanchy was clearly a loyal Party man, providing advice and financial assistance. Also present is a letter from TA O’Callaghan, Catholic bishop of Cork, regarding an election, hinting at the close involvement of the Catholic hierarchy in nationalist politics (PR11/44) .

Taken altogether, this small but interesting collection provides an insight into the social and political milieu of a Cork upper middle class family around the turn of twentieth century, as well as lovingly documenting its domestic life.

Vanderplas Cork Ref. IE CCCA/U675 Date: 1598, 1610-1677, 1694 Level: fonds Extent: 61 items Deeds Scope and Content: MS. parchment deeds relating to property, estates and business transactions mainly in Cork city and environs. The majority of the items date from from the period 1610- 1677, with a particular concentration in the 1620s, 1630s, 1660s and 1670s.

The earliest item in the collection is a 1598 lease by John Roche of a house and other property to his brother Patrick Roche fitz Morris, including 20 acres near Ballinlough and property outside Cork City’s South Gate, above St. Augustine’s Abbey (the ‘Red Abbey’) and near the Holy Rood Church (Church of St Mary Del Nard). (U675/1)

The latest item in the collection is a 1694 indenture between Ignatius Gould, alderman, of Cork, John Baggot of Baggotstowne in the county of Limerick Esquire, Stephen Gallway of Cork gentleman, and Robert Power of the Middle Temple, London Esquire, concerning the town and lands of Lehanaghmore in ‘ye County of ye said Citty of Corke’ (the County of the City of Cork). (U675/61)

A large number of people are mentioned in the deeds, including those parties involved in the transaction, and also those acting as witnesses or in an official capacity. We find several names closely associated with ancient Cork, particularly of Old English origin, including for instance, Gould/Goold, Galwey/Gallway, Meagh, Coppinger, Martell, Morrogh, Roche, Ronayne, Sarsfield, Skiddy, Tyrry (Terry), Verdon, and Fitzgerald. .

A distinctly large number of items in the collection directly involve those with the names Gould and Meagh. In particular, several items relate to merchant Ignatius Gould (possibly the Jacobite Mayor of Cork City in 1687), gentleman James Fitz Thomas Gould, and alderman Thomas Fitz George Gould.

From the mid 17th century, other names appear, including Evans, Busteed, Hodder, Johnson, Parker, Penn, St.Leger, Wright, and Brodrick, reflecting the major political upheavals and wars of the mid to late 17th century, which resulted in a new set of political masters and property owners in Ireland.

Names of Gaelic origin are much less prevalent in the collection, however there are a few references to the names Cartie/McCarthy, Collins, Hurley, Murphy, O’Callaghan, O’Cronin, O’Crowley, O’Keeffe, and O’Scannell. (See the Index of Persons)

2 items relate to debts owed in 1670 by James Gould, gentleman, to William Penn (b1644-d1718, founder of the State of Pennsylvania), who was sent to Ireland in c.1667 by his father, Admiral Sir William Penn, to manage the extensive family estates in Cork. (U675/48, and /49)

All of the deeds concern estates, property or monies in one way or another in Cork City, the Liberties of Cork City, and in County Cork. The deeds often mention the properties by townland and parish name and/or proximity to a landmark or other noteable location. Amongst the places mentioned are Ballinlough, Carrigeens, Farranferris, Shandon, Huggardsland, Knockrea, Milstreet, and St.Peters parish in Cork City, and Ballyphilip, Garraneboy, Killdorrery and Kinsale in County Cork. Sometimes baronies are also mentioned. (See Index of Places)

Of particular note are a number of Statute Staple related deeds, concerning the recognisance or settling of debt, the first dated 1618, involving a debt of 300

Cork City and County Archives Index to Listed Collections with Scope and Content

pounds, signed and sealed by the Mayor of the Staple, David Tyrry Fitz Stephen (U675/3; see also: U675/14, U675/15, U675/20, U675/44, U675/49).

A number of items from the 1660s and 1670s appear to relate to the possible recovery of property by Catholic families following the restoration of the monarchy with the accession of Charles II in 1660, including a 1661/1662 Decree of Innocency for Mary and Anstance Gould, relating to the 1641 estate of their father Alderman Thomas Gould, and signed by the relevant court commissioners including Thomas Beverley, Sir Edward Dering, Sir Richard Rainsford, Sir Edward Smyth, Sir Allen Brodrick, Edward Cooke, Winston Churchill, and Sir William Domville (U675/35, U675/38, U675/51).

The collection contains a small number of wills including that of Ann Meagh, widow of Merchant Patrick Lewes, 1610 (U675/2), Merchant James Meagh fitz James, 1665 (U675/42), and James Gould fitz Thomas, Gentleman,1670 (U675/50).

The collection is significant as it helps to document Cork’s history in the early modern period, a period for which archival sources are scarce. The terms and conditions, descriptions of property, and types of legal transactions documented in the deeds may be of interest to the study of land ownership and tenure, trade and commerce, family inheritance, and the confiscation and restoration of lands during the political troubles of a key period in Irish History. The collection is particularly useful regarding the family history of the old merchant families of Cork, who, in common with the Gaelic Irish, suffered the loss of their property, and who were largely dispossessed of their power, lands and privileges by the end of the 17th century.

White, Water Buildings, Waring Street, Belfast, to Estate, Co Limerick 'Dear Sir', regarding estate and land ownership matters, referring to the Goold/Versachoyle-Goold estate in Athea, West county Limerick. 'In the North of Ireland we do not realise the extraordinary revolution that is taking place in the South under the Land Purchase Acts'. The author relates that he intends to review the recent purchase of the estate in order to refute charges of bigotry leveled against the Catholics of the South and to exemplify the changes taking place. Sergeant Goold bought the lands in question from Lord Courtenay in c.1817 and was a life long friend of Daniel O'Connell ('The Liberator'). He was an 'excellent landlord', readjusting through an arbitrator the tenants' rent in the difficult times following the Napoleonic wars. The author states that in later years a son of Sergeant Goold, known as 'The Archdeacon', 'steeped in feudalism regarded himself as a demigod, and his tenants serfs', built a church and distributed bibles and religious tracts to the tenants, 'tampering with the religious convictions of the Catholics'. This caused feuds and demoralisation. The Archdeacon also settled the first Protestants in the estate. According to the author, relations have been of the 'most exemplary character' between the two denominations, even in times of trouble. Mentions , and 'moonlighters'.
