The Scottish baronial architecture features a six story square tower. Its cellars have been transformed into a Victorian arcade, including an antiques and craft shop, a bar, and a bistro restaurant.

  • Smythe-Wood Series A
    Smythe-Wood Newspaper Index – “A” series – mainly Co Tyrone Irish Genealogical Research Society Dr P Smythe-Wood’s Irish Newspaper Index Selected families, mainly from Co Tyrone ‘Series A’ The late Dr Patrick Smythe-Wood presented a large collection of card indexes to the IGRS Library, reflecting his various interests, - the Irish in Canada, Ulster families, various professions etc. These include abstracts from various Irish Newspapers, including the Belfast Newsletter, which are printed below. Abstracts are included for all papers up to 1864, but excluding any entries in the Belfast Newsletter prior to 1801, as they are fully available online. Dr Smythe-Wood often found entries in several newspapers for the one event, & these will be shown as one entry below. Entries dealing with RIC Officers, Customs & Excise Officers, Coastguards, Prison Officers, & Irish families in Canada will be dealt with in separate files, although a small cache of Canadian entries is included here, being families closely associated with Co Tyrone. In most cases, Dr Smythe-Wood has recorded the exact entry, but in some, marked thus *, the entries were adjusted into a database, so should be treated with more caution. There are further large card indexes of Miscellaneous notes on families which are not at present being digitised, but which often deal with the same families treated below.

  • FA Mann, Die Sachgründung Im Aktienrecht (Bensheimer 1932)
    THE CORRESPONDENCE OF FREDERICK ALEXANDER MANN (1907-1991) ‘Of all my learned friends, Mann is the most learned of all.’1 By Gerhard Dannemann, Christoph König and Franziska Stamm ABSTRACT Francis Mann, as he became known to the Anglophone world, was a German born and educated lawyer. He fled racial persecution in 1933 and settled in London, where he became one of the great lawyers of his time, equally versed and experienced in legal practice and legal scholarship. His book The Legal Aspect of Money, first published in 1938, opened an entire area for legal scholarship. His numerous publications in particular on public international law, conflict of laws, commercial law, procedural law and arbitration eclipse those of many full-time academic lawyers. As a solicitor and partner in the law firm Herbert Smith, he was instrumental in transforming a legal profession in England which traditionally had left litigation to its clerks and instructed barristers to become those experts in international litigation for which London solicitors have become famed. The present article introduces the reader to the some 12,500 letters which Mann exchanged with numerous correspondents, which were kindly donated to the archives of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin by Anne Kriken Mann, his daughter-in-law, and Herbert Smith Freehills, between 2014 and 2016. While substantially more research will be needed in order to evaluate how these documents can change our understanding of how Mann influenced the development of the law, these documents show Mann as a prolific networker who was fully engaged and instrumental in the development of the law by the legislature, the courts, and legal scholarship, and as sought-after advisor of the UK, German, Belgian and US governments.
