The information in this file formed the basis of the monograph ‘Irish Speakers, Interpreters and the Courts 1754-1921’ by Mary Phelan, published by Four Courts Press and the Irish Legal History Society in 2019. The data here details payments to Irish language court interpreters by the grand juries in each county and is compiled from the following sources:
• Records of payments to interpreters in Grand Jury Books of Presentments (some uncatalogued) held in Public Record Office of Northern Ireland, National Library of Ireland, National Archives of Ireland, county archives and on Google Books • County Council records (post 1898) • Mentions of interpreters in digitized newspapers (Irish Newspaper Archive, British Newspaper Archive, newspapers.com, Irish Times digital archive) and almanacs • John Brady, ‘Irish interpreters at Meath Assizes’ Ríocht na Mídhe 2, 62-63 • Accounts presented to the House of Commons, of the presentments passed by the grand juries of Ireland, at the spring and summer assizes, in the year 1807, HC 1808 (205) xiii.67 • Royal Commission of Inquiry into State of Law and Practice in respect to occupation of land in Ireland, appendix to minutes of evidence, part IV, statement of county cess, Command papers 1845 (672, 673) xxii.1, 225 • Grand Jury Officers (Ireland) return to an order of the honorable the Hous of Commons of officers in the service of the grand jury in each county in Ireland HC 1898 (237) lxxiv, 47 • Local Government (Ireland) Officials: return to an order of the honorable the House of Commons, dated 14th March 1901, for a return showing the names, dates of appointments, with the salaries of every such official HC 1901 (331) lxiv, 673 • Lesa Ní Mhunghaile (2011) ‘The legal system in Ireland and the Irish language 1700-c.1843’ in The Laws and Other Legalities in Ireland 1689- 1850 edited by M Brown and S.P.

Part I focuses on grand jury payments to interpreters county by county in alphabetical order. Some records (e.g. Kerry) continue on into the 1940s. The grand juries were the precursors to county councils, which were established in 1898. There were forty grand juries – one in each of the thirty-two counties plus the cities of Dubin, Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Kilkenny and the towns of Galway, Drogheda and Carrickfergus. A law was passed in 1773-4 (Geo III c. 32 s.22) to allow the grand juries to pay £5 per half-year to interpreters at the highest courts, the assizes. In 1837 another law (Wm IV and 1 Victoria c. 43, s. 44) was passed to allow the grand juries to pay £15 per half-year to interpreters at quarter sessions. However, some grand juries had introduced salaries before these laws
Phelan, Mary (2019) Database of Irish language court interpreters 1754-1921 page 4 were passed. While there was no legal provision for interpreters at petty sessions courts, summons servers often took on this often unpaid role. Parts II, III, IV and V draw on records held in the National Archives of Ireland. Part II draws on the Chief Secretary’s Office Registered Papers in the National Archives of Ireland, which consist of very large volumes where all correspondence was logged and the filing system linked in, where applicable, with earlier correspondence on the same topic. The introduction of a winter assizes led to requests to the Chief Secretary’s Office in Dublin Castle for extra payments for salaried interpreters in the 1880s. There was no post of interpreter at the petty sessions courts but some summons servers made successful applications to the Chief Secretary’s Office for payment for interpreting. Part III consists of transcription of letters from the Chief Secretary’s Office contained in what are called country letter books. These letters link in with the Registered Papers and consist of copies of replies to queries, for example replies to interpreters about payment for work at winter assizes or at petty sessions. Each country letter book consists of about one thousand pages. Many pages are quite fragile, and in some cases the ink has faded and the writing is impossible to decipher. Some later letters are typewritten. Part IV contains extracts from the Dublin October Commission records of the Maamtrasna trials held in October 1882 and correspondence held at the NAI. Part V consists of transcriptions of thirteen applications and testimonials for the post of court interpreter in Mayo in 1893.

It having been stated that Mr Wherland did not understand the language, and intended to perform the duty by Deputy, Baron Foster refused to fiat it, but observed that the Grand Jury may appoint a competent person at the commencement of the next assizes. Southern Reporter 19 October 1833 Does Mr Wherland hold any other Cork Corporation Enquiry office? …Yes, he is a Conservator. What is a conservator? A person appointed to prevent nuisances. Is he not also a Parish Constable? I believe he is. Is he not an Irish interpreter? I believe he was originally appointed to that situation, but he only fills it nominally. Mr Meagher – He was appointed an Irish interpreter and was not displaced until it was discovered that he did not know a word of Irish . He knew no more of Irish than I do of high Dutch (a laugh). Limerick Reporter 4 August 1840 Cork Mr P O’Connell applied to the court to Summer assizes – city court appoint an interpreter for the city sessions court which he said was absolutely necessary in consequence of the great extent of the jurisdiction of the court. His Lordship said that the foreman of the grand jury was at that moment speaking to him on the subject; but he did not think the words of the act empowering the court to appoint interpreters, the first of Victoria, extended to city sessions courts. However, he would look into it more attentively, and announce his decision tomorrow morning. City of Cork 1841-43 £3 per half-year from 1841 to 1843

We are of opinion that this discontinued salary should be restored to the Interpreter for the Galway Division has to interpret in what was the County of the town of Galway before the passing of the Local Government Act in addition to his own division of the County. Some of us are aware that the Recorder finds it difficult to get a suitable person for the position of Interpreter in this County owing we believe to the inadequacy of the salary attached to it (& without expenses) and we respectfully ask the Chief Secretary to extend the power of County Councils and County Court Judges in his amending bill as under the present section regulating the payment of Interpreters their power is limited. The same difficulty has arisen in the Loughrea division of the County where the salary of the Intepreter is only £10 and the Interpreter has to attend the quarterly sessions at Loughrea, Portumna and Ballinasloe.

This sad event took place on the 16th instant. We are sure many of his friends and even admirers for his quaint humour and ready witticisms acquired for him acquaintances in every circle, will hear with much pain of his demise. On the death of Mr C Lamb he was appointed as court-keeper, at Tralee, by the High-Sheriff, Mr George Sandes, and during his short term in that office he was most courteous and obliging to every member of the public who had any business to transact there. Mr Colins was for a number of years the best- known sheriff’s officer in Kerry, Irish interpreter to the different courts, and also held the position of crier to Mr Curran’s predecessor, Mr O’Connor Morris. He was widely known and much respected by all classes, and for a man in such a peculiarly insidious position he always managed to retain his popularity. County of Kerry Spring 1888 42.

New Irish Jurist 1901: 70 In 1901 in Tralee, Mr Broderick, a local solicitor, reminded Judge Shaw, K.C., that the civil bill officer, John Jones, had sent a petition ‘praying that he may be appointed interpreter for Tralee instead of the existing interpreter, who, Jones says, is incompetent for the office.’ Jones’s application seems to have been based on his being ‘a distinguished Biblical Irish scholar’ and his ability to translate the Bible into Irish. The judge suggested that ‘He ought to be a missionary of the Irish Church Missions’ and said that there was no vacancy, ‘and he must wait until Dowd, the present man, goes out’ 1901 census

Kilkenny Journal 14 March £5 was then voted to Richard Hickey for being 1840 County assizes interpreter at the assizes. A like sum was proposed for the interpreter at sessions [john Ryan]. Captain Bryan opposed the full grant. The Crier of the Assistant Barrister was interpreter. He had been already voted a considerable sum for fulfilling the office of Crier, and he would not approve of paying both sums, because in point of fact they were the Assistant Barrister’s servants,. Mr Flood (son to the Clerk of the Peace) said the duties of the interpreter were sometimes very onerous. Captain Bryan had not opposed the £5 to the Judge’s Crier who did not do as much duty.

Captain Bryan said if he had been aware of the sums being voted to him for crier and interpreter he would have opposed it too. He had no notion of voting away the public money to the servant of a gentleman who was paid £3500 a year by the country. The salary of the interpreter was accordingly reduced.

The interpreter was called on the

table; and in reply to a question from the bench stated that he was well acquainted with the Irish language. 'If you are' said a magistrate 'let us hear how you’d ask your presentment in Irish.' The interpreter was for a moment puzzled, as if language was about feeling to perform its office. Scratching his head, however, and looking with wistful eye on the bench, he said: ‘Thouraigh me PRESENTMENT, ma she dhe he la (laughter) – (give me my **presentment, if you please). The presentment, was accordingly passed. Limerick Reporter 7 February 1854 It was stated that the committee recommended the rejection of the presentment for £2.10 shillings as the half year's salary of the interpreter Mr Roberts, who is also court keeper. Mayor – does Mr Roberts speak Irish? Mr Bouchier – not a word, I believe. Mr Phayer – this is a miserable saving. The man is a very old man; and, as even the little addition to his means might be of some use to him, it should not be withheld. Mayor – he received the appointment of interpreter along with that of court keeper, and has been receiving the additional salary since his appointment. But, if he cannot act as interpreter, why should he receive the salary as such? And I remember one occasion on which an interpreter was required, and it was found

necessary to pay a man 5L for acting for the time.

Aged 82 years. RIP. Limerick Chronicle 5 Limerick Spring Assizes March 1885 Grand Jury The Irish Tongue Mr Ellard said he was authorised by the County Court Judge to state that there was no necessity to fill up the vacancy for an Irish interpreter to his court. During the ten years Mr Purcell had been in office he had never required the services of the interpreter, and in his opinion such an official was not required. He wished to save the county the expense of paying a salary of £30 a year and travelling expenses. In any case which an interpreter was wanted he could appoint one for the occasion, and give him his fee, which the grand jury could pass. The grand jury decided not to fill the vacancy.

Several Irish witnesses were examined, and of course, it was most important to the ends of justice that their evidence should b fairly and fully interpreted, by a sworn interpreter, as the law requires. But what was the fact? Why in several instances, the attorney concerned in the case became the volunteer interpreter, and from his interpretation the evidence was taken. We do not doubt the competency or the inclination of those volunteers to interpret fairly, but there is something in the practice, which we cannot reconcile with our ideas of the strict forms and objects of impartial and complete justice, to

The Foreman said that Mr Lawrence Sheridan, a very respectable proper man, offered for the office. The appointment was made so that they had nothing to say to it. But if they required an interpreter he should certainly recommend him and vote for him. Lord John Browne said from what the foreman said he would certainly vote for him. County of Mayo Shortly after the sitting of the court His Worship Ballinrobe Chronicle, referred to the death of Mr Rush, Interpreter, which 24th June 1871 took place since last Sessions, and stated that he had fourteen applications for the office, each having good testimonials, but of all he considered Peter Rippingham, of Ballinrobe, who was very highly recommended, the most eligible, he would therefore appoint him Interpreter.

He stated that he was allowed but £10 a year for attending the assizes and that it cost him that attending the sessions. The Foreman said the act left the grand jury no power in the present case the sum already allowed him was specified on the act and they must therefore refuse the presentments for any further sum. Interpreter – then I cannot attend the sessions any more. (We think this a case of great hardship, the poor man is very attentive to his business and civial (sic) having a great deal to do; but those who do most are the worst paid.)

had got no notice of the intention of the Counsel to appoint a successor. Mr O’Shea – He ought to be notified. Chairman – Is he entitled to a pension? Mr Hayes – I imagine he would be entitled to a pension. It speaks well for Dungarvan that it is the only town that needs an interpreter in the Irish language. Mr Power – I propose that the matter be deferred to the next quarterly meeting. Mr Kearney – and put on the agenda. Chairman – It is not competent for us to appoint a man at the next meeting, but I think it would be well to ask the present man to resign, and if he is competent of discharging the duties of the position he need not resign. Mr Power proposed, and Mr Flavin seconded a resolution, which was passed, to the effect that as the Clerk of the Crown and Peace had reported the inability, owing to old age and infirmity, of the interpreter of the Irish language, the question of appointing a successor be brought up at the next quarterly meeting, and in the meantime to ask Mr Keane to resign. 1901 census Patrick Keane, 82, is a Civil Bill Officer living in Shears street, Dungarvan Cork Examiner, 26 February 1902 Thomas Veale elected interpreter (Pat Keane had been interpreter for close to a half century??)

(CSO/RP/1822/1979 NAI) Petition of Simon Conway, Gaelic interpreter, Clare, Co Mayo, requesting payment of permanent allowance for professional court duties as Gaelic interpreter. [Sent to Richard Wellesley, 1st Marquis Wellesley, Lord Lieutenant, Dublin Castle] That Memorialist has been the Sworn Interpreter to the Several Courts of Assizes and Sessions in the County of Mayo for nine years or thereabouts, and has latterly acted also as interpreter in the Insolvent Courts held by Mr Commissioner Parsons, the Right Humble Denis Browne, Dominick Browne and James Cuffe, Members of Parliament, Arthur Knox, John Frederick Knox, ? de Nally and Gerrard E. Strickland, and Dominick Browne of Browne Hall Esqrs. All of whom are the most respectable in Mayo and members of the Grand Jury, and which are also signed by Thomas Spencer Lyndsey Esqr High Sheriff, Thomas Guldee Esqr Clerk of the Peace, Mr H Ellis Esqr assistant Barrister for said county, and three respectable attorneys who attend the Assizes and Sessions (which Certificates are herewith sent and beg a reference thereto. I also enclose a Certificate of the Right Humble Charles Bush, now Chief Justice of the Kings Bench. That Memorialist has generally received from the Grand Jury about sixty pounds yearly for his Trouble and Expenses in attending as Interpreter in said county, exclusive of his attendance at the ? Court. Saith that the Grand Jury for the present Lent Assizes 1822 now decline to pay more than five pounds for the whole of the business done by Memorialist as Interpreter at the said assizes and also at the several Sessions and Insolvent Court since the Summer Assizes 1821, and that the reason given for not continuing to pay the same sum as usual is not on acct. of its being excessive or unreasonable, but it is now stated that the Grand Jury have not any legal right to present more than said sum of five pounds, although will and avowedly assured of its inadequacy and for this purpose they refer to Statute 13 & 14 Geo III Chapter 32 sec 22 as the only legislative enactment respecting said matter and which limits the Presentiment for the Interpreter to five pounds for each assizes, which sum is not much more than half the expenses incurred during said assizes and does not enable the Grand Jury (to present) any ? whatever for the Interpreter employed at any other Courts, not could it refer to the Civil Bill Court or Insolvent Court, as they were not instituted at the time of passing of said Act, although equally as necessary and essential, in as much as that the lower Classes of people in the County don’t speak the English language. Saith that Memorialist has uniformly discharged the duties of an Interpreter in the Several Courts as ? in a manner satisfactory to the Judges Jurors Counsels agents and Parties concerned thereat as will also appear by the Certificates before alluded to. That owing to the immense increase of population and of business and the expenses of maintenance and of traveling to the several Sessions Assizes and Insolvent Courts throughout the year, the sum of seventy pounds would be a moderate allowance or salary for memorialist by the year, said several courts occupying sixty or seventy days of Memorialist’s time in each year there being eight sessions, two assizes and two, or perhaps more Insolvent Courts every year,

Distance of about 314 miles to and from Memorialist’s residence. ………. Memorialist having been almost engaged in every Tryal from the number of witnesses examined who don’t speak the English language and no sooner disengaged in the one Court than required in the other, as also swearing Prosecutors in the Irish language, to go before the Grand Jury and examining them accordingly. Memorialist further showeth that he is the only Public Officer attending said Several Courts who does not receive a salary adequate to his trouble. Also a presentiment off the County for the different Prisoners convicted and acquitted no Act of Parliament having been passed to entitled Memorialist thereto. ….he is in constant attendance on the Magistrates in disturbed times such as the present, and the years 1819 and 1820 administering before them to the Peasantry the oaths of allegiance to his Majesty, and such other examination as should be necessary in the Irish language, and…. reasonable remuneration of last half year, and a reasonable salary in future. Thomas P French Esqr – Justice of the Peace Simon Conway 6th April 1822 Note on back of memorial – ‘a very deserving public officer’
Dublin Castle, 18th April 1822 Gentlemen, I send you herewith by command of the Lord Lieutenant the memorial of Mr Simon Conway who has acted as interpreter in the Insolvent Court in the County of Mayo for which he has received no remuneration ? to signify His Excellency’s desire that you will take the service into consideration, and in the event of your thinking yourselves authorized to make compensation to Mr Conway for his trouble, that you will charge the same in your ? Received to be furnished at the end of each Quarter. Your most obedient Humble servant Gregory (The Commissioners for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors)
Clare, 6th May 1822 Sir, I take the liberty of soliciting your attention respecting a Memorial which I had the honour to forward to his Excellency, the Lord Lieutenant on the 7th of April last, praying augmentation of salary or reasonable remuneration as Interpreter for the Assizes Sessions and Insolvent Courts held in and for the County of Mayo, for the reasons therein stated and set forth. Humbly beg you may be pleased to reply with convenient dispatch as I feel anxious relative to the fate of said Memorial one month having elapsed since its dispatch to Dublin Castle. I have the honor to be your most obedient humble servant. Simon Conway

Letter from Peter Burrowes, Barrister. CSO/RP/1822/21 [Photocopy] Leeson Street 13 May 1822 Sir, I received two letters from you dated the 10th April and the 9th May respectively directed to the Commissioner for Relief of Insolvent Debtors, accompanied with the memorial of Simon Conway, interpreter for the County Mayo, and communicating his Excellence the Lord Lieutenant’s ? in the event of their thinking themselves authorized to make compensation to Mr Conway for his Trouble, that they should charge the same in the contingent account, furnished at the end of each Invitation ? In the absence of Mr Parsons I can only state my own opinion upon the subject of that memorial – admitting as I believe the fact to be that Mr Conway is inadequately compensated by the law as it now stands, I conceive the proper Remedy will be a legislative enactment extending the limit within which Grand Juries may present for all the services performed by Interpreters in all the Courts in the several Counties (?). In my For the Relief of Insolvents, no Demand for Compensation was made to me by any Interpreter, I very seldom had occasion for any and I apprehend that if the Commission for the Discharge of Insolvent Debtors were to pay any one Interpreter, it would lead to a claim from the Interpreters of every county, whether his services were required or not. I have the honour to be your most obedient humble servant Peter Burrowes To: W. Gregory Esq [William H. Gregory, Under Secretary of Ireland, Dublin Castle] North Dublin
5th July 1822 Letter which is very difficult to read about Simon Conway case CSO/RP/822/1979 Dublin 5th July 1822 Sir On my return from Circuit I received two letters from you one dated the 10th of April and the other the 9th of May and directed to the Commissioners for Relief of Insolvent Debtors accompanied both the memorial and letter of Simon Conway Interpreter for the County Mayo and communicating his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant’s desire in the event of their thinking themselves authorized to broker compensation to Mr Conway for his trouble, that they should change the ?? in the contingent account ? asked at the end of each quarter. I attended at Castlebar the two last Circuits ? for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors on the first of which Session Conway acted as Interpreter but made no demand of compensation – if he had, I should have thought myself warranted in paying him for his trouble, and charging it to the expense of the Circuit but his trouble was so small that I thought he did not ? to broker any charge for it – as the

Secretary of State in Ireland …aggregate distance of 230 miles yearly Memorialist further begs to observe that in the mountainous Districts and in general throughout the extensive and populous County the Irish language predominates. Irish Grand Jury Presentiment Bill is now in progress through the Imperial Parliament
To his Excellency The Most Noble Richard Marquis Wellesby Lord Lieutenant General and General Governor of Ireland The memorial of Simon Conway of Clare in the County of Mayo, Gentleman, Irish interpreter to the different Courts of Assize, Quarter Sessions and Insolvent Courts, held from time to time in said County. Humbly showeth That your Excellency’s Servant has heretofore forwarded and submitted to your Excellency’s consideration two Memorials praying augmentation and establishment of a permanent salary, attached to said situation, and remuneration for past services for the reasons humbly set forward herein. That for the space of Three Months memorialist has anxiously awaited the result and has not been favoured with a reply, at present his ? from the Schedule of Officers Salarys as reported by the Irish Grand Jury Presentiments Committee, that whereas all of the officers pertaining to the County are provided for by fixed salarys according to the Classification Table of the different Counties respectively, and it appears that the office of Interpreter has been overlooked and omitted; a situation in this County where the Irish language predominates is attended with much labour ? and expense. That the former Memorial was supported by a Recommendatory Certificate of the High Sheriff and a majority of the Grand Jury, respecting the Assizes. That at present your Servant begs leave to forward the enclosed Certificates respecting the Trouble and expence attending Quarter Sessions during fifteen days from memorialist’s residence which the last two Sessions occupied and so in proportion four times a year making a total of sixty days at Sessions only, for which very indispensable services there is no Act of Parliament in existence whereby Memorialist could be compensated unless Your Excellency is graciously pleased to command a reasonable allowance according to the nature of the services and at the same time humbly ?

CSO/RP/1828/520 To the Most Noble the Marquis of Anglesea Lord Lieutenant General and General Governor of Ireland The Humble Petition of the undersigned Attornies of the County of Kerry in Ireland Respectfully Sheweth That in the Court of Quarter Sessions, where your Petitioners practice, there are annually over Ten Thousand Civil Bills Entered for Trial before the Assistant Barrister, besides a proportionate Quantity of Crown Businefs, on the Hearing of which a great number of Witnesses are produced who can speak only the Irish language. That therefore it became necessary to employ an Interpreter to whom the Grand Jury of the County for some years past had allowed a Salary. But as by the Act 13& 14 Geo 3 Chap 32 Sec 22, they were empowered to present £5 for an Interpreter at each Assizes only, the Judges who have lately come Circuit did not consider themselves warranted in fiating a Presentment for an Interpreter at Quarter Sessions though they Concurred in the absolute necessity of such an Officer and expressed regret that there was no Law to Sanction them in fiating a Presentment for him – That in Consequence the Interpreter has ceased to Act which has not only been the greatest inconvenience to the Court of Quarter Sessions but to your Practitioners who respectfully submit that Justice cannot be duly administered without the aid of such Interpreter – May it therefore please your Excellency to take the matter of Petitioners Application into consideration and by the introduction of an Act of Parliament or

CSO LB 34 page 119 date 16 November 1844, letter to H Pollock, resident Magistrate, Nenagh, the law does not provide for the expenses of witnesses in misdemeanour cases. In felony cases, the expenses paid by the County. In misdemeanour cases at the Assizes, where the Crown Solicitor prosecutes, he pays the expense of witnesses, but it has not been the practice to pay Crown witnesses in misdemeanour cases tried at quarter sessions, except medical witnesses who are paid one guinea. I cannot make any order, or give any directions for the payment of those expenses, the effect of which would be that all witness examined at quarter sessions would apply to the government for payment. Any alteration in this rule can only be made by the Treasury. I can do no more than follow the practice which existed in the time of my predecessor. Eliot.

Letter from Roger Green to Theobald McKerne, Esqr, Dublin Castle Ref 12603 26th of February, 1856 – his Excellency cannot interfere the humble Memorial of Roger Green, interpreter to the County of Limerick Courts of Assizes and quarter sessions showeth (?) That at the summer Assizes 1855, the grand jury of the County of Limerick ordered that several of the County officers be paid their half years salaries when due, and presented out of the general fund of the County pursuant to 6 and seven, William IV cap 116 and 149 – but your Memorialist’s name was omitted thro some inadvertence. That memorialist is a man with a very large family who, in purchasing provisions on time must pay a great deal more than the present exorbitant prices and having to attend at the regular Assizes twice a year and at the several quarter sessions of the County of Limerick, Bruff, Newcastle and Rathkeale at great expense, if he had his salary signing? some of the expense would be reduced. May it therefore please Theobald McKerne, Esq to take the case of memorialist into consideration by recommission, to the grand jury that memorialist salary paid with the other County officers and as the presentment will be before the grand jury on tomorrow 26th instant morning would? An early communication and he will pray. Roger Green.

TH Burke ALSO, to Re Richard Connolly, same date, same reference number I am directed by the LL to acquaint you that by a Rule of the Civil Bill Courts made on the 10th September 1881 it has been directed as follows: - “When any Process Server or any person duly appointed or employed by the Plaintiff in any such Civil Bill Process to serve such Process shall be prevented by forcible resistance, or by reasonable apprehension of personal injury, from effecting ordinary Service of such Process on any defendant, it shall be sufficient service to post a Copy of the Process on the Court House of the division of the County nearest to the residence of such defendant, and not he usual place for posting notices in the market town nearest to the residence of such defendant, and to send by post a copy of the Process in a letter addressed to such defendant at his usual place of residence provided that such postings and delivery shall be effected at least fifteen clear days before first day of the Sessions for the division at which the defendant shall be required to appear.” As in the present case it appears that the Process Server is deterred by apprehension of personal violence from effecting personal service, you should proceed to have service effected in the manner provided by the rule in question.

A Dhuine Uasail I am in receipt of your communication of the 23rd inst, and in reply thereto beg to report as follows:- Mr Peter Mullins called on me in the month of April last and presented to me a written application for payment of the sum of £1 10 0 or thereabouts, being one quarters salary due and payable to him as Irish Interpreter to the Court of Quarter Sessions for the County of Galway. At that time I had no Public Account at my disposal to meet claims of this nature and accordingly I referred Mr Mullins to Mr Gerald Cloherty, Clerk of the Peace, Galway, who at the time I considered was the proper official to deal with the application, as I was aware that Mullins appointment was made by the Recorder of Galway. I also informed Mr Mullins that I had no instructions in the matter but that if he got a certificate from the Clerk of the Peace that the amount in demand was due, I would forward on his application to the chief state solicitor for directions. I did not see or hear from Mr Mullins from that day to this present moment of writing and it is accordingly not correct for Mr Mullins to state that a demand for £5 12 6 was made to, and refused by me. I may add that Mr Mullins was reprimanded by the Recorder of Galway at last Sessions for incompetency, and on this occasion it was found necessary to adjourn a serious criminal case in order to secure the services of a competent Interpreter. I was advised that it would not be necessary for me to report the above incident. No payment was made by me to Mr Mullins. Mine le meas agat Risteard O Ceallaigh

Aireacht Airgid File no 953 Mr Codling, Re A: files are in connection with your demand on file 953 Re B: I have seen Mr Godden and searched here but 22726/1920 cannot be traced. Initials 5/12 Mr Codling, The payment of salaries to interpreters in respect of spring and summer assizes appears to be governed by Article 79 of the Local Govt (incorporation of Irish enactments) order 1899. Such salaries are payable by the County Councils. The salaries of interpreters at Quarter Sessions are similarly payable by the County Councils (14 & 15 Vic c57 sect 20 as adopted (article 3 of the ?? Order). It will be noted from Mr Kelly's letter that Mullins is an interpreter to the Court of Quarter Sessions. It has not been possible to locate the Castle papers on the Galway Interpreter but the papers which have been forwarded would seem to show that apart from payments to process servers acting as Interpreters at Petty Sessions the State has in the past paid fees in respect of Interpreters acting at Winter Assizes only. It is by no means clear how Mullins came to be paid salary by the late crown Solicitor unless his was a special case. He may be merely "trying it on" of course, and I think Mr Kelly might be asked to ascertain if possible whether salary has not in fact been paid by the Co Council. Initials 24/12/23

And should your Hon require it I can produce many others to correspond with them. Humbly hoping for your Hon’s approbation I remain Hon Sir Your most humble and obedient servant Pat Hennelly
Forthpark Glencorrib Headford Oct 20 1893 B W Whitney Esq Hon Sir, I have not words enough to express my thanks for the interestedness your Hon has evinced in my welfare in respect of departed friends According to your directions I have got information from the Crier concerning the office of interpreter, and lodged my application with His Honour the Judge referring him to your Hon and also to M M J Kelly, and enclosing him copies of testimonials of personal character from M Lewin of Castlegrove and M Charles Lynch of Ballycurrin Castle. The Crier has informed me that the position is value for £40 per annum, and that the appointment shall take place on Monday next. And as an appointment to it suits the circumstances of myself and my family decidedly well I am confident your Hon will succeed in obtaining it for me. Not being a very extravagant person my travelling expenses for 12 weeks of the year should not reduce it very much. On the contrary; the proceeds of it shall be more than that of my previous occupations, which were rather intermittent and (owing to competition) of small remuneration. I had to live constantly from home and even after all these disadvantages I cannot get on to it at all for the past twelve months the business been over-crowded. An appointment to this position is the Courts would be more certain and constant and would leave me 9 months of the year at home very much to the benefit of my family consisting of my mother and three sister who, indeed, requires help and care. I am told Mr Ruttledge is forwarding the interest of some other man and I have had no opportunity of laying my case before him “if so” as I think I should be able to claim his sympathy as the benefit of my pursuit would help us to pay what often troubles us much and himself also for after all expenses it should be a year’s rent. I conclude by leaving the whole matter in your Hon’s hands – and I am fully convinced it shall not be your Hon’s fault if I do not get the benefit of the appointment. And with utter and never-ending thanks I remain Hon Sir your most humble and faithful servant Pat Hennelly PS Mr Sheridan said to me you were of opinion that I was giving up the pursuit of it, but the shortness of the intimation I got of the vacancy and my want of knowledge
Phelan, Mary (2019) Database of Irish language court interpreters 1754-1921 page 262 as to the circumstances of the position caused me much study but I find that a far more inferior position would serve a person of my very humble circumstances.

Keane Keane and Kane are both anglicisations of Ó Catháin, from a diminutive of cath, meaning "battle". Keane, however, is much more common in Connacht than in Ulster, the homeland of the majority of
Phelan, Mary (2019) Database of Irish language court interpreters 1754-1921 page 267 the Kanes. This is because Ó Catháin arose separately as a surname in Co. Galway, where the family were a branch of the historic Uí Fiachraigh tribal grouping. Traditionally it has been believed that the prominent Clare Keanes were an offshoot of the Ulster Ó Catháin, but the closeness of Clare and Galway must make this doubtful. In any case, the two forms of the name have been interchangeable for most of Irish history. https://www.irishtimes.com/ancestor/surname/index.cfm?fuseaction=History&Surname=keane&Use rID=
