The collection also contains a small number of the personal papers of Sir Dominic Corrigan as well as members of his family, most notably his daughter Lady Mary Martin. Arrangement: The material has been divided into seven sections; Personal and Family Papers; Medical Career; Medical Legislation: Reform of education in Ireland; Other correspondence; Published works; and Caricature. Within each section further sub- divisions have been made as necessary and material has been arranged chronologically. Administrative History: Dominic Corrigan was born 1 December 1802, the second son of John Corrigan, a dealer in agricultural tools, and his wife Celia O'Connor. He was educated at the lay college at Maynooth, and having shown an aptitude for medicine he was apprenticed to the local doctor, Edward Talbot O'Kelly. Corrigan took medical courses at various private schools and the two universities in Dublin between 1820 and 1825. He graduated from Edinburgh University in August 1825, with amongst other William Stokes. Corrigan returned to Dublin and began his private practice at 11 Ormond Quay. His private practice grew quickly and his success can be seen in the geographical movement of his practice, to 13 Bachelor's Walk in 1832 and in 1837 to 4 Merion Square West, the centre of the elite medical profession in Ireland. As well as his lucrative private practice, during the 1860s he was making over £4000 a year, Corrigan took on a number of public appointments which allowed him to undertake and publish medical research. He was physician to Maynooth College, the Sick Poor Institute, the Charitable Infirmary Jervis Street, Cork Street Fever Hospital and the House of Industry Hospitals. Working with many of the city's poorest inhabitants he specialized in disease of the heart and lungs, and produced several important medical papers on the subject. He also lectured extensively to medical students. 4 Sir Dominic Corrigan Papers Corrigan's career prospects were set back in 1846 when he joined the newly created Central Board of Health, which had been set up to try and cope with the consequences of the Irish famine. His support of the Board and especially his recommendations for the level of doctor's pay brought him into conflict with the leaders of the profession, who blocked his bid to become an honorary fellow of the King and Queen's College of Physicians in Ireland. Despite this set back Corrigan was appointed physician-in-ordinary to Queen Victoria in Ireland in 1847, the first catholic to be so honoured, two years later Trinity College Dublin awarded him an honorary MD. In 1855 Corrigan out flanked the College of Physicians opposition by taking the licentiateship exam, with the newly qualified doctors. He became a Fellow of the College the following year, and in 1859 the first catholic president. It was during his tenure as President that the College acquired its present building. In 1866 he was awarded a baronetcy for his services to medicine. Corrigan was an active member of the Royal Zoological Society of Dublin, presenting many papers to the society. In recognition of his involvement in the campaign to establish an Irish Pharmaceutical Society he was made its first President. Corrigan also served on the General Medical Council for over twenty years and was active in pushing for reform to medical education. He was also a strong campaigner for non- denominational education in Ireland. In 1859 he was appointed a commissioner of national education, he also served as a senator of the Queen's University of Ireland from the 1840s, and was vice-chancellor from 1871. In 1870 Corrigan was elected a Liberal MP for Dublin city at a by-election. He advocated the early release of Fenian prisoners, and promoted secular education which brought him into conflict with the catholic hierarchy. He did not stand for re- election in 1874, one reason suggested for this is that his support of temperance and Sunday closing were unpopular with his electorate. Corrigan married Joanna Woodlock, the daughter of a wealth merchant in 1829; they had three sons and three daughters. The eldest John, a soldier, died in 1866 leaving one son who succeeded his grandfather to the baronetcy. William became a lawyer and died unmarried in 1881. The third son Robert died an infant, two daughters Joanna and Celia both died unmarried, but the third Mary married Richard Martin, who later became deputy lieutenant of Dublin city. Corrigan suffered a stroke in December 1879 and died on 1 February 1880, he was interred in the crypt of St. Andrew's Church, Westland Row. Custodial History: After Sir Dominic Corrigan's death his papers were preserved by his daughter Lady Mary Martin, who added notes to some items, as well as adding her own collection of papers relating to her father's life. After her death in 1907 the papers passed to her husbands family, and it was they who presented them to College. The original order of the material as created by Corrigan has been lost. 5 Sir Dominic Corrigan Papers Acquisition: Donated to the

Dates: 1861-1932 (also Leader Family correspondence 1848-1890) Level: Fonds Extent: 23 boxes Name of creator: Anthony John Mundella Administrative / biographical history: The content of the papers is mainly political, and consists largely of the correspondence of Mundella, a prominent Liberal M.P. of the later 19th century who attained Cabinet rank. Also included in the collection are letters, not involving Mundella, of the family of Robert Leader, acquired by Mundella’s daughter Maria Theresa who intended to write a biography of her father, and transcriptions by Maria Theresa of correspondence between Mundella and Robert Leader, John Daniel Leader and another Sheffield Liberal M.P., Henry Joseph Wilson.

After education at a National School he entered the hosiery trade, ultimately becoming a partner in the firm of Hine and Mundella of Nottingham. He became active in the political life of Nottingham, and after giving a series of public lectures in Sheffield was invited to contest the seat in the General Election of 1868. Mundella was Liberal M.P. for Sheffield from 1868 to 1885, and for the Brightside division of the Borough from November 1885 to his death in 1897.

  • The Political Journal of Sir George Fottrell
    THE POLITICAL JOURNAL OF SIR GEORGE FOTTRELL 13 Jany. 1885 I think it may perhaps at some future stage of Irish politics prove useful to have from an eye witness some notes of the events now passing in Ireland or rather some notes of the inner working of the Government and of the Irish party.I have rather exceptional opportunities of noting their working. I have since I attained manhood been a consistent Nationalist and I believe that the leading men on the national side have confidence in my honour and consistency. On the other hand I am a Crown official & I am an intimate personal friend of Sir Robert Hamilton,1 the Under Secretary for Ireland. My first introduction to him took place about 18 months ago. I was introduced to him by Robert Holmes,2 the Treasury Remembrancer. At that time Sir Robert was Mr.Hamilton & his private secretary was Mr.Clarke Hall who had come over temporarily from the Admiralty. Mr. Hamilton was himself at that time only a temporary official. Shortly afterwards he was induced to accept the permanent appointment as Under Secretary. From the date of my first introduction to him up to the present our acquaintance has steadily developed into a warm friendship and I think that Sir Robert Hamilton now probably speaks to me on Irish matters more freely than to anyone else. I have always spoken to him with similar freedom and whether my views were shared by him or were at total variance with his I have never concealed my opinion from him.

    STRATEGY, MISSION AND PEOPLE IN A RURAL DIOCESE A CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF THE DIOCESE OF GLOUCESTER 1863-1923 BRIAN KNIGHT A thesis submitted to the University of Gloucestershire in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Humanities August, 2002 11 Strategy, Mission and People in a Rural Diocese A critical examination of the Diocese of Gloucester 1863-1923 Abstract A study of the relationship between the people of Gloucestershire and the Church of England diocese of Gloucester under two bishops, Charles John Ellicott and Edgar Charles Sumner Gibson who presided over a mainly rural diocese, predominantly of small parishes with populations under 2,000. Drawing largely on reports and statistics from individual parishes, the study recalls an era in which the class structure was a dominant factor. The framework of the diocese, with its small villages, many of them presided over by a squire, helped to perpetuate a quasi-feudal system which made sharp distinctions between leaders and led. It is shown how for most of this period Church leaders deliberately chose to ally themselves with the power and influence of the wealthy and cultured levels of society and ostensibly to further their interests. The consequence was that they failed to understand and alienated a large proportion of the lower orders, who were effectively excluded from any involvement in the Church's affairs. Both bishops over-estimated the influence of the Church on the general population but with the twentieth century came the realisation that the working man and women of all classes had qualities which could be adapted to the Church's service and a wider lay involvement was strongly encouraged.

DEPARTMENT CHURCH ••.;••• P-. .go CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS Omnes, si ad originem primam revocantur, a dis sunt. SENECA, Epist. xliv. One hundred copies of this work have been printed. PREFACE '•"^AN these bones live ? . and the breath came into them, and they ^-^ lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.' The question, that was asked in Ezekiel's vision, seems to have been answered satisfactorily ; but it is no easy matter to breathe life into the dry bones of more than a thousand pedigrees : for not many of us are interested in the genealogies of others ; though indeed to those few such an interest is a living thing. Several of the following pedigrees are to be found among the most ancient of authenticated genealogical records : almost all of them have been derived from accepted and standard works ; and the most modern authorities have been consulted ; while many pedigrees, that seemed to be doubtful, have been omitted. Their special interest is to be found in the fact that (with the exception of some of those whose names are recorded in the Wallop pedigree, including Sir John Wallop, K.G., who ' walloped' the French in 1515) every person, whose lineage is shown, is a direct (not a collateral) ancestor of a family, whose continuous descent can be traced since the thirteenth century, and whose name is identical with that part of England in which its members have held land for more than seven hundred and fifty years.

Her Soul is white. She came to us as a very small child when her mother was our cook. In this day one would call her a “Kitchen Maid.” At the time she came to us the other servants spoke of her as “Nellie,” she helps wash the “deeshes.” Later on my Mother trained her as her own per¬ sonal maid and Nellie was taught to do everything. My Mother, of course, had in mind Nellie’s future life, which Nellie graphically explains to everyone, “Mis Daingerfield, she taught me all I knows.” Nellie has never lived with any other than my Daingerfields and is the one I love first.

  • A Devon By-Election: South Molton. 1891
    Rep. Trans. Devon. Ass. Advmt Sci., 142, 237-260 © The Devonshire Association, June 2010 (Figures 1-5) A Devon By-Election: South Molton, 1891 Sophia Lambert This paper uses mainly contemporaneous press reports to describe a particularly hard- fought by-election in Devon in 1891 between an official Liberal Home Rule candidate and a Unionist Liberal candidate supported by the Conservatives. It covers the varied social, economic, political and religious issues which aroused the electorate and also the cam­ paigning techniques. The 1891 election in South Molton was a famous by-election, attracting national attention as a test of strength between the official Liberals who supported Home Rule for Ireland and the breakaway unionist Liberals, allied for electoral purposes with the Tories. It was also a test of support for the Liberals’ new radical rural policies. Both parties sent in political heavyweights to support their candi­ dates. The issues were a curious mix of high principle on the future of Ireland and down-to-earth agricultural gripes. The campaigning pitted not just home-rulers against unionists, but Church against Chapel and landowners against tenant farmers. The following account, drawn chiefly from the press cuttings kept by the successful candidate, reveals boisterous electioneering and an enthusiasm among the electorate for the political process that is quite alien to most of us today. THE CONTEXT South Molton was a large, straggling constituency of 81 parishes, some 40 miles long, from South Molton and Torrington in the north to Newton St Cyres and Crediton in the south. It was a recent creation, 237 238 A Devon By-Election: South Molton, 1891 emerging from the redrawing of constituency boundaries in the 1885 Redistribution Act.1 Although it was mainly rural, there was a grow­ ing industrial minority in places like Crediton, a centre of the boot­ making trade.
