My own chambers were over the way at No. 2. We saw each other constantly at this period. Sometimes he would send across for me, sometimes I would come uninvited, either on business—political business or to have a 'gossip.' This day I came to gossip. He was at luncheon. A fried sole and a bottle of ApoUinaris, wedged in among briefs and papers, were before him. His wig was flung carelessly aside. He had just come in from Court. Received with the familiar cheery greeting, 'Well, my friend, what's the ? news ' I sat down and talked away. In moments of relaxation, be it said, he was fond of gossip ; but never during the twenty years of our friendship have I known him to tell a scandalous story, hardly ever have I heard him say an unkind word of any one. If he disliked a man, he wiped that man out of his thoughts. ' A poor I B LORD RUSSELL OF KILLOWEN creature ' was the strongest expression of denunciation I have ever heard him use. But with it the very existence of the 'creature' seemed to have been for- gotten. Scandal was repugnant to his virile nature, out of harmony with a character whose dominant feature was manfulness, and distasteful tQ a mind singularly simple and pure. ' I have been hearing some good stories about you ' ' lately,' I said. Indeed ! what are they ? he asked with a half-humorous look. 'Here is one,' I replied. 'It is a story of the Northern Circuit. You were engaged in a case at Liverpool. It was an uphill case. The judge and jury were dead against you. The trial had lasted for two days. You had failed to shake the wit- nesses in cross-examination. You made no way. The case seemed hopeless. You were horribly irritable, and swore at every one. On the third day you began your speech. You spoke for nearly an hour without appa- rently producing much effect. Then the foreman asked a question which showed that at length you had staggered the jury. You answered the question. The judge did not like the answer and interposed. You faced the judge and stood by your guns.. There was an altercation between you and the Court. It was the crisis of the case. After a hard fight you had got hold of the jury. The judge interfered to take them out of your hand. Would he succeed ? That was the point. You were still arguing with him when your solicitor—an eminently respectable and even pious-looking man, with a black frock coat, kid gloves, and a white tie —he was solicitor, I believe, for half the county families in the district—rose and, turning round whispered with great reserve, " Mr. 2 " ' INTRODUCTORY " " Russell, will you allow me Damn you ! sit down," said you in a voice quite audible to judge and jury. The effect was electrical. The solicitor sat down. The judge said no more. The jury collapsed. You then blazed a\vay fiercely for another half-hour without interruption from any one. The judge delivered a Balaklava charge against you ; but the jury gave a verdict in your favour without leaving the box. Now do you remember that scene ? ' ' ' Russell : Not a bit. Who is your authority ? I said, ' Oh, I won't give you my authority. He is a man who has a great admiration for you. He was in Court and saw the whole thing.' ' ! Russell : Humph I asked (laughing and using a familiar form of question .'' in cross-examination), ' Butyou won't say it didn't happen All your evidence comes to this, that you don't recollect' ' Russell (smiling) : I have no doubt, my friend, that, whatever happened, the story has been embellished by you or your informant.' I said, ' Well, I'll tell you another story.' He turned towards the fire, and I stood with my elbow on the mantelpiece, and went on : ' The case was in London. It was an appeal to the Court of Queen's Bench. The arguments began first thing in the morning. You were not present. The Court was with the other side up to luncheon time. You then put in an appearance just as the judges were leaving the bench. The junior Bar were clearing out, when you turned to the men in the front row and said, "Were any " of you present when the case was argued below ? Then " you spied the official reporter of the Court. " Ah ! said 3 ^^^ ' ' LORD RUSSELL OF KILLOWEN you, "you were there!" " Yes," said he, "but I did not take a very careful note." He wanted to go to his luncheon, and did not care to be buttonholed by you at that " moment. " Where is your note-book ? said you ; and then, without waiting for an answer, you pounced on the note-book which was lying on the 'desk. " Here it is : don't go." Finding that he was in for it, he resigned hinlself to his fate, saying, "I'll find the note for you," " I have found it," said you. " You write very carelessly." You then read the note, asked him questions, made mems on your brief—which was tied up and quite clean^t was clear that you had never opened it. By the time that you had cross-examined this man, and got out all he knew about the case, the judges returned. "Are you ready, " Mr. Russell ? they asked. " Yes, my Lords," said you. You then argued for a couple of hours, turned the Court right round; got judgment, and walked out without giving back the man his note-book.' ' ! Russell : That's a lie I said, ' What is a lie—that you didn't give him back his note-book ? Russell: 'Yes.' I said, ' Well, think of the number of books of mine which you have never given me back.' At this he laughed almost heartily. I never knew him, even in his most unreserved moments, when it was not possible to turn a frown into a smile, if you only hit upon the right key. I continued r ' Every one sayS that your great quality is concentration. You fix all your thoughts on the subject or the man you are dealing with for the time. Then, when the business is over, you wipe everything connected with it from your mind. How often' do you 4 ' ' INTRODUCTORY talk to me here for an hour at a stretch about Irish his- " tory and politics ! Then you say suddenly, Now go." You take up a brief, and I have no doubt that you have lost all consciousness of my existence before I have got to the door.' ' .* Russell : I see. Have you any more stories I said, ' Yes, here is one about the theatre.' Russell: 'Ha!' ' It was in your early days in London. You went to the play with a friend. He took you under his wing.

  • DEMYSTIFYING FEMININE IRELAND DURING the REBELLION of 1798 Cecilia Barnard
    DEMYSTIFYING FEMININE IRELAND DURING THE REBELLION OF 1798 Cecilia Barnard Although the role assigned to women by Irish historians during the era of the United Irishmen is one of background involvement and passivity, Mary Ann McCracken and Elizabeth Richards provide important case studies to the contrary. Directly opposing not just history but contemporary propaganda, Elizabeth and Mary Ann stood firmly for their beliefs and now provide important insights into the rebellions. Instead of being a passive Hibernia or a ragged Granu, the women of Ireland in the 1790s had experiences and emotions that ranged from distrust and terror to active involvement in the movement. Irish women were part and parcel to the events in the rebellion, and that including them as active participants in the story of the rebellion provides an insight that the historical context will continue to miss if their participation remains in the background rather than the forefront. Introduction The prescribed role of Irish women during the Irish rebellions of 1798 was as victims of exploitation, both in propaganda and in life.1 Even though the Irish Unionist movement promoted itself as an egalitarian movement dedicated to the common good, this common good did not include women. Women were not seen as equal partners in the movement. The United Irishmen gave no significant consideration of the extension of the franchise to its female members at any time in its activism, which historians point to as modern evidence of their entrenched gender inequality.2 It’s doubtful that women were only the passive participants described by historians and Unionist propaganda during the Unionist movement and the rebellions as a whole, but their historical contributions have been largely neglected by the larger scholarship on Irish history.3 The aim of this paper is to analyze the differences between women in Unionist legend at the time and the recorded lived experiences of women from the 1790s, specifically women who documented life in their own words in the late 1790s.

    A PROVINCIAL SCHOOL OF ART AND LOCAL INDUSTRY: THE STOURBRIDGE SCHOOL OF ART AND ITS RELATIONS WITH THE GLASS INDUSTRY OF THE STOURBRIDGE DISTRICT, 1850-1905 by JAMES SCOTT MEASELL A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham April 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Founded in 1851, the Stourbridge School of Art offered instruction in drawing, art and design to students engaged in industries, especially glass. Using social history methodology and primary sources such as Government reports, local newspapers and school records, this thesis explores the school’s development from 1850 to 1905 and explicates its relationships with the local glass industry. Within the context of political, economic, social and cultural forces, the school contributed to the town’s civic culture and was supported by gentry, clergy and industrialists. The governing Council held public meetings and art exhibitions and dealt with management issues. Working class men attended evening classes. Women from wealthy families attended morning classes.

  • The Irish Catholic Episcopal Corps, 1657 – 1829: a Prosopographical Analysis
    THE IRISH CATHOLIC EPISCOPAL CORPS, 1657 – 1829: A PROSOPOGRAPHICAL ANALYSIS VOLUME 1 OF 2 BY ERIC A. DERR THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERISTY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH SUPERVISOR OF RESEARCH: DR. THOMAS O’CONNOR NOVEMBER 2013 Abstract This study explores, reconstructs and evaluates the social, political, educational and economic worlds of the Irish Catholic episcopal corps appointed between 1657 and 1829 by creating a prosopographical profile of this episcopal cohort. The central aim of this study is to reconstruct the profile of this episcopate to serve as a context to evaluate the ‘achievements’ of the four episcopal generations that emerged: 1657-1684; 1685- 1766; 1767-1800 and 1801-1829. The first generation of Irish bishops were largely influenced by the complex political and religious situation of Ireland following the Cromwellian wars and Interregnum. This episcopal cohort sought greater engagement with the restored Stuart Court while at the same time solidified their links with continental agencies. With the accession of James II (1685), a new generation of bishops emerged characterised by their loyalty to the Stuart Court and, following his exile and the enactment of new penal legislation, their ability to endure political and economic marginalisation. Through the creation of a prosopographical database, this study has nuanced and reconstructed the historical profile of the Jacobite episcopal corps and has shown that the Irish episcopate under the penal regime was not only relatively well-organised but was well-engaged in reforming the Irish church, albeit with limited resources. By the mid-eighteenth century, the post-Jacobite generation (1767-1800) emerged and were characterised by their re-organisation of the Irish Church, most notably the establishment of a domestic seminary system and the setting up and manning of a national parochial system.

  • Killowen Distillery Background
    Killowen Distillery Background Killowen Distillery is seated in the heart of the Mournes in County Down where horizons are framed by sweeping hills that slope gently into the sea. It is a place where old traditions and the finest natural resources have been blended to produce world class craft spirits. The rivers coursing through the mountains are filtered by ancient stones and the areas semi maritime land have long produced the highest quality grain crops. In our pursuit of perfecting the ancient alchemy of whiskey making, our Master Distiller has married these together and by using new recipes, has transformed these elements into liquid gold. Kilowen have selected two handmade artisan stills named Christoir (1000 litre) and Broc (800 litre). Both pot stills are flame fed and our condensers are worm tub. We believe the ancient still shape, size, flame heat and worm tub condensation help create a traditional spirit with a contemporary twist. It is our understanding that Killowen are the only Distillery to focus on purely worm tub condensers in Ireland. Product Range Killowen Gin: Focusing on centuries of Gin making in Ireland, we at Killowen Distillery place seasonal botanicals to the fore, many of which are handpicked from the immediate locality. The result is an unusual gin celebrating its maritime and highland environment within the Mourne Mountains. Latest releases inlcude 'Rhubarb Heather Hibiscus and Blackberry, Rosemary & Orange Gins. Killowen Poitin: Our geographically protected native spirit has enjoyed a recent revival in recent years. At Killowen we carefully select a unique ratio of wheat, barley and oats to create a mash bill fitting of the word Poitín.
