It presents these law journals as sources that have not always received the attention that they deserve from historians and political scientists. The article also uses these sources to examine the response of the Irish legal professions to the six years of revolution and upheaval. This response is interesting because the legal professions and their journals spanned the traditional nationalist/unionist divide in Irish politics. The most important source is a journal called the Irish Law Times and Solicitors’ Journal (now known as simply the Irish Law Times) although other journals of lesser significance are also considered. KEYWORDS Law journal; Irish Law Times; legal professions; 1916 rising; civil war; 1921 Treaty; partition; Irish Free State; Northern Ireland 29 Irish Law Journals and the Emergence of the Irish State, 1916–22 Introduction The purpose of this article is to assess the value of law journals as sources for a critical period of transition in modern Irish history.

(Catalogue reference: SP 63/139 no. 25 folio. 832) Machary's statement was made before the Lord Deputy of Ireland, William Fitzwilliam, in December 1588. Fitzwilliam then included the statement in one of his despatches to Sir Francis Walsingham, the Secretary of State in England. Machary, an Irishman, was press-ganged onto a ship in Portugal and was therefore present at the invasion of the Armada, on the Spanish side. Machary was left behind on the coast of Ireland by the Spanish when they departed. He would have been a very useful source of information for the Lord Deputy, as he was able to provide information about the Spanish ships and in particular about Don Alonso de Leva. The document is mainly written in secretary hand. This style of writing was used for business purposes, and was the main hand used in Britain in the Tudor and Jacobean periods. The italic hand, which we saw in document 1 (the letter from Princess Elizabeth), existed alongside secretary hand, and writers of secretary hand would sometimes write certain words in italic hand to make them stand out. An example of this can be seen in this document, which has the names of the Spaniards written in italic.

  • 14 Comital Ireland, 1333–1534
    14 COMITAL IRELAND, 1333–15341 Peter Crooks The history of late-medieval Ireland is not exactly littered with dates that command general recognition, so it is surely suggestive that two which have achieved a degree of notoriety concern the fortunes, or rather misfortunes, of Ireland’s earls and earldoms: the murder of William Burgh, the ‘brown’ earl of Ulster, in 1333; and the rebellion in 1534 of Thomas Fitzgerald (‘Silken Thomas’), soon-to-be tenth earl of Kildare. These are dates of demarcation. In the broadest terms, 1333 has been understood to mark the end of the expansion of royal power under the Plantagenets, 1534 the start of its vigorous reassertion under the Tudors. What occurred between these chronological bookends? For Goddard Orpen (d. 1932), writing in 1920 when the Anglo-Irish tradition he cherished seemed imperilled by the prospect of Irish secession from the United Kingdom, the murder of the earl of Ulster in 1333 was a moment of dark, almost metonymic, significance: ‘the door was now closed on a century and a half of remarkable progress, vigour, and comparative order, and two centuries 2 of retrogression, stagnation, and comparative anarchy were about to be ushered in’. In the 1 I am grateful to Brian Coleman, Seán Duffy, Robin Frame, Katharine Simms and Brendan Smith for their assistance in the preparation of this essay, the research for which was funded by the Irish Research Council. 2 Goddard Henry Orpen, Ireland under the Normans, 1169–1333, 4 vols.

This parish is situated near the southern coast, on the road from Cork to Baltimore, and is intersected by the river Ilen. It contains 9362 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act; and is said to derive its name from a religious house, the ruins of which are situated close to the northern bank of the Ilen, one mile west from Skibbereen. About one-third is waste land or bog, the former consisting of rocky elevations which in some parts afford tolerable pasturage; the bog is only of small extent, and peat is becoming somewhat scarce. Generally the system of agriculture is not much improved: the heavy old wooden plough is still used. The substratum is entirely of the schistus formation: there are quarries of excellent slate at Derrygoole, but not much worked; and throughout the parish is found clay-slate for building and repairing the roads. There are numerous large and handsome residences: the principal are Hollybrook, the seat of R. Becher (1), Esq.; Lakelands, of T. J. Hungerford, Esq.; Coronea, of Mrs. Marmion; Gortnamucalla, of H.

The Anatomy of Copyright Law in Scotland before 1710 Alastair J Mann Beginning of the end - the end of the beginning In 1707, when Scotland joined with England in parliamentary union, a partnership was joined both political and economic. Setting aside a few temporary taxation exemptions for Scotland, economic union with England meant a shared currency, common weights and measures and standardised customs and duties, but more significantly, as confirmed in article IV of the Treaty of Union, ‘full freedom and intercourse of trade’.1 Scotland had helped create the largest free trade area in western Christendom. While one of the temporary exemptions agreed for Scotland was from English duties on stamped paper, a brief advantage for the book trade in the north, the regulation of that trade and of copyright was unmentioned; by omission, the status quo ante would prevail. Given the depredations of Anglo-Scottish copyright litigation from Tonson v. Walker in 1739 to the more ‘infamous’ Donaldson v. Becket in 1774 perhaps it is as well that such a topic was set aside.2 Such controversy might 1 K.M.
