    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.

  • The London School of Economics and Political Science in the Shadow Of
    The London School of Economics and Political Science In the Shadow of the Prison Gates: An Institutional Analysis of Early Release Policy and Practice in England and Wales, 1960 – 1995 Thomas Charles Guiney A thesis submitted to the Department of Social Policy of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, October 2015. Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the MPhil/PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 99,995 words. 2 Abstract This thesis explores the historical development of early release policy and practice in England and Wales between 1960 - 1995. The evolution of criminal justice as a public policy concern has attracted considerable interest within the literature but this has tended to focus on the role of individuals as key agents of policy change or the ‘big picture’ socio-economic shifts associated with late twentieth-century modernity. Comparatively little attention has been paid to the mediating role of institutions at the intersection between policy and politics.

  • 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.
