Tales from the Courts West Cork 1901

Pat Doran

This book is the second in a series of books which tells the stories of numerous court cases held in West Cork in the year 1902. It captures the social history of the time and provides information on the Judges, Magistrates and Solicitors as well as the ordinary every day people involved. Cases include an attempted train derailment in Bantry. School politics involving the Church and lay people. Potheen distilling and poaching. The many efforts of the police to enforce the Licensing Act. Organised thieving from shops in Bandon. The assaults of British soldiers and sailors in Bantry and Kinsale. Forgery in Ballydehob. Property Disputes and much more. All the cases are told through the narrative of the people involved, some of it amusing, some of it eye opening and some of it just unbelievable.
