PIGOT’S DIRECTORY 1824 - BANDON

DISTANT one hundred and forty miles south-west of Dublin, sixteen south-west of Cork, nine west of Kinsale, and thirty east of Bantry, one of the largest, most respectable, and neat regulated towns in the county of Cork, is pleasantly situated upon the river Bandon, from which the town takes its name, and over which there is a good stone bridge. This town was founded by the celebrated Richard Boyle, first Earl of Cork, about the year 1610; by his interest also it was incorporated, and several charters were obtained, granting to the inhabitants divers privileges and advantages. This place was chiefly inhabited by English Protestants, who walled and fortified the town, and built two churches and market houses; the walls were, however, demolished by the Irish in 1689, for which violence no Catholics were afterwards permitted to reside in the town. The settlers being an industrious and economical people, Bandon soon began to flourish and increase, till at length the streets within the walls became incapable of containing its crowded population, several additional ones were built in various parts of the suburbs, and it has continued to improve in appearance and increase in wealth to the present time. The staple trade of the town is that of spinning, and manufacturing cotton into corduroys, &c., which if continued to be carried on with that spirit and activity that now characterize the manufacturers, will undoubtedly make it one of the most flourishing towns in this part of the kingdom. Some coarse linen is manufactured here, but the merchants and factors of this place have recourse to Clonakilty and other places west of Bandon, for that article, which is there manufactured in abundance, and for which there is a ready market in London and Scotch houses. The markets are well supplied with all kinds of provisions, which are excellent, abundant and cheap. The shopkeepers, who carry on a very extensive retail trade, are numerous, highly respectable, and remarkable for their diligent attention to their respective pursuits. Bandon possess extensive flour mills, two large breweries, and several tan-yards; all of which are conducted with great spirit, much to the credit of their respective proprietors, and the advantage of the community. This borough is governed by a provost, twelve burgesses, and town clerk; and returns one member to the imperial parliament – Lord Visct. Bernard is the present representative. Its public edifices are two good marker houses, a sessions house, a free-school, and a barrack for cavalry. The river divides the town, which is situated in two parishes, viz; Kilbrogan and Ballymodan. The churches, one of which is situated on each side of the river, are in no way remarkable for construction or internal beauty. The other places of worship are two Catholic chapels; near the bridge is a very large and handsome Wesleyan chapel, the interior of which is elegant and commodious, and possesses a good organ; a smaller one of the same persuasion; and a Presbyterian meeting house. Bandon, considering its extent, it remarkable for its charitable institutions, having a fever hospital, a dispensary, a female school of industry, a Protestant charity school for boys, two Catholic charity schools for children of both sexes, and several Sunday schools; there is also a saving’s bank. About half a mile west of the town is Castle Bernard, the delightful residence of the Earl of Bandon. This elegant structure has two regular fronts ornamented with Corinthian pillars of Portland stone; the apartments are sumptuously furnished and convenient, and the mansion is surrounded with tastefully disposed shrubberies, walks, gardens, and a noble park four miles in extent. Numerous other seats, the splendid residences of their opulent and spirited proprietors, tend to enliven the vicinity of Bandon. The town is the joint and undivided property of the Earl of Bandon, and the Duke of Devonshire, and gives the title of baron to the family of Bernard. There are two weekly markets on Wednesday and Saturday, and four fairs in the year, viz; on Ascension day, the 6^th of May, the 29^th of October, and the 8^th of November. The population is estimated at 12,000.

(CC 23/2/1826) – A Meeting was held in Bandon on Monday the 20^th to concert measures to meet the distress which is now spreading among the operative Weavers of that Town. A subscription of £40 was acknowledged from LORD BANDON – We are informed that there are over 1,100 Weavers idle in Bandon. The women and children thrown out of employment exceed that number.

(CC 14/3/1826) – REWARD – WHEREAS, on the Night of Tuesday, the 7^th of March instant, between the Hours of 10 and 12 o Clock, a number of evil disposed Persons, did level and throw down the Walls of a Farm House on the Lands of Killowntain, which BENJAMIN FORDE, of Bandon, Architect, was in progress of building for the Right Honourable the EARL OF BANDON – and did also level and throw down the Arch built over a Watercourse for a communication between the Mail Coach-road and said House – which outrage is suspected to have been the result of a Combination to injure the said BENJAMIN FORDE, he having peremptorily refused to join in the Combinations unfortunately too prevalent amongst the Working Classes. - And whereas the said Outrage has been followed up on the next evening by a Notice signed ‘Captain Rock,’ – threatening to pull down said House as often as it should be built. - Now we whose Names are hereunto subscribed, being justly indignant at the commission of such an outrage, and more particularly on the property of the EARL OF BANDON, who has been continually a benefactor to the working classes – and in the worst of times continued to give employment to numbers, and being also desirous as far as in us lies to prevent the progress of combinations, do hereby offer and promise to pay the sums to our respective names affixed to any person or persons who shall within Six Calendar Months from the date hereof prosecute to conviction any of the persons concerned in the said outrage – and we do also promise to subscribe to a fund in proportion to our Subscriptions, to enable the Provost of Bandon to give £20 sterling to any person who shall give such private information to him as may lead to the discovery and conviction of any of the perpetrators of said Outrage – Bandon 9^th March, 1826.

(CC 28/3/1826) – BANDON PLOUGHING MATCH – On Wednesday the 15^th instant, the Bandon Farming Society held their first Spring Ploughing match for the present year, on the lands of Mishells, near Bandon. There were twenty ploughs in the field, and the attendance of farmers was much greater than on former occasions. Indeed, from the renewed interest which was manifestly felt among the agricultural working classes at this ploughing match, there is good reasons to expect that the Bandon Farming Society will regain that high rank which it formerly held among the Agricultural Associations of this county. – The ploughing was in general excellent, and it was with no small difficulty that the Judges were able to form their decision, in awarding the premiums. The following was the adjudication: -

Premium	Name	Landlord	Prize Amount
1st	Thomas Coombs	Duke of Devonshire	5.5.0
2nd	Dan. Callaghan	John Nash, Esq.	3.3.0
3rd	Thos. Seymour	Duke of Devonshire	2.0.0
4th	Timothy Murphy	Thomas J. Biggs, Esq.	1.0.0
5th	Denis Leary, ploughman to Denis Quinlan, for superior merit	Duke of Devonshire (Quinlan’s landlord)	1.0.0
	For the best Horses and tackling in the field
1st	Michael Good	Robert Popham, Esq.	2.0.0
2nd	Timothy Murphy	Thomas J. Biggs, Esq.	1.0.0

This now very active and efficient Society will hold their next ploughing match at Carhue, near Bandon, on Monday, the 3d of April, subject to the regulations of their premium sheet, for the present year.

(CC 22/4/1826) – BANDON – CORDUROYS, WELBORE, STUFFS and GREY and WHITE CALICOS, Sold at VERY REDUCED Prices, by – JAMES SCOTT, at his Manufactory, Bandon, April 17, 1826

(CC 22/4/1826) – BANDON PLOUGHING MATCH – On the 3d. instant, the Bandon Farming Society, held their second Spring Ploughing Match, at which, notwithstanding that busy period of the year, when every hour is of peculiar value to the Farmer about his individual concerns, no less than THIRTEEN Ploughs were in the field. The ploughing was excellent, surpassing every previous exhibition of the kind in that district. The following were the Candidates to whom premiums were awarded:

Premium	Name	Landlord	Prize Amount
1st	Timothy Callaghan	J. Nash, Esq.	5.5.0
2nd	John Leary	J. Nash, Esq.	3.3.0
3rd	John Desmond	Thomas J. Biggs, Esq.	2.0.0
4th	Richard Coombs	Duke of Devonshire	1.0.0
	For the best Horses and Tackling
	Denis Hurly	Duke of Devonshire	2.0.0
	John Leary	John North, Esq.	1.0.0

The Bandon Society, are now prosecuting their truly useful labours with laudable activity, but we understand that special praise is due to the spirited exertions of Mr. Nash of Brinny, one of its most efficient members, for his persevering endeavours to introduce the best modes of husbandry among his tenants – and example which it is greatly to wished, was more generally followed. We have been informed that, at the close of the year after payment of the different premiums for Crops, Cattle, &c., there will be a Sweepstakes Ploughing Match, and that many farmers of the district, much to their credit, have undertaken to subscribe towards making a fund for the purpose. A spirit of this kind generally prevailing would in a few years effect a most important improvement in the state of the Country. We have been prevented by accident from taking earlier notice of this subject.

(CC 20/6/1826) – The Election for the Borough of Bandon Bridge, was held on Saturday last, at the Town Clerk’s Office, when Lord Viscount DUNCANNON, was proposed by JOHN SWETE, ESQ., seconded by the REV.

BALLYMODAN – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – BALLYMODAN, a parish, partly in the Eastern Division of the barony of EAST CARBERY, but chiefly in that of KINNALMEAKY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER; containing, with the greater part of the borough of Bandon, 9069 inhabitants. It is bounded on the north by the river Bandon, and comprises 7408 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £4670 per annum. The land in general is tolerably good, and the system of agriculture has been greatly improved by the encouragement and example of the Bernard family and the resident gentry of the neighbourhood. The surrounding scenery is richly diversified and embellished with several gentlemen’s seats, among which the principal is Castle Bernard, formerly Castle Mahon, the elegant seat of the Earl of Bandon. It is a stately mansion, erected in 1806 near the site of the former castle, which originally belonged to the O’Mahony family and was subsequently the residence of Judge Bernard, by whom it was greatly improved in 1715. The park, which is on the south bank of the river and about a mile from Bandon, extends into the parish of Kilbrogan, and is justly celebrated for the beauty and variety of its scenery and the extent and rich luxuriance of its woods. At no great distance from the present house is the ancient fortress of the family of O’Mahony, of whom the last chieftain of that sept, Connogher O’Mahony, proprietor of the seigniory of Kinnalmeaky, fell fighting in the rebellion of the Earl of Desmond, whose cause he had embraced; it forms a striking and an interesting feature in the widely extended and highly beautiful demesne. The other seats are the Farm, a handsome house in the Elizabethan style, the residence of the Hon. W S. Bernard; Mayfield, of T Poole, Esq.; Hare Hill, of J. Beamish, Esq.; Mount Prospect, of Mrs. Bradshaw; Overton, of Col. Clerke; Richmount, of J. Sealy, Esq.; and Clancoole, of Mrs. Gillman. The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Cork, and in the patronage of the Bishop; the rectory is impropriate in the Duke of Devonshire. The tithes amount to £800, payable in moieties to the impropriator and the vicar. The church, a plain neat edifice, situated in the town of Bandon, was erected at the expense of the first Earl of Cork, in 1618, and the Ecclesiastical Conunissioners have lately granted £441 for its repair. The glebe contains 9 acres, but there is no glebe-house. In the R. C. divisions the parish is united with that of Kilbrogan and part of Desertserges, forming the union or district of Bandon. There is a place of worship for Presbyterians in con nection with the Synod of Munster, of the second class, and there are also places of worship for Primitive and Wesleyan Methodists. The parochial school is at Bandon; and a large and commodious school house, with a residence for the master, has been erected by the Duke of Devonshire on Cavendish quay; another parochial school at Curravarrahane is endowed with a house for the master and two acres of land by the vicar, by whom also it is supported. There are also several other schools in Bandon, which see. Of the ancient church, situated to the east of the town, only the cemetery remains.

BANDON – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – BANDON, or BANDON BRIDGE, a borough, market, and post town, partly in the parish of KILBROGAN, barony of KINALMEAKY, but chiefly in that of BALLYMODAN, partly in the barony of KINALMEAKY, and partly in the East Division of the barony of EAST CARBERY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 15 miles (S.W) from Cork, and 14th miles (S.W. by S.) from Dublin; containing 9917 inhabitants. This place derives its name from the erection of a bridge over the river Bandon, and owes its origin to the English planters on the great Desmond forfeitures in the reign of Elizabeth. It is first noticed in 1609, when Jas. I. granted to Henry Becher. Esq., the privilege of a Saturday’s market and two fairs at the town lately built on the south side of the river Bandon, near the bridge; and in the grant made to Becher, in 1612, of a moiety of the territory of Kinalmeaky, which was erected into the manor of “Castle Mahowne’ power was given to him and his heirs to appoint a clerk of the market in the newly erected town called Bandon-Bridge, or in any other town within the said territory with the privilege of licensing all tradesmen and artisans settling therein. These grants were shortly after wards purchased by the first Earl of Cork, whose exertions in promot ing its growth and prosperity entitle him to be regarded as the founder of the town, which he peopled with a colony of Protestants from Bristol, and which in a few years, from a mere waste of bog and wood, became a spacious, handsome, and well fortified place, continuing to flourish and to increase in extent and importance. At the commence ment of the civil war in 1641, the town was placed under the govern ment of Lord Kinalmeaky, son of the Earl of Cork, who took possession of it in January 1642, and mustering all the inhabitants put it into an excellent state of defence. As it was the only walled town in this part of the country, it became an asylum for the English of the surrounding district, and by its own resources maintained four companies of foot, raised a corps of volunteers, and made every preparation both for offen sive and defensive warfare. On the 18th of February a party of Irish under McCarty Reagh approached, when Lord Kinalmeaky sallying out with 200 foot and 60 horse, a severe conflict ensued, in which, without the loss of a single townsman, more than 100 of the assailants were killed. The inhabitants soon afterwards, in conjunction with a troop from Kinsale, defeated another party that had lain in ambush to surprise them, and in a short time took several forts in the adjacent territory which had been held by the Irish; they also killed fifty who had made an attempt to carry off their cattle; but on Cromwell’s approach in 1649, they declared for the parliament. In 1688, hearing that the Earl of Clancarty was advancing with six companies of foot of the army of Jas. II., to reinforce the two companies of foot and the troop of horse already stationed here, the inhabitants disarmed the garrison, killed several of the soldiers, took possession of their arms and horses, and shut the gates against the Earl. At length, however, they were obliged to yield for want of provisions, but refused to give up any of their leaders, and consented to pay £1000 as the price of their pardon; on their submission the walls were razed to the ground and have never been rebuilt.

The town is situated on the river Bandon, and on the mail coach road from Cork to Bantry; the principal part lies in a valley environed with lofty hills and watered by the river, which separates the parishes of Ballymodan and Kilbrogan, the former on the south and the latter on the north bank, and near the bridge receives a tributary stream called the Bridewell. Under the various names of Boyle-street, Shannon-street, and Main-street it extends on the south side for about 1 mile parallel with the river, and on the north for about half that distance; it is also built partly on the acclivities of the hills on both sides of the river, which are agreeably wooded and are ornamented with several mansions, villas, and cottages, that give to the environs a pleasing and picturesque appearance. The old town is built on the estate of the Duke of Devonshire, who repairs its streets and is reimbursed by a poundage of five per cent on the rent reserved in all leases of houses in this part; what is called the Irish town, including Boyle, Shannon, and Main streets, with an estate adjoining, belongs to the Earl of Shannon; and the western portion is the property of the Earls of Cork and Bandon. The total number of houses, in 1831, was 1580, of which about 1170 were slated and the remainder thatched: many respectable private houses have been built in the more elevated parts of the town, chiefly of a durable freestone of a light brown colour found in the neighbourhood. The streets are very indifferently paved and only partially flagged: the inhabitants are supplied with water principally from wells and public pumps, the latter erected and kept in repair by the Duke of Devonshire and the Earl of Shannon on their respective estates; and in 1835 a company was formed for lighting the town with gas, which, under the provisions of the general paving act, has likewise power to watch and cleanse the town, and for these purposes has appointed watchmen and scavengers and commenced the erection of gas-works. A public library was established in 1825 by a proprietary of £5 shareholders, who pay a subscription of l0s. annually, and annual subscribers of £1 are admitted by ballot: it contains several hundred volumes, including a copy of Ree’s Encyclopoedia presented by the Duke of Devonshire, and one of Rymers’ Foedera presented by the Government in 1835. The parochial library; under the management of the Protestant clergy, was established in 1823, and contains several hundred volumes on divinity and other subjects; and a similar library was formed by the Wesleyan Methodists in 1830. There are also two reading-rooms supported by annual subscribers; and a third has been recently opened for the poor Protestants, who pay a penny per month and are supplied with newspapers a day or two afer their arrival by gift or loan from the neighbouring gentry. Assemblies are held at the Devonshire Arms hotel, a large and well conducted inn and posting-house, containing a spacious ball-room, in which also concerts and music meetings occasionally take place. The barracks, a neat and commodious building on the north side of the town, affords accommodation for 8 officers and 119 non-commissioned officers and men, with stabling for 61 horses, and are under the inspection of the barrack-master at Kinsale. Near the town is Castle Bernard, the seat of the Earl of Bandon, also many other gentlemen’s seats, which are noticed in their respective parishes. These, with their extensive woods and plantations, particularly the hanging woods to the east of the town and extending two miles beyond Innishannon (noticed by Spenser), impart to the scenery of the neighbourhood a high degree of richness and luxuriance of character.

The manufacture of camlets, stuffs, and other woollen goods prevailed here to a great extent at the close of the last and beginning of the present centuries, and was succeeded by the spinning and weaving of cotton, which continued to flourish till 1825; spinning-mills were erected on a large scale, and more than 1000 persons were employed in weaving, but both branches have fallen off, insomuch that the mills are in ruins and not more than 100 weavers are employed. A manufacture of fine stuffs was introduced in 1835 by Mr. Scott, who has erected a steam-engine for preparing the wool and spinning the yarn: this establishment affords employment to nearly 100 persons, exclusively of 100 weavers in the town and neighbourhood, and its produce has already obtained considerable celebrity for its superior texture. Here are five ale and porter breweries, three of which are extensive and produce 25,000 barrels annually: also two very large distilleries, one of which, the property of Messrs. Allman and Co., is capable of producing 200,000 gallons of whiskey annually; the other was built by Maurice Fitzgerald, Esq., in 1835, and consumes annually 1400 barrels of malt and 5800 barrels of oats and barley, yielding 60,000 gallons f whiskey. Connected with the latter is a large flour-mill, and there is so another on an extensive scale. This place has long been noted for the tanning of leather, which is in great demand: there are nine tan-yards in active operation, employing more than 100 men. From the great consumption of the breweries, distilleries, and mills, very little grain is exported: the imports are coal, culin, timber (in which a considerable trade is carried on direct with St. John’s, New Brunswick, and Quebec), and iron, which are brought in sloops to Colliers’ Quay, three miles from the town, and thence by land carriage; articles of domestic consumption are brought by land carriage principally from Cork. A canal from Colliers’ Quay to Dunmanway has been at different times contemplated, and surveys have been made, but the design as not yet been carried into effect; and a railway has been lately projected from Rockpoint, four miles to the east, which, if brought through the town, would be of great benefit to its trade. Branches of Provincial Bank of Ireland and of the Agricultural and Commercial Banking Company have been established here. The markets are on Wednesday and Saturday, of which the latter is the principal, and is abundantly supplied with provisions of all kinds; and fairs are held on 6th, Holy Thursday, Oct. 29th, and Nov. 8th, for live stock and general merchandise. There are three convenient market-places, built at the expense of the Duke of Devonshire: the meat and fish markets, the north side of the river, are held in a commodious building in the form of a polygon, surrounded by stalls and forming a piazza for market people: the potatoe, corn, and egg markets, on the south are held in an oblong edifice conveniently fitted up and well adapted to its several uses; more than 20,000 eggs are sold here every week during the spring, and are conveyed to Cork to be shipped for England. The tolls of the town belong to the Duke of Devonshire, and after the determination of a demise of them to the corporation in were paid until 1830, when His Grace suspended the collection of them until some arrangement should be effected by the legislature. A regular and extensive intercourse is maintained between this town and Cork, for which city several stage coaches leave daily and return the same evening; the Cork and Bantry mail passes and re-passes daily, every alternate day a stage coach from Skibbereen to Cork passes through the town: there are also mail coaches every day to Kinsale, Dunmanway, and Timoleague. Here is a chief station of the constabulary police.

The inhabitants were incorporated by charter of the 11th of Jas. I. (1614), and by letters patent of the 19th of Chas. 11(1667) received a grant of lands in the baronies of Ibane and Barryroe. Jas. II., in the 4th of his reign, granted a new charter founded on a seizure of the franchises, which soon became inoperative. The corporation is styled “The Provost, Free Burgesses, and Commonalty of the Borough of Bandon Bridge;” and consists of a provost, 12 burgesses, and an unlimited number of freemen, assisted by a town-clerk and two serjeants-at-mace. The common council is a body not mentioned in the charter, but constituted by a by-law of the corporation made in 1621: it consists of twelve members who are elected from the freemen by the corporation at large, as vacancies occur. The burgesses are chosen from the common council, on vacancies occurring, by the provost and burgesses; and the provost is elected annually from and by the burgesses at Midsummer, and enters upon his office at Michaelmas: the provost and burgesses also appoint the town-clerk and serjeants-at-mace. The freedom is at present acquired by grace, birth for the eldest son of a free man, and nomination of the provost, who during the year of his office has the privilege of naming one; the freemen are elected by a majority of the body at large assembled in a court of D’Oyer Hundred; neither residence nor any other qualification is considered necessary. The borough sent two members to the Irish parliament prior to the Union, since which period it has returned one to the Imperial parliament: the right of election was formerly vested in the provost and burgesses only, but by the act of the 2nd of Wm. IV., cap. 88, has been extended to the £10 householders; and a new boundary was formed for electoral purposes closely encircling the town, and comprising an area of 439 acres, which is minutely described in the Appendix. The number of voters registered in March 1836 was 367, of whom 355 were £10 householders and 12 burgesses: the provost is the returning officer. He is also by charter a justice of the peace within the borough, and is named in all commissions of the peace for the county A court of record was formerly held every Thursday, with jurisdiction to the amount of £3.6. 8., but has been discontinued of late years. The quarter sessions for the West Riding are held here every Monday by the county magistrates, who by courtesy have concurrent jurisdiction with the provost within the borough. The court-house is a neat building; and not far from it is a commodious county bridewell. Manorial courts or the recovery of debts under 40s are held once in three weeks respectively by the seneschals of the different manors: the manor of Castle Mahon or Castle Bernard belongs to the Earl of Bandon; Coolfadda, to the Duke of Devonshire; and Claugh McSimon, to the Earl of Shannon. The corporation formerly possessed lands under the patent of Chas. II amounting to about 1340 statute acres, which having mortgaged at different periods, they finally disposed of with a view to pay certain debts in 1809, since which period they have had noi ncome or property of any kind.

The parish churches of Ballymodan and Kilbrogan are both in the town: the former is not distinguished by any architectural details of importance; it contains a handsome monument to Fras. Bernard, Esq., one of the justices of the court of common pleas, and an ancestor of the Earl of Bandon. The church of Kilbrogan, commonly called Christchurch, was begun in 1610 by Henry Becher, Esq., and finished by the first Earl of Cork in 1625, as appears by a date on a stone in the south wall: it is a cruciform structure, and occupies the site of a Danish encampment; in the churchyard are the graves of three of Clancarty’s soldiers, who were slain in the attempt to take the town for Jas. II. In the R. C. divisions this place is the head of a union or district which comprises the parishes of Ballymodan and Kilbrogan, and part of that of Deserserges: the chapel is a spacious and handsome edifice, built by subscription in 1796, and situated on an eminence in the south part of the town: there is also a chapel at Agrohil in Kilbrogan. On an elevated site in the north part of the town is a convent of the Presentation order, established in 1829, to which are attached a domes chapel and a spacious school-room, in which, according to the season, from 200 to 400 poor female children are gratuitously instructed. There is a meeting-house for Presbyterians in connection with the Synod of Munster; also places of worship for Primitive and Wesleyan Methodists, of which that for the latter is a large and handsome edifice. The classical school was founded by the Earl of Burlington: the master has a commodious residence, with suitable offices and a large play-ground attached, and receives a salary of 40 per ann. from the Duke of Devonshire. A suitable building in the old Cork road, comprising separate school-rooms for boys and girls, an infants’ school, and apartments for the master and mistress, was erected at the expense of the Duke of Devonshire: the former, containing about 100 children, is supported by the trustees of Erasmus Smith’s foundation; and the latter, in which are 90 infants, is supported by the joint contributions of the Duke and the rector of the parish. A large and handsome school in Shannon-street, in which 120 girls and 100 infants are gratuitously taught, was built in 1814 by the proceeds of a repository and by contributions, and is supported by subscriptions of the Duke of Devonshire and others. His Grace has also built a handsome school on Cavendish quay, towards the support of which he subscribes £50 per ann., and the remainder of the expenses are defrayed by local contributions; about 100 children are gratuitously taught in this school. Adjoining the R. C. chapel is a school aided by a subscription of £30 per ann. from the Duke, in which 200 boys are taught. The Wesleyan Methodists have three schools, in which 70 boys, 65 girls, and 80 infants receive instruction; one for boys is supported by H. Cornwall, Esq. An infirmary, fever hospital, and a dispensary are maintained in the customary manner. A savings’ bank was established in 1817, and a handsome building was erected from the surplus funds in 1835: the deposits, in 1836, amounted to more than £22,000. Several bequests have been made for the benefit of the poor. Sir Richard Cox, an eminent statesman and historian, born in 1650; Dr. Nicholas Brady, who assisted Tate in composing a new version of the Psalms, born in 1659; and Sir William Jumper, a distinguished naval officer, were natives of this place. The town gives the titles of Earl, Viscount, and Baron to the family of Bernard, Earls of Bandon; and inferior title of Baron of Bandon-Bridge to the family of Boyle, Earls of Cork and Orrery. —See BALLYMODAN and KILBROGAN.

KILBROGAN – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – KILBROGAN, a parish, in the barony of KINNALMEAKY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, on the road from Cork to Bandon; containing, with part of that borough, 5710 inhabitants. This parish, called also Knockbrogan, is bounded on the south by the river Bandon, and comprises 7355 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at 5767 per annum. The land is in general of good quality; about one-third is in pasture, principally included in the demesne of the Earl of Bandon. At Lauragh an extensive tract of waste has been brought into cultivation by John Swanton, Esq., who has lately introduced the Scottish system of agriculture. Lime brought from Aherlow, six miles distant, and sea sand from Colliers’ quay, are the chief manures. The prevailing substratum is clay-slate; but there are some good quarries of freestone, that principally supplied the stone of which the chief part of the new town of Bandon is built. The scenery in many parts is pleasingly varied, and there are several gentlemen’s seats: the principal are Roughgrove, the residence of Maskelyne Alcock, Esq.; Mount Pleasant, of H. Baldwin, Esq.; Mishalls, of W. Connor, Esq.; Coolfadda House, of B. Popham, Esq.; Lauragh, of I. Swanton, Esq.; Woodlands, of G. Cornwall, Esq.; and Park View, of H. Cornwall, Esq. The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cork, united from time immemorial to the rectory of Aglish, together forming the union and corps of the prebend of Kilbrogan in the cathedral church of St. Finbarr, Cork, in the patron age of the Bishop: the tithes amount to 650. The church is in Bandon: divine service is also performed in the school-house at Carhue, where a chapel of ease is about to be erected. The glebe-house is beautifully situated on an eminence surrounded by plantations, and the glebe comprises 32 ¾ acres. In the R. C. divisions the parish forms part of the union or district of Bandon: the chapel, situated in the old churchyard, is a small plain edifice. There are twelve public schools in the parish, in which about 900 children are taught. —See BANDON.

SLATER’S 1846 DIRECTORY - BANDON AND NEIGHBOURHOOD (In the original, Innishannon was included)

BANDON, or BANDON BRIDGE, is a large and respectable market town, and borough both corporate and parliamentary, partly in the parish of Kilbrogan, barony of Kinalmeaky, but chiefly in that of Ballymodan, barony of East Carbery, county of Cork, 174 miles SW from Dublin, and 19 SW from Cork; pleasantly situated on the banks of the river from which it derives its name, and is the terminus of the Bandon and Cork railway. This town was founded by the celebrated Richard Boyle, first Earl of Cork, about the year 1610; by his interest it was incorporated, and several charters were obtained, granting to the inhabitants many privileges and advantages. At one period Bandon was chiefly inhabited by English Protestants, who walled and fortified the town, and built two churches and market houses. The walls were, however, demolished by the Irish in 1689, for which violence no Catholics were, for a long time, permitted to reside in the town. The settlers being an industrious and economical people, Bandon soon began to flourish and increase, till at length the streets within the walls becoming incapable of containing its population, several additional ones were built in various parts of the suburbs, and it has continued to improve in appearance and increase in wealth ever since. The Roman Catholics at the present day out number considerably the Protestants. The principal part of the present town lies in a valley, environed with lofty hills. Under the various names of Main-street, Boyle-street, and Shannon-street, it extends on the south side for about a mile and a half parallel with the river, and on the north for about half that distance. Many of the habitations are built on the acclivity of the hills on both sides of the river, which are agreeably wooded and embellished with several mansions and villas that impart to the environs a pleasing appearance. The old town stands on the estate of the Duke of Devonshire; that part called Irish town is the property of the Earl of Shannon, and the western portion belongs to the Earls of Cork and Bandon. In addition to the corn and provision trade, there are several linen and woollen manufactories, a cotton-spinning factory, two breweries, the like number of extensive distilleries, several tanneries, maltings, and flour mills; a branch of the Provincial Bank of Ireland, a saving’s bank, and town hotels. The shopkeepers, who carry on a very extensive retail trade, are numerous and highly respectable. The inhabitants were incorporated by charter of James I. James II granted a new one, and Charles II conferred lands on the corporation. The government is now vested in the magistrates, who hold general sessions for the west-riding in October or November, and petty sessions for the division every Monday. Manorial courts for the recovery of debts under 40s are held once in three weeks respectively, by the seneschals of the different manors of Castle Mahon, Coolgadda, and Clough M’Simon, belonging to the noblemen before-named. Bandon returns one member to the Imperial Parliament, in the person of the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Bernard, of Bernard Castle. Bandon confers the title of baron on the family of Bernard.

There are two churches under the establishment, belonging respectively to the parishes of Ballymodan and Kilbrogan – the former is not distinguished by any striking feature, architectural or otherwise. Kilbrogan church, commonly called Christ church, is a cruciform structure, begun in 1610, and finished by the first Earl of Cork in 1625. The other places of worship are two spacious and handsome Roman Catholic chapels – one of which was built in 1796; one each for Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists; one for Presbyterians; a Scots church, and a chapel attached to the Presentation Convent. The sisters of the last-named establishment devote themselves assiduously to the instruction of the poor children of the town and its vicinity. Bandon, considering its extent, is remarkable for its charitable institutions, having a fever hospital, a dispensary, a union workhouse, a female school of industry, a Protestant charity school for boys, two Catholic charity schools for children of both sexes, and several Sunday schools. About half a mile west of the town is Castle Bernard, the delightful residence of the Earl of Bandon. This elegant structure has two regular fronts, ornamented with Corinthian pillars of Portland stone; the apartments are sumptuously furnished and convenient, and the mansion is surrounded with tastefully disposed shrubberies, walks, gardens and a noble park four miles in extent. Numerous other seats, the residences of opulent and spirited proprietors, tend to enliven the vicinity of Bandon. The markets which are well supplied with all kinds of provisions and cattle, are held on Wednesday and Saturday. Fairs, May 6^th, Ascension day, October 29^th, November 8^th, and the first Wednesday in each of the other months. The population of the town and borough, in 1841, was 9049.

_____________________________________________________________

(CE 1/7/1844) – THE BANDON ORANGEMEN – Are those unhappy men mad? Are those broken-down victims of the Union utterly demented? If not, why do they seek, by their absurd and mischievous conduct, to perpetuate those accursed jealousies which have so long been the bane of Ireland? What will rational men think, when we assure them, on the most undoubted authority – that of two respectable eye-witnesses – that the Protestant Churches of that afflicted, pauperised, ruined town were decorated all day yesterday with flags, - one, a Union-Jack, bedecked with Orange lillies; the other, a black flag! Good God! Is not this intolerance both puerile and disgusting! The temple of the Divinity is shamefully desecrated by the emblems of hate and ferocity, and the banners of party warfare float over the ruins of trade and manufactures – over the grave of prosperous industry and national independence. Poor fools! Will they ever learn sense? Will they ever trace their poverty and degradation to its right source, the Union and their own accursed passions! - By way of precaution, Mr. Sub-Inspector BRETT drafted Police from various quarters, and placed strong guards round both churches, so that no party display should be allowed. But lo! And behold, in spite of the Police, or by the connivance of the Police – we know not, but such is the fact – the flags were floating on the church steeples yesterday morning, and remained there all day. Why did not MR. BRETT insist on their being taken down? Was there no magistrate in the town? Some explanation is here due.

(CE 10/1/1844), Death Notice:- ‘ At Bandon, on the 2^nd inst., aged 66, Jane, the beloved wife of Mr. William Shine, second daughter of the late John Lamb, Esq., after a long and painful illness, which she bore with truly Christian patience and resignation.’

(CE 24/11/1845) - O CONNELL TRIBUTE – BANDON, Nov. 23, 1845 – My Dear Sir – A meeting was held this day in the Free School, at which our invaluable Pastor (The Very Rev. Mr. Delany) presided. A subscription was opned, a committee formed, and other measures entered into, with a view to the Collection of the O Connell Compensation Fund in this Town and its vicinity. I am my dear Sir, yours, &c., M. P. ENGLAND – (Note:- No list of subscribers attached, but see below, 1846.)

(CC 13/8/1845) – BANDON UNION – Wednesday – Mr. Alcock, Esq., JP, in the Chair. Present Messrs. Nashe, Tresillian, Harburton, A. Bennett, Moore and Dr. Corbett. - Number in the house, 275: admitted, 4; total 279. - The minutes of last day’s proceedings were read, also letters from the Board of Works, and the Poor Law Commissioners, the former calling for the instalments of the building loan, amounting to £1,300; the latter lecturing the Guardians on their resolution to discontinue the vaccination contracts. - In consequence of the late Collectors, with one exception, having refused to collect the rate about to be struck, at 6d. in the pound, it was resolved that advertisements be inserted calling for tenders at the above rate of poundage, to be sent in by next board day. - The contractor for enlaging the hospital, the greater part of which is now completed, applied for £100, which was granted. – MESMERISM – A girl named Mary Farrissy, aged 14 years, an inmate of the house for two years, was presented to the Board. It appeared that his girl had been deaf for four years, and incapable of receiving instruction in the school of the house, owing to the infirmity. She was mesmerised last week, and to the surprise of all present, during the sleep, answered questions asked in the usual tone of voice. To-day she replied to question put in a whisper. – The Master reported the case of a male pauper, aged 40, whose desitution had been caused by severe rheumatism, which rendered him a cripple, and obliged him to use crutches. This man was mesmerised this morning, and on the air of ‘a trip to the cottage’ being played on the flute, during the sleep, he stood up and danced! – The Guardians were amused at the recital of this case.

Conner Sullivan, Esq., and seconded by John Hurley, Esq. - Resolved – That this meeting fully approves of the projected line of Railway, commencing at the Bandon terminus of the Cork and Bandon Railway, as connecting this town with the West Riding of the county of Cork, and embracing the traffic of the towns of Dunmanway, Ballineen, Enniskean, Rosscarbery, Skibbereen, and Bantry, and as being the only line to Bantry calculated to remunerate the Shareholders, and at the same time afford the greatest amount of public accommodation, and it is the decided opinion of this meeting that the project called the ‘Cork Western Junction Railway ‘ would be subversive of, and totally destroy the interests of the Town of Bandon. - Resolved – That Petitons from the Town of Bandon and its neighbourhood, in favour of the Railway from Bandon to Bantry, be prepared for Parliament, and that his Grace the Duke of Devonshire be requested to present the same to the House of Lords, and H.

(CE 16/7/1847) - BANDON – A respectable professional correspondent of Bandon, informs us concerning the sanatory condition of that town. We regret to know that fever is not on the decrease there; and that dysentery is prevalent and fatal to the better class of tradesmen. The mortality in the Workhouse, however, had lessened during the week ending 10^th inst. Many of the patients recovering from fever, suffer dysentery which, in most cases, is fatal, by reason of the reduced condition in which fever leaves them. The Fever Hospital is full of fever. The future prospects are not at all encouraging. The small pox is very prevalent, and our correspondent, an excellent authority on the matter, apprehends scarletina in the autumn months. The measles were for some time rife in the town; but they have subsided.

(CE 5/4/1848) CORK SPRING ASSIZES-1848 - COUNTY CRIMINAL CASES - FIRING AT A CONSTABLE - (Transcribed by Anita Sheahan Coraluzzi (c) 2002. All Rights Reserved.) - JOHN COGHLAN was charged with having fired a gun at Constable JOHN RIXON, on the 16^th of August 1847, at Cashelmore. - Head Constable WRIGHT, examined by Mr. BENNETT, Q. C., -- On the 16^th of August last went to house of JOHN COGHLAN, the prisoner; there were four men and the sub-inspector with him; JOHN RIXON was one of the men; had a magistrate's warrant against prisoner; went from Bandon to the house at half past six in the evening; found the doors barricaded. - His Lordship--What do you mean by barricaded? Do you mean closed from the inside? - Witness--Yes my lord, it was bolted inside. - His Lordship--And why did you not say so--don't mind talking about barricades (laughter). - Examination continued--The sub-inspector called on prisoner to surrender, and said he would give him five minutes to do so; prisoner said he would not surrender and that he would kill or be killed first; they then commenced to break down the door; a shot was fired from the inside and Sub-constable RIXON received a slight wound on the shoulder; witness then saw that the door was kept shut by a quantity of heavy furniture, some timber, and a cart-wheel; they broke open the window and got in; prisoner then surrendered; there was no one else in the house but a child of eight or nine years old; there was an old musket in the house, which had the appearance of having been recently fired. - To His Lordship--The shot was fired through an opening in the door, so that the person inside must have seen the parties outside.

Prisoner here stated that he had been served with an ejectment on his farm and a bailiff came to turn him out and drive off his cattle; Mr. O CONNELL, his Attorney, endeavoured to get some compensation for his outlay, but his landlord would not give it to him; he then refused giving up the house, and a bailiff came to drive off his cattle, with whom he had a fight, and by whom informations were sworn against him, and the police came to execute the warrant. Prisoner stated that the shot fired from his house was not fired by him, and that he was treated with great harshness by the police. - The witness, in reply to a question from a Juror, stated that there was no back door or window to the house, by which any person might have got out without having been seen by the police.

WILLIAM GORE BRETT, Sub-inspector, examined by Mr. COPPINGER, Q.C. Was with the party who went to the prisoner's house on the 16^th of August; prisoner said he would not surrender; that he would be killed or kill some of them; gave him five minutes to surrender and said, if he did not they would break in the door; all the time they were endeavouring to break open the door prisoner was throwing stones out at the police; the hole through which the shot was fired was up high in the door, and could not have been reached by the child, who was the only person in the house with the prisoner.

JOHN RIXON, Sub Constable, examined by Mr. BENNETT, Q.C. Was of the party who went to the prisoner's house; received a wound in the shoulder from a gun; the wound appeared to be caused by a slug; it only grazed his shoulder, and did not remain in the flesh.

Mr. WM. LYONS deposed that he is an apprentice to Dr. JAGO, Apothecary in Bandon, and said that he saw the wound in WRIXON's [sic] shoulder, which appeared to have been caused by a grain of shot. - His Lordship summed up the evidence, After some consultation, the Jury returned a verdict of guilty on the last count of the indictment; which set forth that the shot was fired for the purpose of hindering his arrest. The jury recommended the prisoner to mercy.

(CC 24/6/1848) – TO THE EDITOR OF THE CORK CONSTITUTION - SIR – Your Evening Contemporary, in his publication of Tuesday, speaks of the formation of a Confederate Club here, under the presidency of a Mr. M. P. ENGLAND, and states that the ‘sticklers for Protestant ascendency’ will join the ranks of these mischief-loving ‘Patriots.’

Permit me to contradict this statement. The respectable portion of the Catholic inhabitants, as well as the entire Protestant population, having nothing whatever to say to this miserable effort of an ‘expiring faction.’ It is an attempt made by a few desperate politicians who have ruined their humble fortunes by attending through life to public affairs, and neglecting their own. They have now nothing to lose, and prefer using their exertions – powerless though they be – in producing a state of anarchy and confusion, which may lead to a general scramble when they may gain something. Such is a brief summary of their objects and patriotism. That same is applicable, with few exceptions, to the gentlemen acting in a higher sphere, of whom these poor fellows are the humble and misguided copyists – Your very obedient servant, BLACK MONDAY, Bandon, June 22^nd, 1848
