PIGOT’S DIRECTORY 1824 – KINSALE
KINSALE, IS distant 11 miles and a half south of Cork, in which county it is situated, 136 miles south west of Dublin, and 9 east south east of Bandon. Its harbour, at the mouth of the Bandon, is very commodious and safe, and the river is navigable for large vessels nearly 12 miles above the town. Kinsale is of great antiquity and received grants of various franchises and liberties from many of the Kings of England. Those charters rendered it, in some measure, a republic, and gave a power to the corporation of appointing a recorder, and trying all manner of offences occurring within the town and liberties (treasons only excepted), and a court of record, which has jurisdiction over the recovery of debts to any amount within the liberties and by sea as far as Dursey island. In the year 1660 the charters were forfeited, because the inhabitants had permitted the Spaniards to land and take possession of the town; but after the reduction of the place, in the same year, they were reinstated in their privileges, and in the two succeeding reigns received considerable marks of royal munificence. In the reign of Charles the 2d in 1670 the Earl of Orrery began a regular fort, to which the Duke of Ormond gave the name of Charles-fort; this was finished at an expense of £70,000. It stands at some distance below the town, is very strong, and completely commands the harbour, as ships must pass it within pistol shot. This fort and a commodious barrack near the town are capable of containing 2000 men. When James the 2d came over to Ireland from France, he landed at this port on the 12th March 1688, but notwithstanding the strength of the works. In the Autumn of 1690, it was reduced by the Earl of Marlborough, who took the old fort by storm, the Irish governor being killed in the breach; Charles-fort then surrendered, and the town fell of course. The ruins of the old fort now form a very picturesque appearance from the public walks about the town. Kinsale is built on sloping ground between Compass-hill and the harbour and extends about an English mile in length. Near the centre of the town on an elevated situation there are assembly, reading and news rooms, and a beautiful public walk called the bowling green, ornamented with trees and commanding a delightful view of the harbour and of the two well built villages of Cove (Summercove) and Scilly. This place is peculiarly adapted for sea bathing, which may be enjoyed at all times of the tide, and has two very neat and convenient establishments for hot and cold baths, one at the village of Scilly, and the other in the town. These, together with the salubrity of the air, the cheapness of provisions, and the agreeable society which the place affords, render it a place of very fashionable resort during the summer months. There are docks and yards for repairing ships, a custom house with the proper establishment of officers, and the merchants who reside here, trade very extensively. The fisheries are prosecuted with spirit, the produce of which, with grain and provisions, forms the principal articles of exportation. The public institutions are a fever hospital, a dispensary, a charitable loan, three schools for the gratuitous education of poor children, and a savings’ bank. The places of public worship are the parish church, two exteriorly plain, interiorly neat and commodious chapels for Wesleyan Methodists, and two Catholic chapels. Kinsale gives the title of baron to the ancient and noble family of De Courcey, and returns one member to the imperial parliament; the present representative is Admiral Sir Josias Rowley, Bart. It is governed by a sovereign and recorder. Fairs are held on the fourth of May, the fourth of September, and the 21st of November. The population is estimated at 8,500.

1837 DUNDERROW – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary - DUNDERROW, a parish, partly in the county of the city of CORK, partly in the barony of KINSALE, partly in that of KINNALEA, but chiefly in the barony of EAST MUSKERRY, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 4 miles (W. by N.) from Kinsale, on the road to Bandon; containing 2498 inhabitants. This parish comprises 6371 ½ statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £4167 per annum; about 800 acres are bog and moun tain, and 971 ¼ waste; the remainder is good land, the greater portion being arable. It consists of several detached portions, and has consequently a great variety of surface and soil; Dunderrow proper is generally composed of a light soil, which is very well cultivated, and produces abundant crops. A new line of road is in progress through the parish, leading from Kinsale to Bandon. In the Bandon river, which bounds it on the south, are several salmon weirs. The principal residences are Leoffney House, that of E. Gillman, Esq.; Killaney, of T. Markham, Esq.; Ballyvrin, of W. Dorman, Esq.; Dunderrow Cottage, of the Rev. R. Halburd; Ballinphilleck, of W. Barter, Esq.; Corron, of J. Horneybrooke, Esq.; Gortnaclough, of W. Beasley, Esq.; Hop Island, of G. Edwards, Esq.; and the glebe-house, of the Rev. M. O’Donovan: besides several good houses belonging to respectable farmers. The living is a rectory in the diocese of Cork, and in the patronage of T. C. Kearney, Esq., of Garretstown: the tithes amount to £525, of which £150 is payable to the dean and chapter of St. Finbarr’s, Cork, and the remainder to the rector. The glebe-house was built by aid of a gift of £250 and a loan of £550, from the late Board of First Fruits, in 1821: the glebe comprises 24a. 3r. 27p. The church, a small handsome edifice, with a lofty square tower, was erected by aid of a loan of £500, in 1812, from the same Board. In the churchyard is a handsome pyramidal monument of marble erected over the remains of an English lady, who died at Kinsale while on tour through Ireland. In the R. C. divisions the parish forms the union or district of Kinsale, but the detached portions belong to the several parishes by which they are surrounded: the chapel is at Ballynamona. The parochial school, situated at Leoffhey, is jointly supported by Capt. Herrick and the rector; and there is a daily pay school at Ballynamona. About 100 boys and 40 girls are educated in a private school; and a Sunday school is chiefly maintained by the Rev. Robert Halburd. The doon, from which the parish derives its name, has been partly removed: the queen’s forces secured themselves upon it in 1601, prior to the siege of Kinsale, when the Spanish forces were in possession.

1837 KINSALE – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary KINSALE, or KINGSALE, a sea-port, borough, and market-town, in the barony of KINSALE, county of CORK, and province of MUN STER, 14 miles (S.) from Cork, and 140 (S.W) from Dublin; containing 7823 inhabitants, of which number, 6897 are in the town. This place, of which, from its very great antiquity, the origin is but imperfectly known, is supposed to have derived its name from the Irish Cean Taile, signifying “the headland in the sea,” in allusion to the promontory called the Old Head, or from Ciun Saila, a “smooth sea or basin:” it is also in some ancient Irish manuscripts called Fan-na-Tuabrid, or “the fall of the springs.” On the promontory called the Old Head, about 6 miles from the town, was an encampment, supposed, but on very doubtful authority, to have been the residence of some of the ancient kings of Ireland, of which the site is now occupied by the ruins of a castle built in the 12th century by the celebrated De Courcy, who, having married into the family of the De Cogans, the first English grantees, became possessed of a large tract of country now forming the barony of Courcy, adjoining that of Kinsale on the south-west. It appears from a very early period to have been a borough by prescription, as the charter of incorporation granted to the inhabitants by Edw. III., in the 7th of his reign, states in its preamble that the town “was surrounded by Irish enemies and English rebels, and that the burgesses had always obeyed the king’s orders in repelling the same, who had often by sea and land assailed the town, the walls of which had become ruinous and the burgesses unable to repair them.” Power was therefore granted to choose a “sovereign,” to collect certain customs for repairing the walls, and to treat separately with or make war upon the Irish enemies. John de Courcy having become lord of Kinsale and also of the adjoining castle of Ringrone, was succeeded in his estates by his grandson Mio, who near the latter place defeated Florence McCarty More and a large party of his followers, and drove them into the river Bandon, where many of them were drowned. In 1380, the French and Spanish fleets were pursued by the English into this haven, where an engagement took place in which the former were defeated with great loss, many of their ships taken, and 20 English vessels which they had made prizes, recaptured. In the following year the inhabitants received a charter from Rich. II., granting to the “Provost” and Commonalty; in consideration of the insult they had received from the Spanish and Irish enemies and the English rebels, the small customs of the port, at a yearly rent of ten marks, the surplus to be laid out in completing the walls of the town. Edw. IV., in 1482, confirmed the charter, appointed the sovereign admiral of the port, with jurisdiction extending from the Bulman rock to Innishannon; and granted the corporation all such rights and privileges as were enjoyed by the citizens of Cork. The inhabitants having countenanced the pretensions of Lambert Simnel, Sir Richard Edgecumbe arrived here on the 27th June, 1488, with five ships and 500 men, to exact new oaths of allegiance from the Irish leaders; and on the day following, the townsmen, having sworn fealty to Hen. VII. in the church of St. Multosia, and entered into recognizances, received a pardon; but they were compelled by the Earl of Kildare to renew their oaths in 1498. The town was partly consumed in 1594 by a fire which destroyed Cork-street. In 1601, a Spanish fleet bringing assistance to the Irish insurgents entered the harbour and landed its troops, on the 23rd of September. Immediately after the departure of the fleet, these forces, under the command of Don Juan D’Aquila, took possession of the town, which on their landing had been abandoned by the garrison, consisting at that time of only one company. The English army advanced on the 17th of October to the hill of Knock-Robbin, within a mile of the town, and commenced that memorable siege which has rendered this place so celebrated in the Irish annals. The castle of Rincurran, situated on the river, having been seized by the enemy as an advantageous post for annoying the English shipping, after sustaining for some days a severe cannonade, surrendered to the Lord-Deputy Mountjoy. The forces of the English were every day advancing, when, on intelligence that the northern army under O’Nial was in full march to join the Spaniards, it was resolved to divide the royal army, leaving one part under Lord Mountjoy to continue the siege of Kinsale, while the other, under Sir G. Carew, Lord-President of Munster, marched against O’Nial. Sir George, after a harassing and fruitless expedition, was compelled to return to Kinsale. In the mean time the English received a reinforce ment of 1000 men from England under the Earl of Thomond; 2000 infantry, with some cavalry, were also landed at Waterford, and 2000 infantry, with a supply of military stores at Cork. Castle-ni-Park, a fortress on the opposite side of the river, was attacked by the English and compelled to surrender; but on summoning the town, they were answered that “it was held for Christ and the King of Spain, and should be maintained against all their enemies.” The northern army under O’Nial had now encamped within six miles of the town cutting off all communication with Cork, and was approaching the English lines, when the Lord-Deputy, leaving Sir G. Carew to carry on the siege, marched against the insurgents with 1200 infantry and 400 horse, and routed them with great slaughter. All the Spaniards that had joined the insurgents from Castlehaven were either killed on the spot or taken prisoners; the enemy had on this occasion 1200 killed and 800 wounded, while, on the part of the English, one cornet only and a few privates were wounded. The Spanish commander, Don Juan, mistaking the vollies fired by the royal army in honour of their victory, for signals of the approach of the Irish forces, sallied out from the town to meet them; but perceiving his error, immediately retired, and on the arrival of the English before the gates, entered into terms of capitulation and surrendered the town, just at a time when the King of Spain was preparing to send large reinforcements, and to carry on the war with increased vigour. During the siege and the sickness that followed it, the royal army lost no less than 6000 men; but the fall of Kinsale and the consequent destruction of the Spanish power in Ireland, at this critical juncture, were the means of saving the country. On the first landing of the Spaniards, the burgesses delivered to Sir George Carew their charter, seal, mace, and royal standard, to preserve for them in safety; and on their subsequent application to him for their restoration, were told that he considered them as forfeited, but that he would write to the Queen in their favour. He was soon afterwards ordered to restore them to the corporation, on condition that they should, at their own expense, repair the town walls and find labourers to complete the new fortress of Castle-ni-Park, which they undertook to perform.
During the warof 1641, the Irish inhabitants were expelled from the town; and in 1649 Prince Rupert and Prince Maurice entered the bay with a fleet, in order to make preparations for the landing of Chas. II., but finding themselves blocked up by Blake and Dean, the parliamentarian admirals, they made their escape with four frigates to Lisbon; and on Cromwell’s approach in the latter part of the same year, the town declared for the parliament. About the year 1677, the Duke of Ormonde erected for the defence of the town and harbour a new citadel, called Charles Fort. Jas. II. landed here on the 12th of March, 1689, and after being entertained by Donough, Earl of Clancarty; proceeded to Cork. On the l4th, an army of 5000 French landed here under the command of Count Lauzun and the Marquess de Lary, to join whom James sent as many of the Irish under Major Gen. McCarty. On the 14th of April, Admiral Herbert appeared off the harbour with his fleet, which the governor of the town, Mac Elligot, mistaking for the French fleet expected at that time, prepared to with draw his forces that the French might take possession of the town, but on discovering his error he returned to prepare for its defence. On the surrender of Cork in the following year, Brigadier-Gen. Villiers was sent to take possession of Kinsale, which was abandoned as untenable by the enemy, who dispersed their troops in the adjacent forts. Major Gen. Tettan and Col. Fitzpatrick, therefore, with about 800 men, crossed the river on the 2nd of October and marched to the old fort of Castle-ni-Park, which they assaulted and took by storm; the garrison retired into the castle of Ringroan, but on their entrance, three barrels of their gunpowder took fire at the gate, which was blown up and about 40 of them destroyed; and Col. Driscoll and about 200 of the garrison being killed by the artillery, the rest surrendered upon quarter. Charles Fort was then summoned, and the trenches of the besiegers were opened on the 5th October; a breach was made and a mine sprung, but just when the assault was about to take place, Sir Edward Scott surrendered upon honourable terms, and the troops were allowed to march out with their arms and baggage to Limerick. Brigadier-Gen. Churchhill, brother to the Earl of Marlborough, was made governor of Charles Fort, and the town became the winter quarters of part of the English army; the walls on the land side were on this occasion destroyed by order of government. In 1691, the English and Dutch Smyrna fleets lay in the port, while the grand fleets of both nations guarded the mouth of the harbour. The importance of the haven was soon after manifested by its affording a secure asylum to the Virginia and Barbadoes fleets, till an opportunity was found of convoying them in safety to their respective ports. On various subsequent occasions, especially during the last war, this port has been a rendezvous for large squadrons of the British navy and for homeward and outward bound East and West India fleets.
The town is pleasantly and advantageously situated near the mouth of the river Bandon, anciently called the Glaslin or Glasson, which here forms a capacious and secure harbour. The streets rise in a singular and irregular manner on the acclivity of an eminence called Compass Hill, the houses ranging tier above tier, most of them on sites excavated in the solid rock, or placed on the level of some projecting crag; the descent is dangerously steep, and they are inaccessible to carriages except from the summit of the hill, or from the main street, which takes an irregular course along the shore of the harbour. The total number of houses, of which many are well built and of hand some appearance, including the village of Scilly, was, in 1831, 1266. The town is indifferently paved, but amply supplied with good water from numerous springs. It is much frequented during the season for sea-bathing, and several villas and handsome cottages have been built in the village of Scully and in the Cove, for the accommodation of vis itors. It is in contemplation to build a bridge across the ferry on the river, from the town to Courcy’s territory; and a new line of road to Bandon has been completed as far as Whitecastle, within two miles of this place. The environs embrace some fine views of the sea, the harbour, and the estuaries which indent the adjacent country; the banks of the river are embellished with thriving plantations and with several gentlemen’s seats; and around the summit of Compass Hill is a pleasant walk, commanding a splendid view of the harbour and the windings of the Bandon. On the east of the town is Charles Fort, commanded by a governor and fort-major, and containing barracks for 16 officers and 332 non-commissioned officers and privates. There are two small libraries, supported by proprietaries of ,£5 shareholders and annual subscribers; a regatta is held in July or August, which is well attended, and boat races take place occasionally. A handsome suite of assembly-rooms has recently been built, and on the ground floor of the same building is a reading and newsroom. The trade of the port, from its proximity to that of Cork, is but inconsiderable in proportion to its local advantages; it consists chiefly in the export of agricultural produce, and the import of timber from British America, and coal, iron, and salt from England and Wales. The number of vessels that entered inwards from foreign parts, during the year 1835, was five, of the aggregate burden of 1062 tons, and one only cleared outwards with passengers; in the coasting trade, during the same year, 62 vessels, of the aggregate burden of 12,753 tons, entered inwards and 34, of the aggregate burden of 5201 tons, cleared outwards. The staple trade is the fishery, in which 87 small vessels or large boats, called hookers, of the aggregate burden of 1300 tons, are constantly employed, exclu sively of several smaller boats. Sprats and herrings are taken in seins within the harbour and bay, as far as the Old Head; haddock, mackerel, turbot, gurnet, cod, ling, hake, and larger fish in the open sea; and salmon in almost every part of the river. The value of the fishery is estimated, on an average, at £30,000 per ann.; the Kinsale fishermen have long been noted for the goodness of their boats and their excellent seamanship: their services in supplying the markets of Cork and other neighbouring towns, and their skill as pilots, procured for them exemption from impressment during the last war. The harbour consists of the circling reach of the river and a broad inlet which separates the town from the village of Scilly; and though much less extensive than that of Cork, is deep, secure, and compact, being completely land-locked by lofty hills. It is defended by Charles Fort, nearly abreast of which is a bar having only 12 feet of water at low spring tides. The entrance is marked by two lofty lights, one in Charles Fort for the use of the harbour, a small fixed light, elevated 98 feet above high water mark and visible at the distance of 23 nautical miles. Vessels arriving at low water and drawing more than 11 feet must wait the rising of the tide before they can proceed across the bar. The most usual anchorage is off the village of Cove, about a cable’s length from the shore; but there is water enough for the largest ships anywhere in the channel of the river, which lies close along the eastern shore up to the town. The river Bandon is navigable for vessels of 200 tons to Colliers’ quay, 12 miles above the town. At Old Head is a coastguard station, which is the head of the district of Kinsale, including those of Upper Cove, Oyster Haven, Old Head, How’s Strand, Court-McSherry, Barry’s Cove, Dunny Cove, and Dirk Cove, comprising a force of 8 officers and 63 men, under the superintendence of a resident inspecting com mander. The inhabitants, in anticipation of assistance from Govern ment, subscribed £4000 towards the erection of a bridge over the Bandon, the expense of which is estimated at £9000; but their application has not been successful. The erection of a bridge at this place would open in a direct line the whole of the western coast as far as Baltimore, comprehending 180,000 acres of a rich agricultural district, and greatly promote the trade of the port and the prosperity of the town, which has suffered greatly by the removal of the dock-yard and other public establishments. In the town is a large ale-brewery and malting establishment; and in the neighbourhood are several large flour-mills. The markets are on Wednesday and Saturday; and fairs are held on May 4th, Sept. 4th, and Nov. 2 1st, for horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, farming utensils, friezes, coarse flannels, and other articles. Two mails from Cork and one from Bandon pass daily through Kinsale. A chief constabulary police force is stationed in the town.
The charter of incorporation granted by Edw. III. was confirmed and extended by subsequent sovereigns to the time of Elizabeth, who by patent dated May 10th, in the 31st year of her reign, confirmed all former privileges and possessions, extended the limits of the corporate jurisdiction, gave the sovereign and commons the authority of admiral, searcher, and gauger, from the Old Head to the Durseys; constituted the sovereign, recorder, and two of the ancient burgesses justices of the peace and of gaol delivery; and granted markets on Wednesday and Fri day, and a fair on St. Bartholomew’s day and for three days after. This charter, upon which the corporation acts and regulates its proceedings, was, together with all preceding charters, ratified by Jas. I., who, in 1609, confirmed to the sovereign and commons all their rights, liberties, and possessions, excepting only the sovereign’s appointment of admiral, which he transferred to the constable of the fortress of Castle- ni-Park; and on account of their sufferings from the Spanish invasion, granted them an annual rent of 20 for 21 years, which was in part subsequently continued. In the 19th of that reign a charter was granted incorporating a mayor, two constables, and merchants of the staple, with the same privileges as were granted to Youghal. All subsequent grants have been merely fairs or pecuniary aids, with the exception of a new charter byjas. II., in 1688, which did not continue in force. The corporation at present consists of a sovereign and an indefinite number of burgesses and freemen, assisted by a common-speaker, recorder, town-clerk (who is also clerk of the crown and peace), chamberlain, two serjeants-at-mace, a water-bailiff, and other officers. The sovereign and all other officers of the corporation are elected by the court of D’Oyer Hundred, consisting of the members of the corporation gen erally; and the burgesses and freemen are chosen solely by the council, which consists of the sovereign, common-speaker, and burgesses. The sovereign, who is a justice of the peace for the borough, is chosen annually on the 29th of June and sworn into office on the 29th of September; and the other officers, as vacancies occur, on the first Monday after Michaelmas-day. It is not known exactly at what time the borough first exercised the elective franchise, but it returned two members to parliament long prior to 1652, and continued to do so without interruption till the Union, since which time it has returned only one to the Imperial parliament. The right of election, previously vested in the corporation, was, by the act of the 2nd of Wm. IV, cap. 88, extended to the £10 householders and limited to the resident freemen; the total number of registered electors up to June 1st, 1837, was 224, of whom 192 were 10 householders, and 32 freemen; the sovereign is the returning officer. The borough and liberties comprise an area of 11,000 acres, within the jurisdiction of the borough magistrates; a new elec toral boundary has been drawn close round the town, including the village of Scilly, and comprising an area of 273 acres, the limits of which are minutely described in the Appendix. By the act of the 59th of Geo. III., cap. 84, the borough and liberties, for the purposes of county tax ation, were constituted a distinct barony. The corporation holds a court of record before the sovereign and recorder, or either of them, for the determination of pleas to any amount within the town and liberties, which extend up the Bandon river above Innishannon, eastward to Oyster haven, and westward to every harbour, bay, and creek as far as Dursey island. Sessions are held twice in the year before the sovereign, recorder, and two associate justices selected from the elder burgesses, with exclusive jurisdiction in all cases not capital; and a court of con science is held every Wednesday before the sovereign, for the recovery of debts under 40s. late currency. The town-hall is a spacious and neat building, commodiously adapted to the public business of the corporation, and for holding the courts of record and session. The borough gaol is also commodious and well adapted to the classification of the prisoners.
The borough comprises the whole of the parish of Kinsale or St. Multose, and a small portion of the parish of Rincurran. The former contains only 234 acres, principally in demesnes; the scenery is highly interesting and strikingly diversified. The chief seats are Garretstown, that of T. Cuthbert Kearney, Esq.; Ballymartle, of W. Meade; Rath more, of J. R. Cramer, Esq.; Knockduffe, of Lieut.-Gen. Sir T. Brown, G. C. B.; Snugmore, of C. Newenham, Esq.; Heathfield, of H. Bastable, Esq.; Fort Arthur, of W. Galway, Esq.; Nohoval glebe house, of the Rev. W. R. Townsend, Esq.; Knockrobbin, of Capt. Bolton; Pallastown, of S. Townsend, Esq., and the glebe-house, of the Rev. J. T. Browne. The living is a vicarage, in the diocese of Cork, and in the patronage of the Bishop; the rectory is impropriate in T. C. Kearney, Esq. The tithes amount to £33. 2. 6., half payable to the impropriator, and half to the vicar, whose income is augmented by an assessment for minister’s money, at present amounting to £87. The glebe-house, which is near the church, was built by a gift of £400 and a loan of £360 from the late Board of First Fruits, in 1812. The glebe, situated on the western side of the town, comprises 3 acres. The church, dedicated to St. Multosia, by whom it is said to have been erected in the 14th century; as the conventual church of a monastery which she had founded, is a spacious and venerable cruciform structure, for the repairs and enlargement of which, now in progress, the Ecclesiastical Commissioners have granted £1361. It contains two handsome monuments of Italian marble; one to various members of the Southwell family, settled here in the reign of Chas I.; the other, which is beautifully executed, to the memory of Catharine, relict of Sir John Perceval, Bart., and of the same family: there is also a hand some monument of white marble to Capt. T. Lawrence and his lady, erected in 1724, with their armorial bearings. In the R. C. divisions the parish is the head of a union, comprising also the parishes of Rincurran, Dunderrow, and Teighsasson or Taxax. The chapel is a spacious edifice, erected in 1834, by subscription, and has an altar-piece embellished with paintings of the principal events in the life of Christ; there is a small chapel belonging to the Carmelite friary, also a chapel at Bal linamona. There are places of worship for Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists. Nearly 600 children are taught in six public schools, of which the grammar school has an endowment partly by the corporation, and partly by the family of De Clifford, of King’s-Weston, in the county of Gloucester, producing a salary of £50 for the master, who has also a large house, play-ground, and garden given by the Southwell family. A fever hospital and dispensary have been established; an institution called the Gift House, in which eight widows of decayed Protestant tradesmen receive a weekly allowance of two shillings, is supported by the Southwell family; and there is an ancient parochial almshouse, containing 16 rooms for superannuated poor, each of whom receives a portion of the weekly contributions at the church. There were formerly an abbey of canons regular, of which Colgan says St. Gobban, disciple of St. Ailbe, was abbot in the 7th century; and an abbey of Carmelite friars, founded and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary by Robert Fitz-Richard Balrain, in 1334; but there are no remains of either. On the promontory on the opposite side of the river are extensive remains of the old fortress of Castle-ni-Park: it was of hexagonal form, with bastions at the angles: the tower, intrenchments, and fosse are nearly entire. Of the town walls, which were destroyed in 1690, three of the gates were remaining till near the close of the last century; Nicholas gate was removed in 1794, Friars gate in 1796, and Cork gate in 1805; a small portion of the last may still be seen on the north side of Cork-street; and in Newman-place may be traced the only portion of the walls now remaining. Near the village of Scilly, and also near Charles Fort, are valuable chalybeate springs, formerly much resorted to, and still generally regarded as an excellent tonic. This place gives the very ancient title of Baron Kingsale to the family of De Courcy, originally created in 1181. His lordship is Premier Baron of Ireland; he has the privilege (granted by King John to De Courcy, Earl of Ulster,) of wearing his hat in the royal presence, which was asserted by the late John, Baron Kingsale, at Dublin castle, before his late Majesty Geo. IV, on his visit to Ireland in Aug. 1821. He has also the privilege of having a cover laid for him at the royal table at coronations, and on all other state occasions.
1837 RINCURRAN – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary - RINCURRAN, a parish, partly in the barony of KINNALEA, but chiefly in that of KINSALE, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER; containing, with part of the town of Kinsale, 3758 inhabitants. This place was the scene of some sharp conflicts while the Spaniards held possession of the town of Kinsale in 1600; the castle of Rincurran was besieged by Sir George Carew in person, and defended by a garrison under a Spanish commander, who made repeated offers to surrender upon terms. Sir George refusing these terms, and insist ing on an unconditional surrender, the commander resolved to blow up the fortress, but the garrison compelled him to yield, and in com pliment to his gallantry he was permitted to wear his sword and to deliver it into the hands of Sir George himself. In 1656 the castle was demolished by order of Cromwell, and in 1670, another was erected on its site by the Duke of Ormonde, at an expense of £75,000, and named Charles Fort in honour of Chas. II. It contains platforms for 75 pieces of cannon, of which only 35 are now mounted, with accom modations for the staff, barracks for 400 men, an armoury, and two bomb-proof magazines; it completely commands the harbour of Kin- sale, and is strongly garrisoned under the superintendence of a gover nor and fort major.
The parish, which is bounded on the south by the harbour of Kinsale, and on the east by Oyster haven, comprises 5186 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at £5511 per annum. The land is of medium quality; about four-fifths are under tillage; the sys tem of agriculture is improved; about 150 acres of marsh have been recently brought into cultivation, and there is neither waste land nor bog. Rathmore, the seat of J. Thos. Cramer, Esq., is a handsome mansion embosomed in flourishing plantations and finely situated on the peninsula between the harbour of Kinsale and Oyster haven. Knuck duve, the seat of Lieut-Gen. Sir Thos. Brown, K. C. H., is beautifully situated above Oyster haven, and commands from different parts of the grounds a variety of picturesque and interesting views. There are also, in the parish, Long Quays, the residence of the Rev. J. B. Creagh; Cove Cottage, of J. Daunt, Esq.; Snugmore, of C. Newenham, Esq.; Harbour Hill, of A. Dorman, Esq.; Cove House, of Major Heard; and Heathfield, of H. Bastable, Esq. Scilly and [Summer]Cove, two small villages in this parish, are much frequented during the bathing season, and con tain some modern villas and handsome lodges, which are occupied by gentry from various parts of the country. A regatta is held generally in July or August, and a race-course has been completed by subscription, on which races are held after the regatta. An extensive and lucrative fishery is carried on at both villages, affording employment to more than 200 men. The living is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cork, and in the patronage of the Crown: the tithes amount to £461. 10. 9 ½ the glebe comprises 3 acres. The church is a small neat edifice with a square tower, and being situated on an eminence, serves as a conspicuous landmark for mariners. In the R. C. divisions the parish forms part of the union of Kinsale. About 50 children are taught in the parochial school, which is supported by the rector, who also main tains a Sunday school. There are numerous remains of forts and intrenchments, but not a vestige of the old castle: the ruins of the old church have disappeared, but the cemetery is still used. Along the shore near Cove and Scully are several chalybeate springs, but not much used.
1837 SCILLY – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary - SCILLY, a village, in the parish of RINCURRAN, barony of KIN- SALE, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, forming a suburb to the town of Kinsale; containing 814 inhabitants. It is situated on the harbour of Kinsale, and occupies the summit and side of a gentle eminence forming a peninsula projecting into the harbour. In 1831 it contained 124 houses, since which period it has rapidly increased, and now contains nearly 200 houses, including a number of neat and commodious villas and lodges, erected for the accommodation of the numerous visitors resorting hither during the bathing season. It is so closely connected with Kinsale that it is generally considered as a part of that town. An extensive and lucrative fishery, affording employ ment to a large portion of the inhabitants, is carried on here. Immediately above the village are the barracks of Kinsale.
1837 SUMMERCOVE – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary COVE, or SUMMERCOVE, a village, in the parish of RINCURRAN, barony of KINSALE, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 1 mile (E.) from Kinsale; containing 446 inhabitants. This village is beautifully situated on the harbour of Kinsale, and consists of neatly built houses, among which are several commodi ous villas and lodges for the accommodation of the numerous visitors from various parts of the country that frequent this place during the summer for the benefit of sea-bathing. An extensive fishery is carried on, and affords employment to a large portion of the inhab itants. A_n annual regatta is held in July or August, and a racecourse has been formed in the vicinity by subscription, where races are held after the regatta. In the village are the male and female parochial schools, established by the rector in 1829, in connection with the Cork Diocesan Association: the rector also provides a house, rent-free, for the master. Above the village is the church of Rincurran, a beautiful and conspicuous object; and in the vicinity is the extensive garrison of Charlesfort.
1837 TISAXON – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary - TEIGHSASSON, TY-SASSION, or TAXAX, also called TISASSON, a parish, in the barony of KINSALE, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 2 miles (W.N.W) from Kinsale, on the north side of the river Bandon; containing 535 inhabitants. This parish, the name of which signifies “the Englishman’s House,” comprises 1320 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act; the soil is extremely light, and, under a good system of cultivation and by the constant application of large quantities of sea sand brought hither from the bay of Kinsale and landed at the small quays in the parish made for that purpose, produces good crops: the land is deemed valuable in consequence of its prox imity to Kinsale and the facilities for procuring manure. The principal seats are Teighsasson House, the residence of J. Cunimins, Esq.; Bal lywilliam, of B. Barter, Esq.; Hollyhill, of C Newman, Esq.; Ballinvolig, of Mrs. Collis; and Ballinacurra House, of J. Bleazby, Esq. The living is a rectory; in the diocese of Cork, and in the patronage of the Crown: the tithes amount to £105. In the R. C. divisions the parish is part of the union of Kinsale. A small creek, which separates this parish from that of Clontead, penetrates a considerable distance into the land: on its southern bank are the ruins of the ancient church; and not far distant are those of White castle, which was built by the Roches in 1497, to command the landing-place, and gives name to the creek and the small village adjoining.

In an impoverished town, looking for relief to the Repeal of the Union, and under the heavy expense of our Chapel, it is no unworthy testimony of our dutiful feeling to the Father of our Country. You will please acknowledge it with the accompanying list. Yours very sincerely, - JUSTIN F. M’NAMARA - Kinsale, July 11 1844 (July 11, 1844 seems to be a misprint as the list was published in ‘The Cork Examiner’ on the 12th of January, 1844.)

Wheeler, John(CE 18/3/1844) - ‘INQUEST – An Inquest was held on Saturday at the Bridewell before Mr. Coroner Jones, on view of the body of John Driscoll, a sailor, who was drowned in the river Lee, near the Custom House. By the evidence it appeared that deceased was a sailor on board the Elizabeth of Baltimore, and was from the town of Kinsale, being about 28 years of age, and married. On the previous evening, Friday, about half past four o clock, the vessel was dropping down the channel, and when opposite the Custom House, the yards having come into contact with the roof of that building, the deceased got into a small boat with another man, for the purpose of fastening a rope to one of the rings fixed in the Quay, and when doing so, the Captain said to deceased, who evidently had taken some drink, that he had no business there, he appeared so stupid and giddy. In a moment afterwards deceased, who then had one leg on the gunwale, fell head-foremost into the river, and did not rise for several minutes; in the mean time the alarm being given a boat was brought to his assistance, but was under such way, that just as the deceased rose to the surface, it went over him and he rose no more. The body was taken up with grappling iron in a comparatively short time, but although medical aid was brought, it availed not – the vital spark had fled. Verdict – Accidental death.’
(CE 18/3/1844) - ‘The ‘Forester’, schooner of Kinsale, laden with coals from Newport, Capt. Long, master, has been thrown ashore within the bar at Youghal. By the humane exertions of the people who came to their assistance, the crew were saved from a watery grave, at the hour of 11 on the night of Saturday, while it blew a terrible gale. The vessel had made her way into the channel where she let fall her anchor, but it was soon torn away again by the violence of the storm. The Youghal life-boat, which put out, missed her in the darkness of the night, and was herself thrown ashore at the Warren, a distance of about threee miles from where the vessel was wrecked, with the men, however, safe. The Forester is at this moment ( 4 o clock Sunday), on the south shore of the harbour, covered above deck with water. As the gale is subsiding there is every likekihood she will be got off without going altogether to pieces.’

(CE 12/8/1845) – KINSALE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY - The first exhibition of this description which has been held in Kinsale, took place yesterday at the Bowling-green. For weeks previous nothing has been spoken of in coterie and assembly but the intended exhibition, which promised to afford a great treat to the good folk of the town and neighbourhood. It is rather strange that such a Society had not been previously established, particularly so, as many of the surrounding gentry were not alone large contributors to the Cork and Bandon Horticultural exhibitions, but on most occasions succeeded in carrying away the greatest number of prizes. At length those gentlemen determined on forming a local society, which should compete with Bandon and Cork, and yesterday’s exhibition was the result of their exertions. There was a large marquee, erected on the Green, at either end of which temporary flag-staffs were rigged, from whose summits gaily floated the Union Jack, and other flags, the property of the Yacht Club, and in which the flowers for exhibition were arranged. – But though it was of large dimensions it was not sufficient to hold all the specimens sent in for competition, which consequently had to be ranged on the green sward. The collections of green, hot-house and garden plants, as well as fruits and vegetables, though of course not as numerous as we are accustomed to see in Cork, could not be surpassed for size, richness, and variety of colour. On the whole, the exhibition promised well for the future success of this society. A large and fashionable crowd of visitors were present during the day, who were not alone delighted by the exhibition, but were also regaled by a banquet of sweet sounds, from the Band of the 7th Fusiliers. We should not forget to mention that the judges on the occasion were Messrs. Haycroft and Bradford of Cork; and it is almost needless to say, that their decisions were not alone unquestioned, but were deemed most impartial and satisfactory. - The following gentlemen formed the Committee of management:- John J. Shaw, Esq.; Rev. Joshua B. Ryder; Wm. R. Meade, Esq.; Marmaduke C. Cramer, Esq.; Rev. J. B. Webb; Rev. J. Meade; Thos. W. Knolles; and Rev. Wm.

GRAND BALL AND SUPPER – This event, which was under the especial patronage of the Kinsale Horticultural Society, took place last night in the Assembly Rooms, Kinsale. The rooms were very tastefully decorated, and brilliantly lighted by three massive and beautifully wrought bronze chandeliers, as well as numerous wax lights. The excellent band of the 7th Fusileers, together with a quadrille band from Cork, were in attendance. About ten o clock the company, comprising officers of the Navy and Army, and many of the elite of the country began to arrive, shortly after which dancing was commenced and continued until one o clock when all adjourned to the adjoining rooms, where an elegant repast was laid. After supper the company returned to the ball room, when dancing was once more resumed, and kept up with unabated spirit until three o clock in the morning, when all seperated. The Stewards were John I. Heard, Esq.; Major Alcock, 90th depot; Capt. Hume, 95th do; Wm. R. Meade, Esq.; Capt. Trowbridge, 6th Royal Fusileers; Thomas N. Knolles, Esq.; Marmaduke C. Cramer, Esq.
(CE 28/11/1845) – Marriage - Yesterday morning, by the Rev. Jeremiah O Brien, Mr. Charles M’Carthy of Kinsale, to Catherine, daughter of the late Mr. John Lynch of Barrack St.
____________________________________________________________________________________
SLATER’S DIRECTORY 1846 – KINSALE, WITH THE VILLAGES OF COVE (SUMMERCOVE) AND SCILLY
KINSALE, is a sea-port, parliamentary borough, and market town, in the parishes of St. Multose and Ringcurran, barony of Kinsale, county of Cork, 172 miles SW from Dublin, 12 ½ S from Cork and 11 ESE from Bandon; eligibly situated near the mouth of the river Bandon or Glasson, (as it was formerly called), which here forms a capacious and secure harbour, necessible in nearly all weathers, and navigable for vessels of any tonnage. The origin of this place, from its great antiquity, is by imperfectly known, and the derivation of its name is compassed by doubt. Cean Taile, signifying in Irish the ‘Headland in the Sea,’ is said to be its ancient appellation; it is also in some MSS, of a very early date called Fan-na-Tuabrid, of ‘the fall of the Springs.’ It was for several centuries the most important sea-port on the southern coast of Ireland, and consequently has sustained many fierce sieges. In the reign of Charles II, in 1670, the Earl of Orrery began a regular fort, to which the Duke of Ormonde gave the name of Charles Fort; this was finished at an expense of £70,000. It stands at some distance below the town, is very strong and completely commands the harbour, as ships must pass it within pistol shot. This fort and a commodious barrack near the town are capable of containing 2,000 men. When James II came over to Ireland from France, he landed at this port on the 12th March, 1688; but, notwithstanding the strength of the works, in the autumn of 1690, it was reduced by the Earl of Marlborough, who took the old fort by storm, the Irish governor being killed in the breach. The ruins of the old fort now form a very picturesque appearance from the public walks about the town. The streets rise in a singular and irregular manner, on the acclivity of an eminence, called Compass-hill, the houses ranging tier above tier, many of them on sites excavated in the solid rock, while others are perched on the level of some projecting crag; the descent is exceedingly precipitous, and the dwellings are inaccessible to carriages, except from the summit of the hill or from the Main-street, which takes a circuitous course along the shore of the harbour. Near the centre of the town, on an elevated situation, are assembly, reading and news rooms, and a beautiful public walk called the Bowling Green, ornamented with trees, and commanding a delightful view of the harbour and the villages of Cove and Scilly. There are baths, both hot and cold, and an excellent hotel - the latter, the ‘Royal George,’ situated on Long-quay. These attractions, together with the salubrity of the air, the cheapness of provisions, and the agreeable society which the place affords, render it, as it is, a place of fashionable resort during the summer months. The other public buildings, exclusive of those for divine worship, are the town-hall and gaol, a barrack for infantry, a union workhouse, a fever hospital and dispensary, and some public schools.
The port is too near Cork and Cove to posses a great amount of trade, but there are some establishments among the merchants and shipowners here of the first respectability and substance. The butter trade is one of some importance; malting is carried on to a good extent; there is a considerable brewery, and the ‘Inchy Mills’ and ‘Brown’s Mills’ for corn are large and powerful. The fishery is productive, and the fishermen are deemed the most expert of any in Ireland. Lobsters and oysters are taken here in abundance; the produce of the fishery is about £500 weekly. The exports of the port consist chiefly in agricultural produce; the imports comprise timber, from British America, and coal, iron, and salt from England and Wales. Kinsale received various grants and franchises from many of the monarchs of England, and some of the charters bestowed extensive judicial powers, all of which have been either abrogated by, or merged in the Municipal Act of Ireland, passed in the 9th of George IV, which vested the government of the borough in certain commissioners appointed for that purpose, and for paving and cleansing the town. From an early date the borough was represented in the Irish parliament, to the time of the Union, by two representatives, since which period it has returned only one to the Imperial parliament; the present member is William Henry Watson, of Wilton Crescent, London, Esquire. Kinsale confers the title of Baron on the ancient and noble family of De Courcey – the premier Baron of Ireland.
The parish church of Saint Multose, by whom it is said to have been erected in the fourteenth century as the conventual church of a monastery which she had founded, is a spacious cruciform structure, with a tower supporting a low spire. The arches are in the pointed style, and the aspect of the whole is venerable, but inelegant. Several of the ancestors of Lord de Clifford repose within the walls, The Roman Catholic chapel is very capacious, and the internal decorations are rich, and as a whole it ranks high as an ecclesiastical edifice. A convent of the Sisters of Mercy, and a Carmelite friary are established here; the chapel of the latter order is a substantial stone building. (Wesleyan Methodist Chapel, Higher street. Primitive Methodist Chapel, Main street.) Wednesday and Saturday are the chartered markets, but every day the town is supplied with abundance of all the necessaries of life. Fairs, May 4th, September 4th, and November 21st. The town and borough of Kinsale (including Cove, 352) contained, in 1841, 7,270 inhabitants.
COVE, or Summercove, is a village, in the parish of Ringcurran, forming a portion of the borough of Kinsale, beautifully situated on the banks of its harbour. It consists of well-built houses, among which are neat villas and lodges, for the accommodation of visitors that frequent this part in considerable numbers during the bathing season – at some time during which an annual regatta is held. Above the village is the church of Ringcurran, a pleasing and picturesque object, and in the vicinity is the extensive garrison of Charlesfort. Population, see Kinsale.
SCILLY is a village, likewise in the parish of Ringcurran, and in the borough of Kinsale, occupying the summit and acclivity of a gentle eminence, forming a peninsula, projecting into the harbour. Immediately above the village are the barracks of Kinsale. This place may be considered as a suburb to that town, so closely is it connected with it – indeed its population is returned therewith.
POST OFFICE, Market street, Kinsale, John Wadle, Post Master. – Letters from Dublin and all parts of Ireland, likewise from England, arrive every forenoon at ten minutes before eleven and evening at a quarter past six, and are despatched every morning at a quarter before eight and afternoon at half-past one.

(CC 30/6/1846) – A poor man named JEREMIAH HORGAN, a native of Kinsale, who, with his wife and child were transmitted to Ireland by a London steamer on Thursday by the Metropolitan Poor Law authorities, died on board on Friday of disease of the heart. He was interred in this city on Sunday evening.
____________________________________________________________________________________
(CE 5/3/1847) HARNESS MAKERS – A GENERAL WORKMAN at the above Business with FIND EMPLOYMENT on application to Mr. JAMES BLACK. Testimonials of character, &c., &c., will be required. Kinsale, 5th March, 1847.
(CE 28/7/1847) TO THE EDITOR OF THE CORK EXAMINER - Kinsale, July 24th, 1847 - SIR – Having seen this morning in your last publication an article on Kinsale, by which it appears you have …. Information respecting the state of the parties here, but as you express a desire to have more, I beg to tender you the following, respecting Mr. Watson’s canvass:- He was asked in many cases, if he were a Repealer, and he of course replied in the negative; he was told by sum they would not vote for him if a Repealer came, and by others, they would not vote for any one BUT A REPEALER. These, I regret, were the fewest. At that time one Conservative candidate was in the field, nor (on Saturday), the first day of his canvass, was there any expectation of their being one, until the arrival of the mail on that evening when it was announced that Mr. Guinness of Dublin, would be here on Tuesday. This was still looked on as doubtful, but on Monday it provied true.
However, had one not come at all, I fear it was determined by the leading Repealers here to allow Mr. Watson to walk over, although, in the absence of a Conservative, many Conservatives would have voted for a Repealer, and his success over Mr. Watson even without this support was unquestionable, in the mind of any honest man. But unfortunately for the character of our town, we had not met one Repealer of respectability and sufficient independence to come forward and propose its redemption, although, as appears by the enclosed, there ought to be many such persons amongst us. With respect to this list, I can positively state that every name with the exception of the fourth are electors (and he is a young man of much respectability and usefulness to any cause he may attach himself to) [Kennefick, Martin, Wine and Spirit Merchant] and are enrolled as members and associated on the books of the Repeal Association, in July 1844, whilst many other electors are also Repealers, though not enrolled from the fact of their not being residents at the time the last collection was made in ’44. Since then I am confident no change has taken place in their principles, though they did not enrol themselves in the succeeding years; for which I account as follows: the absence of our late lamented Parish Priest – The death of our high-minded and vituous patriot, P. O Donovan – then the death of ‘Father Macnamara’, and the gloom which it threw over us – The unfortunate differences in Concilliation Hall – The distress of the country, and last though not least fatal, the bestowing a few Whig favours amongst us. These prevented them from still publically avowing their principles as before. But if at the same time some of our leading Repealers, (some of these I mean who proposed the introduction of Mr. Watson as a candidate) were to propose a Repealer, I can assure you that the landlord and the employer would not succeed in forcing a Whig on the people of Kinsale without consulting them. At the hole-and-corner meeting where it was proposed to support Mr. Watson were neither of these gentlemen; every induvidual, about 40 in number, of the meeting, were repeal electors, yes, I openly state it, and challenge denial, that there was not a Whig amongst them, and yet Mr. Watson was proposed. I went to the meeting, and was compelled by the Chairman to have the meeting on the sole and only ground of not being an ELECTOR OR A VOTER. Had I said anything offensive, had I even suggested the object of going there and persisted in the proposition of introducing a Repealer in opposition to the wishes of the meeting; there may have been some justifcation for ordering me out; but no, sir, not one word was uttered by me; and not one syllable spoken, until I was unceremoniously ordered to leave the room, without any cause assigned but that of not being an elector, whilst such deficiency did not disqualify me to act as the gratuitous Secretary of the ‘Repeal Reading Room’ until its dissolution. The worthy gentleman should have remembered he was not in the full possession of that trust , the non-possession of which was the ground stated for my withdrawing. He should have remembered also, that the young gentleman whom the advertisements state to be the person proposing Mr. Watson to the assembled electors, is one whose legal right to vote is questionable on the grounds of joint-tenancy with his brother, he having been rejected on his application to register out of the same presmies before the Barrister in September 1846.
These are curious facts; but not less true. I should have told you this same young gentleman’s step-brother was appointed to a Clerkship in ‘Somerset House,’ a few months since, through Mr. Watson’s influence, and the elector who was sent round to call the meeting, is the Registering Officer of the Repealers of Kinsale. But the Son got a ‘Guagership’ from Mr. Watson, a few weeks since. This same £6 elector was one of the ‘three active Repealers’ mentioned in Mr. Molloy’s report to the Repeal Association in November 1845, showing the probabilty of returning a Repealer for Kinsale. I was another of them.
I cannot blind myself, I assure you, as I have done before; if a contest is to be between a Whig and a Tory here, nothing but money will decide; perjury and all its … evils will follow, and I fear, increase the vengeance of a just God. The influence of Mr. Macnamara is lost, and no one knows to what extent it will be carried on; a few days will tell.
Better, a thousand times better to be defeated by either party, than that honest men should join with either of those who are determined to sell their country. At present I fear there is no rememdy, at least, no chance, of a Repealer being returned by their votes, unless he were able and etermined to try a petition. But, why, I ask myself, should he ‘waste his sweetness in such a desert?’ One good he would do by coming, that is save many a soul now on the road to destruction. Oh! Would not defeat with ‘Austey.’ Be more glorious than the shout of victory commingled with perjury and bribery? This, Sir, you will say, is an awful picture if true; doubt it and find it to be false them brand me as the assassin of my fellow-townsmen’s character; but if you believe it, come to the rescue of vitrue and patriotism from prostitution. For speaking in this way I am by some interested persons demeaned and charged with being a ‘Tory, but an approving conscience and the remembrance of my former consistency are sufficiently consoling to me. I understand that presentation have been made to you respecting me, so as to prevent your noticing any communication from me. However, I am glad to have it in my power to submit the enclosed (valuable to me) though at the same time simple proofs of my consistency. I merely forward them as evidence against any unfavourable impressions made on your mind respecting me. I beg leave also to add, that in the year 1841, I was appointed through the influence of the Hon. F. H. F. Berkeley, MP., (unsought for) to a situation in the Customs at Bristol, worth aboyt £100 per year; for some little part I took in their election, and .. the same in 184.., through taking some part in Repeal in that city, the particulars of which are well known ….. My Brother was about the same time appointed to a Guagership through Mr. Watson’s influence, which he still retains, and some of the worthies here see all my crimes in the ingratitude of not supporting Mr. Watson in this present contest. Indeed, if I were to study my own .. rest and barter my principles, I too may be honoured by Mr. Watson with a Guagership, or some other sweet … But to me is – ‘Far dearer the grave or the prison - Illum’d by one patriot’s name, - Than the trophies of all that has risen - From liberty’s ruins to fame.’
I beg to inform you that I felt it my duty to Mr. Watson previous to him coming here, to write to him, and pointed out the evils of a contested election here between him and a Conservative, at the same time, giving him my name, &c., &c.; so he can have but little excuse for the evils he will bring on.
I beg now, sir, to state to you the numerical strength of the parties in Kinsale. There are 216 electors qualified to vote; 70 are sound Conservatives, but there is a split among them; 30 more are Conservative, but must get money for their votes, which of course they will get from their own party; the remaining 116 may be classified as follow:- Over 80 of them are sure Repealers, if a Repealer came here first; but many of them are pledged to ‘Watson.’ There are about 12 under the infliecne of the two Whig gentlemen, and the remainder are hunting for money; I fear now that some of the 80 Repealers will fall from their virtue, but on the heads of those who will be the cause of it let justice fall. It is not Repealers alone who are splitting the interest of the Liberal Electors; it is the two aristocratic Whigs, with the assistance of a few leading Repealers, that have done so. Better I say again be defeted by another party with virtue, than be victors with perjury and bribery encouraged.
Pardon me for this very long letter, I do not intend it for the Press, but merely send it to you as a correst state of things practised here – deny it who may. You are at liberty to use it any way you think proper. My name is also at your service. - Whilst I remain your sincere admirer, TIMOTHY O FLYNN - The following ‘Kinsale Electors’ paid the amount opposite their names to the Loyal National Repeal Association on the 1st July, 1844:-

(CE 20/9/1847) KINSALE ELECTION - Kinsale, Sept.18th, 1847 - WE, the undersigned Roman Catholic Electors of the Borough of Kinsale, having seen in the Cork Examiner Newspaper of the 15th Inst.,a Letter signed D. MUPRHY, DD, PP, our Parish Priest, in which he asserts, ‘that Twenty Liberal Voters who had pledged themselves at the time of his Canvass to support MR. WATSON, were converted by magic from their evil ways,’ and believing this assertion is meant to apply to us, the only Roman Catholics who voted for MR. GUINNESS, we hereby declare, in the most solemn manner, that we did not at any time during MR. WATSON’S canvass, promise to vote for him, nor did mean to vote for him, on the contrary some of us plainly told him, that we would not support him, others of us kept out of the way of being seen by him, and we feel confident that MR. WATSON himself, if appealed to, will admit such to be the fact. We also take this oppurtunity of asserting in the most solemn manner, that we voted for MR. GUINNESS freely and cheerfully, and that we did not receive, nor were we promised money directly or indirectly, that we were not bribed, nor influenced in giving our votes to MR. GUINNESS and against MR.
