Book Description
Excerpt from The Power of Judges to Punish for Contempt of Court: As Exemplified by the Case of the High Sheriff of Dublin, 1882 It has been argued that Mr. Gray, as High Sheriff, was responsible for the care of the jury. N o doubt, he was nominally responsible; but was he criminally re sponsible He had been in London for days before the trial. As is shown by the correspondence between him and the judge (p. He had the judge's sanction for his absence. He spoke in the House of Commons on the Irish Postal Contract on the evening the jury was locked up, and did not return until after the jury were discharged. Nevertheless, Judge Lawson said more than once that he held Mr. Gray personally responsible for the care of the jury, although policemen and bailiffs were sworn by the court to take charge of them Mr. Gray was not in Dublin at all at the time. Some English journals have gone so far as to suggest that Mr. Gray, as Sheriff, connived at the selection of a special hotel, which they call a Land League hotel, in order to entrap the jury, and that the whole affair was a conspiracy.

Book Description
Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-1891) wrote remarkably little about himself, but he has attracted the attention of many writers, politicians, and scholars, both during his lifetime and ever since. His controversial and provocative role in Irish and British affairs had him vilified as a murderer in The Times, and afterwards dramatically vindicated by the Westminster Parliament. It cast him as a romantic hero to the young James Joyce, and a self-serving opportunist to the journalists of the Nation. Parnell has been the subject of court cases, parliamentary enquiries and debates, journalism, plays, poems, literary analysis and historical studies. For the first time all these have been collected, catalogued and cross-referenced in one volume, an invaluable resource for scholars of late nineteenth century Ireland and Britain. Divided into fifteen chapters, including a biographical sketch, the volume contains information on manuscript and archival collections, printed primary sources, Parnell's writing, Parnell's speeches in the House of Commons and outside Parliament, contemporary journalism, contemporary writing, and contemporary illustrations on Irish affairs, and a substantial list of scholarly work, including biographies, books, articles, chapters, and theses. This volume offers readers a clear record of the substantial material already available on Parnell, and in doing so offers resources to future research in this area.
