Book Description

Excerpt from The Annesley Case Purists or patriots may conceivably demur to the inclusion in a series of English Trials of the Amesley Case, tried in Ireland. As the nature of the law and of its administration was not that of the Brehons, these ancient Hibernian jurists, but of the English Courts, it is hoped that the circumstances may plead in favour of the appearance of the case among English Trials. The law in Ireland during the eighteenth century was English, and the persons whose interests were at stake, the family of Annesley, were neither Irish speakers nor of Irish blood. The ease is loo curious to be omitted. The Editor owes much to the success of Miss E. M. Thompson, who discovered the hitherto unpublished affidavits of 1746: and desires to thank W. Roughead, Esq., XV. S., for his kindness in drawing up the chronology of the Annesley Case. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
