Product Description
A 1979 reprint, Mercier Press, of Maurice Healy's account ( originally published 1939) - - an account of law and law cases from when he would travel from town to town and courthouse to courthouse as part of the Munster Circuit Court.
Full of anecdotes and sketches of small time courthouse life, this was long out of print until Mercier ( themselves a Cork based publisher) reprinted it. The Old Munster Circuit, the legal memoirs of Maurice Healy, was first published in 1939 by Michael Joseph, and reappeared in several editions over the last 70 years. These memoirs affectionately describe the workings and people of the Munster Circuit, where Healy practised from 1910 to 1914. Healy was the son of the ( pre Independence MP) for Cork, and was the nephew of Tim Healy, the first Governor General of the Irish Free State.
According to Healy, ''The best talk in the world is to be heard in Cork....and I have told all I dared''
Heavy page tanning to the page block, foxing to pages throughout.
