From The Cork Examiner 26 September 1919 --
CORK QUARTER SESSIONS
------
Licensing and Criminal Business
The Hon. the Recorder, K.C., took up the criminal and
licensing business of the above sessions yesterday. On the
Bench with his Honor were:--The Lord Mayor and the City
High Sheriff.
The following Grand Jury was sworn:--Messrs. Edward
Riordan (foreman), Michael Young, Martin Dalton, Alfred E.
Edwards, Lawson Ferguson, William Roche, Patrick F.
Scanlan, Robert H. Marsh, John Daly, Cleevehill; Michael
Ryan, Adelaide Terrace; James Hayes, Merchants Quay;
Wm. Heaslip, Wm. O'Donoghue.
Addressing the Jury, the Recorder said there were only five
cases to go before them. One was a case of obtaining the
unemployment grant by false pretences, and there was
another case against two men of malicious injury to property,
consisting of the smashing of furniture in a house. These were
two of the five, and the other three were ordinary larcenies.
The cases were all of a class with which they had been in the
habit of dealing and they would find no complexity about
them, but as there were only thirteen jurors sworn it would be
necessary on the back of the bills for the foreman and the
other jurors to sign their names.
The Grand Jury then retired, and mean time the long panel
was called over.
Transfers and confirmation of licenses were granted to the
following, there being no opposition:--
Margaret Ahern, 17, Devonshire street; William John
Cahill, 16, Prince's street; Nannie Carey, 25, North Main
street; Joseph Fitzgerald, 1, O'Connell street (new license);

Parnell Place; Kate Heffernan, 37 Bandon road; Briget
Hegarty, 49 Commons road; James Henchy, 40 and 41,

Lennox, 354, Blarney street; Philip J. Lynch, 16 Prince's
street; William J. Markham, 21, 22, 23, Prince's street;

street; Julia O'Regan, 145 Sunday's Well road; Ellen
