| Description | Material relating to the Board of Trade inquiry into the loss of a Dublin Steam Packet Ship in 1873. Corrigan, probably at the instigation of his son William Corrigan a lawyer, interested himself in the question of an English Barristers standing in an Irish Court. In an English court and Irish barrister would only be heard if he was also a member of the English Bar, and Corrigan and his son thought the same rules should apply to English barristers in Irish Courts. This section contains Corrigan's correspondence on this issues with Chichester Parkinson-Fortescue, President of the Board of Trade, as well as letters to William Corrigan, and related notes and newspaper articles. |
