Excerpt from Recollections of an Irish Police Magistrate and Other Reminiscenses of the South of Ireland
A'r a moment when the horrors of agrarian outrage, 'and those of base assassination, threaten again to fill the South of Ireland with just terror - when not only has it been found necessary to send down a special commission to inspire terror and promptly bring the bloodthirsty offenders to justice; but, above all, when more than one grand jury have recorded their doubts respecting the efficiency of the present police system, it certainly cannot be an ill chosen opportunity to place before the public some accounts of those mis deeds which at a former period disgraced and paralysed the greater part of the province of Munster, and-which were then put down by the effective and strong exertions of the local magistrates, many of whom still live, and still possess the powers of their youth, powers which they would doubtless display, if properly called on to exhibit them. The gentlemen who now honourably hold the commission of the peace in Limerick, Clare, and Tip petary, are men of undoubted courage, energy, and intelligence. An appeal to them would at once arouse them and though (perhaps from personal attachment) I believe I never saw so clever, so wonderful an officer.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book captures the horrific violence and lawlessness of Ireland in the early 19th century through the eyes of Thomas Phillips Vokes, a bold and effective police magistrate. Vokes played a key role in combating the rampant crime and terrorizing activities of agrarian societies and gangs. The accounts in this book illuminate the complex social and political landscape of the time, marked by economic hardship, sectarian tensions, and a deep-rooted distrust of authority. The author presents a gripping narrative that explores the dangers and challenges faced by Vokes and his fellow magistrates as they navigate a treacherous landscape, often putting their own lives on the line to uphold the law. Through vivid descriptions and real-life anecdotes, the book sheds light on the strategies employed by Vokes, highlighting his bravery, intelligence and the innovative methods he developed to combat the organized crime of the period. Ultimately, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into a tumultuous era of Irish history, providing valuable insights into the evolution of policing and the ongoing struggle to maintain law and order in the face of adversity. Its examination of Vokes' methods and their lasting impact on Irish society makes it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this captivating period of history.
