A Fateful Document'The Murder Members' a single folio sheet, verso blank, stating The following are the names of the members of the Partition Parliament who voted for the Murder Bill, and listing 56 names in two columns, including W.T. Cosgrave, Desmond Fitzgerald, Richard Mulcahy, Michael Staines, Padraig O'Maille, Dr. James Crowley, Sean McKeon, Ernest Blythe, Sean Milroy, Sean McGarry, Joseph McGrath, Sir James Craig, Pierce Beasley, Kevin O'Higgins, Alec. McCabe, etc., and concluding 'Keep This List For Reference'. Beside the name of Dr. James Crowley, a contemporary hand has written Con's Doctor - presumably a reference to Constance de Markiewicz. (1)A fateful document. The Murder Bill, so-called, was an Act of the Free State parliament which authorised sentence of death upon those taken with arms. Soon after this document was issued, gunmen opened fire on Pádraig Ó Maille TD, deputy Speaker of the Dail, in a Dublin street while he was on his way to the Dail with another TD, Sean Hales, Ó Máille was wounded, and Hales - whose name is not on this list - was shot dead, apparently in mistake for another. In reprisal for these shootings, and in fear for their own lives, the Free State cabinet ordered the summary execution of four Republican prisoners detained since the seizure of the Four Courts, Rory O'Connor, Liam Mellows, Dick Barrett and Joseph McKelvey, entirely without any legal process or justification. The present document is very rare. Fold marks, a few minor marginal tears, else v.g.  (1)

Excessively Rare Limerick Civil War Journal A Complete File Co. Limerick: Sgeala Chatha Luimnighe (Limerick War News), later Sgeala Chatha (South-Western Command War News). Vol. 1 No. 1, Friday 14th July 1922, to Vol. III NO. XVI, 7th October 1922. Altogether 73 issues, apparently a complete file, small quarto and folio, as follows: Vol. 1 Nos. 1 - 27, (with two issues of no. 27); Vol. 2 Nos. 1 - 25, with first and second editions of Nos. 4, 9 & 19; Vol. 3 Nos. 1 - 16, with an unnumbered edition (dated 'October') between Nos. 13 and 14. Early issues 2pp (single sheet printed both sides); later issues 4pp. Bound in 2 vols. green boards, sm. quarto and folio. One issue loosely inserted in Vol. 1. * This is probably the rarest of all Civil War Journals. We have found no record of anything approaching a complete file in any major library, and even single copies are extremely rare. No printer is recorded. The journal was issued by the Free State military authorities, and the content reflects their views. It includes issues marking the deaths of Arthur Griffith (Vol. 2 No. 7) and Michael Collins (Vol. 2 No. 9 and succeeding issues), and includes many arresting poster-type pages, evidently intended to be posted in public. Vol. 1 No. 26 reproduced a photograph of Erskine Childers, in British uniform 'in his Imperial phase,' accusing him of 'a great deal of responsibility for the present tragic events.' The next issues (12 August, Vol. 1 No. 27) records the taking of Clonmel. There are two copies of this issue, one evidently a second edition which also records that Cork has fallen. These issues allow us to follow the progress of the Civil War in the South in great detail. Vol. 1 No. 17 records that Tipperary. Kilrush and Kilkee have been captured (by the Free State); Vol. 1 No. 18 accuses the Irregulars of a 'Shoot, loot & scoot: policy;' Vol. 1 No. 19 states we are 'Nearing the End;' Vol. 1 No. 20 includes General O'Duffy's Proclamation ordering troops to fire on anyone destroying public or private property; Vol. 1 No. 23 claims 'Nine Towns Fall, Big Dublin Coup'; Vol. 1 No. 26 profiles Collins as an Irish hero; Vol. 2 No. 3 says 'Ireland today a mourning nation' (for Griffith), and records 'Kerry clear, Killarney Captured by the Troops.' Collins' death is in a Stop Press column in a second edition of Vol. 2 No. 9, and the next six issues have much about him. Vol. 2 No. 17 says No: to 'an armed junta, led by Englishmen, and the sons of Englishmen.' which 'threatens the very life of the Irish Nation.' Vol. 2 No. 23 claims there is mutiny among the irregulars; Vol. 3 No. 6 records the capture of Sean Moylan, and accuses the 'Four Courts Camarilla' of being 'bombers of children.' Vol. 2 No. 8 describes events in Macroom as 'The work of friends.' An unnumbered issue after Vol. 3 No. 13 contains a Call to Arms; and the final issue present here, Vol. 3 No. 16, contains President Cosgrave's offer of amnesty to rebels giving up their arms. * A collection of great importance and interest, almost certainly a unique file, with the second and variant editions. Sold as a periodical, w.a.f. (1)

Album Presented by Maharajah to Cork-born Engineer, 1927 Photographs: [Calastry Sons, London & Madras] Photograph Album. Entitled ''A Souvenir of the Visit to Jeypore Samasthanam of His Excellency the Right Hon'ble Viscount Goschen of Hawkhurst, GCSI CBE VD, Governor of Madras, and The Viscountess Goschen, 14th December 1927'' With M/ss dedication ''To V. Hart Esq, Superintending Engineer, Madras. With the best compliments of Ramchandra, Maharajah of Jeypore.'' Oblong folio bound in green calf within brown paper wrappers, 23 x 31 cm. Gold tooled title. Marbled endpapers. 83 pp of photographs with printed captions. The photographs commemorate the visit in 1927 to the Zamindari (autonomous region) of Jeypore by the 2nd Viscount Goschen, Governor of Madras 1924-1929, and his wife, and their reception by the Maharajah Ramchandra Dev IV. Vincent Hart, to whom the album was presented, was born in Cork in 1881, trained at the Royal College of Engineering in London, and joined the Indian Public Works Department at Madras in 1903, becoming the Superintending Engineer in 1927. As Engineer-in-Chief he was responsible for the building of the Mettur Dam on the River Cauvery, at that time the biggest solid gravity dam in the world. In recognition of his work he was presented with the Companionship of the Star of India by King George V in 1935. He then retired to his house at Lotabeg on the Lower Glanmire Road, Cork, where he died in 1939. (1) Provenance: Lotabeg, Cork.
