Place & story
Occasional sessions for Clonroad manor
Samuel Lewis recorded that a seneschal’s court met occasionally at Ballycorig for the manor of Clonroad in 1837. Its business included recovering small debts. In the same parish account he described a small quay at Ballycorig from which grain, butter and pork went to Limerick. The entry places legal business and agricultural trade in the same locality, without identifying a courthouse building or giving a fixed schedule for its sittings. [2]
