PIGOT’S DIRECTORY 1824 – RATHCORMAC
IN the county of Cork, is a small town near the river Bride, consisting of one street on the mail road to Dublin; from which it is 111 miles distant, 4 from Fermoy, and 13 ½ north of Cork. It contains a neat church, which is adorned with a spire and steeple, and a Catholic chapel of the Gothic order, which was erected in 1818. This place has enjoyed, since the Union, a patent for holding a market but it has not for some time availed itself of this privilege. In the vicinity stands Lisnegar, the seat of the present Lord Riversdale; this structure is now undergoing a thorough repair, and is receiving such improvements, as will render it fit for the reception of its noble proprietor, whose occasional residence here, it is anticipated, will ultimately tend to the benefit of a town, possessing in itself many local advantages. Three miles south are the ruins of Mount Catherine. A fair is held here on the 12th of August, and another on the 29th of October.

It is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cloyne, forming part of the union of Gortroe, into which parish it has entirely merged, and with which the tithes are returned. In the R. C. divisions it is in the union or district of Rathcormac. The schools and further details are noticed under the head of Gortroe.
GORTROE – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – GORTROE, a parish, in the barony of BARRYMORE, county of CORK, and pmvince of MUNSTER, 2 miles (S. by E.) from Rathcormac, on the road to Midleton; containing, with the parish of Desert, 2856 inhabitants; and comprising 8885 statute acres, as applotted under the tithe act, and valued at 6046 per annum: about 1500 acres are bog and mountain waste, the remainder arable and pasture; the soil is in general poor. The principal seats are Ballinterry, the residence of the Rev. Archdeacon Ryder; and Holly Hill, of S. Croker, Esq. It is a rectory and vicarage, in the diocese of Cloyne, united from an early period to the rectory and vicarage of Desert, forming the corps of the archdeaconrv of Cloyne, in the gift of the bishop: the tithes of the united parishes amount to 415. 7. 8. There is neither glebe-house nor glebe. The church was built in 1826. In the R. C. divisions it is part of the union or district of Rathcormac, and contains a chapel. There is a parochial school of about 20 children, to whom the rector contributes £5 annually, and a private school of about 60 children.
RATHCORMAC – Lewis’ Topographical Dictionary 1837 – RATHCORMAC, a market and post-town, (formerly a parliamentary borough), and a parish, in the barony of BARRYMORE, county of CORK, and province of MUNSTER, 14 miles (N.E.) from Cork, and 111 (S.W) from Dublin; containing 5143 inhabitants, of which number, 1574 are in the town, which is situated on the river Bride, and on the mail road from Cork to Dublin. It comprises one principal street with some smaller diverging from it, and consists of 244 houses, several of which are well built of stone. At the entrance from Cork are several picturesque cottages, erected by the Hon. Chas. L. Tonson. It is a constabulary police station, and the depot for the staff of the South Cork militia. The only manufacture carried on is that of leather by Mr. Wm. O’Connell, in whose tannery upwards of 10,000 hides, 32,500 calf-skins and 500 horse-skins are annually prepared for the markets of London, Bristol, Liverpool and Leeds. The manor mill, under the patent of Chas. II., has been rebuilt at an expense of £1500 by Mr. D. Cummins, and is capable of grinding 5000 bags of flour annually. A small market is held in the market-house on Saturday; and there are fairs, which are small and not well attended, on Aug. 12th, and Oct. 31st. Petty sessions are held on alternate Tuesdays, and the seneschal occasionally holds a manor court for the recovery of debts under 40s. The town was erected into a free borough by Chas. II., in 1682, and obtained the right of returning two members to the Irish parliament, the elective franchise being vested in the freeholders and inhabitants: it was disfranchised at the Union.
The parish comprises 12,984 statute acres, of which about one sixth is mountain and bog. The soil is very varied in character; in the lower parts it is good and under an excellent system of cultivation, but not more than half of the parish is under tillage: upwards of 2000 acres are rough mountain pasture, moor or turbary. The uplands form part of the hilly tract called Nagle’s mountains, which originate here and extend westward to the Bogra range. The eastern extremity of Nagle’s mountains, about three miles north of Rathcormac, is very lofty and appears as if it had been cut down vertically from the summit to the base: on its highest point is a large conical pile of stones, called Cairn-Thierna, “The Lord’s cairn or pile,” so named, according to some, from having been the place where the Tierna or chieftain assembled his followers and chose their leaders; or, according to others, from having been a place of pagan worship to the sun. This range is entirely of clay-slate: in the lower grounds limestone is very abun dant, particularly at Ballyvarry; much of the mountain tract, hitherto uncultivated, is reclaimable; and the bog, from which the turf has been entirely cut away in many places, might be brought into a profitable state at a small expense, as it lies remarkably well for drainage. There are several large and handsome seats: the principal are Lisnegar, the elegant mansion of the Rt. Hon. Lord Riversdale, in the midst of a small but highly improved demesne, comprising a great variety of rural scenery within a limited compass; Kilshannick, the ancient mansion and winter residence of Edm. Roche, of Trabolgan, Esq.; Ballyglissane, of F G. Reeves, Esq.; Shanbally, of John Welsh, Esq.; Bushy Park, of R. G. Campion, Esq.; Kildinon, the highly improved property of Edm. Roche, Esq.; the glebe, the residence of the Rev. W. Bourne; Ballinahina House, of Gerard Barry, Esq.; and Ballinahina Cottage, of the Rev. Dr. Barry, the parish priest of Fermoy for half a century, and for a long period the R. C. vicar-general of Cloyne. The living is a rectory, in the diocese of Cloyne, and in the patronage of the Rev. Percy Smith, of Headborough, county of Waterford: the tithes amount to £842, and there is a glebe-house, with a glebe of 31a. 1 r. 34p. The church, an ancient building, was much enlarged and improved in 1828, by a loan of £250 from the late Board of First Fruits. In the R. C. divisions the parish is the head of a union or district, comprising also that of Gortroe; in each parish there is a chapel; that at Rathcormac is a large cruciform edifice, with a small square tower at the south transept, erected in 1816 on a site given by Lord Riversdale. There is a place of worship for Wesleyan Methodists, also a fever hospital and dispensary. There are nine schools in the parish: the parochial schools are supported by the rector and by a subscription of £10 per ann. from the Hon. George Colley; there is a school at Kildinan in connection with the Board of National Education, and another at Rathcormac, with accommodations for 400 pupils, built at a cost of £250; a Sunday school is under the superintendence of the Protestant clergymen: the remainder are private schools. The total number of children in the day schools is 320, of whom 197 are boys and 123 girls. At Shanbally, near Kildinan, are the ruins of an ancient castle, once the strong hold of the great Earl of Desmond.

(CE 12/12/1845) RATHCORMAC PETTY SESSIONS – Dec. 9 – IMPORTANT TO PUBLICANS - Magistrates present – Denis O Callaghan, Chairman; John G. Nason, Benjamin S. Wood, and Gerard Barry, Esqrs.
Daniel M’Carthy against William Meehan, David Barry, Thomas Ward, Johannah Fouhy and Cornelius Donegan. – The first case called on was that against Wm. Meehan and Mr. Furlong, who appeared for the prosecution, stated, that although the nominal complainant was Daniel M’Carthy, the real complainant was M. Johnson, the Clerk of the Peace for this County. Those were prosecutions instituted against the defendant, who were publicans, for not registering their licenses with the Clerk of the Peace, as required by the 3rd and 4th Wm. IV, chap. 68; and the penalty in each case was £10, which the Magistrates has power to mitigate to one-fourth, but not less. Mr. Johnson felt very reluctant in being obliged to institute these proceedings; but he also felt that he would be neglecting his duty as a public officer if he did not do so, and to prevent such proceedings as much as possible, the moment the lists were furnished to him by the Excise Officers, he had notice sent to each publican stating, that if they did not register within one week he should prosecute them, so therefore, the defendants could not say they were taken by surprise. All Licences expired on the 10th of October in each year........
Daniel M’Carthy, sworn and examined by Mr. Furlong – Exhibited the informations (now produced) before Mr. Nason, on the 5th Instant, and served the Summons on the same day – one upon the Defendant, Wm. Meehan.
Edward Holdaway – Is an Excise Officer stationed at Watergrasshill; knows the Defendant, who is a publican residing there also; he obtained his licence for the present year on the 30th October last, and entered into the necessary bond with two Sureties, to which he is subscribing witness, and saw it executed by Meehan and his sureties.
James Richard Bull – Is a Clerk in the County peace office, and keeps the registry of publicans, which he now produces, has searched and found that Wm. Meehan has not registered his licence for the present year.
The Chairman then asked the Defendants if they had any defence, as the case was very clearly proved against them, and the bench was bound to convict them. The Defendants said their only defence was ‘Ignorance of the Law,’ and hoped the prosecution would not be persevered in........The Bench then fined all the Defendants in the mitigated penalty of £2 10s. each.

SLATER’S 1846 DIRECTORY – RATHCORMAC (included with Castlelyons in the original, see CASTLELYONS)
RATHCORMAC is a market and post town (formerly a parliamentary borough), and a parish, in the barony of Barrymore, county of Cork, about 140 miles from Dublin and between 17 and 18 north-east from Cork; situated on the river Bride, and between the cities above mentioned. The town consists of one principal street and a few small ones. Several pretty cottages, erected by the Hon. Charles L. Tonson, embellish the Cork entrance to the town, and Lord Riversdale’s seat is a great ornament to the vicinity. With the exception of an extensive tannery, a fine nursery, and an excellent commercial inn, the business of the place is of that general character sustained in rural towns. The seneschal of the manor holds a court occasionally, for the recovery of small debts, and the magistrates assemble in petty sessions once a fortnight. The town was erected into a free borough by Charles II, and the inhabitants obtained the privilege of returning two members to the Irish parliament, which they continued to exercise until the Union, when the borough was disfranchised.
The parish church is ancient and rather handsome; it was enlarged in 1828, by means of assistance from the Board of First Fruits. The Roman Catholic chapel, erected in 1816 on a site given by Lord Riversdale, is a large cruciform edifice, with a low square tower. The Wesleyans have a small place of worship; and there is a fever hospital and a dispensary. A national school, a parochial school for females, a loan fund, and a Bible society, are the other institutions established in Rathcormac. The inhabitants possess a charter for a market but they do not avail themselves of it. Fairs August 12th and November 9th; these are held on a beautiful green in the deer park of Lord Riversdale. Population of Rathcormac parish, in the year 1841, was 5,324, inclusive of 1,321 inhabitants of the town.

COLEY ESTATE, RATHCORMAC, 1847 - (CE 24/3/1847) - A GOOD LANDLORD - SIR – Permit me through the columns of your journal to lay before its readers, the act of my good landlord, the Honourable G. F. Coley, through his excellent agent, Thomas French, Esq. He has for the past year forgiven his Tenants on the Lands of Mondaniel, the entire rent of the Potato Gardens, and, in addition, allowing them for the seed and tilling, which in most instances, amounted to three-fourths of the year’s rent. He has also given directions to pay the Passage, and provide all necessaries for such of his tenants as wish to go to America, giving them, in addition, one pound each; and to provide seed of every description for this year for such of his Tenants as require it. All the Labourers on his property are preparing to go. Would to God other Landlords would take the example of this truly good man. I remain, Mr. Editor, your very obedient servant, - THOMAS HEFFERNAN, Rathcormac, March 8th, 1847
