Abstract

London: Printed and sold by J. Catnach, 2 Monmouth-Court ..., [1822]. 1 sheet (1 unnumbered page) : illustration (woodcut) ; 46 x 41 cm. James Byrne, a coachman, accused the Bishop of Clogher with making sexual advances, and the Bishop retaliated by accusing Byrne of extortionary libel. In a trial viewed as a travesty of justice, Byrne was sentenced to public flogging and a two-year prison sentence. The text includes the prosecution's jury speech and reporting from the Dubin Morning Post. The woodcut illustration depicts Byrne tethered to a rolling cart, his bare back being lashed by a uniformed guard. http://morris.law.yale.edu/record=b1712007
