Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book describes a legal dispute in Ireland in the 1830s, between Henry Tommey and the trustees of his property, James White and others. Alleging financial impropriety by the trustees, Tommey presented his case to the Court of Chancery in Ireland. Despite the court initially ruling in his favor, a series of appeals and petitions to the House of Lords eventually overturned that decision. The author alleges instances of fraud, perjury, and misrepresentation in the handling of the case, and maintains that the actions of the trustees and the legal system conspired to ruin him financially. The author argues that the broader legal system at the time was rife with corruption and ulterior motives, and that his case is just one example of many similar injustices. The book offers a damning indictment of the legal system as it existed at the time, and raises fundamental questions about the relationship between powerful interests and the pursuit of justice.
