Familysearch.org have added 3.12 million records for the period 1790- 1924 under their Historical records for Ireland. Not been shown as recently added but this is the first time I have come across this collection.

[myluck!]

Just looked up a couple of people and found some very interesting entries!
Can't wait to look up the originals and see how to add to the family tree Larceny, Drunkeness and Assaulting a PC without offending anyone!!!!!

https://familysearch.org/search/collection/show#uri=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.familysearch.org%2Frecords%2Fcollection%2F2043780
but there doesn't seem to be an image available to be seen. So how could I find out more, please?

[taramcdsmall]

Ah, thank you.
In family search one reads that it can be seen at an LDS Centre, too.
I shall have to ponder as to whether it would be worth paying to see any more, or not - "Offence:    Charged On The Oath That Deft" doesn't make much sense to me.
