JH Bond seems to have had a litigious streak. I have seen an account of his making a complaint against local youths (in Dundalk or Darver) knocking on his door and then running away. When the boys failed to appear at the court sessions, the magistrate dismissed the case.
Here is a time-line of his (mainly Dublin) life, mainly from directories.
