>From The Cork Examiner 26 September 1919 -- CORK QUARTER SESSIONS ------ Licensing and Criminal Business The Hon. the Recorder, K.C., took up the criminal and licensing business of the above sessions yesterday. On the Bench with his Honor were:--The Lord Mayor and the City High Sheriff. The following Grand Jury was sworn:--Messrs. Edward Riordan (foreman), Michael Young, Martin Dalton, Alfred E. Edwards, Lawson Ferguson, William Roche, Patrick F. Scanlan, Robert H. Marsh, John Daly, Cleevehill; Michael Ryan, Adelaide Terrace; James Hayes, Merchants Quay; Wm. Heaslip, Wm. O'Donoghue. Addressing the Jury, the Recorder said there were only five cases to go before them. One was a case of obtaining the unemployment grant by false pretences, and there was another case against two men of malicious injury to property, consisting of the smashing of furniture in a house. These were two of the five, and the other three were ordinary larcenies. The cases were all of a class with which they had been in the habit of dealing and they would find no complexity about them, but as there were only thirteen jurors sworn it would be necessary on the back of the bills for the foreman and the other jurors to sign their names. The Grand Jury then retired, and mean time the long panel was called over. Transfers and confirmation of licenses were granted to the following, there being no opposition:-- Margaret Ahern, 17, Devonshire street; William John Cahill, 16, Prince's street; Nannie Carey, 25, North Main street; Joseph Fitzgerald, 1, O'Connell street (new license); Francis Harrington, 42 Shandon street; Catherine Hay, 28, Parnell Place; Kate Heffernan, 37 Bandon road; Briget Hegarty, 49 Commons road; James Henchy, 40 and 41, Wellington rd.; Norah Kelly, 21 Dominic street; Margaret Lennox, 354, Blarney street; Philip J.
