While researching Bartholomew Hayes of Ennistymon I ran accross the following in the minutes of the Ennistymon Poor Law Committee "Moved that the voting papers searved by Bartly Hayes be laid on the table on this day week, that they may be inspected with a view of discovering several irregularities contained in them and supposed to be perpetrated by himself and with his consent and that a committee be appointed for such inspection " [May26th,1843] Later in the minutes the folllowing appeared " Moved by Michael Considine and seconded by Austin Slattery that a committee be appointed to examine the voting papers of Bartholomew Hayes. Moved as an admendment by Daniel Considine and seconded by Michael McNamara that the voting papers be not examined in as much as that it would not be dealing fairly with the rate payers to expose their votes." What are the voting papers? They appear to be tied in with property valuations and taxes that go to the Poor Law Union. Any help will be greatly appreciated Richard Hayes
