| Abstract | "In 1575 the lord admiral of England, Edward Clinton, appointed Ambrose Forth to act as judge of the Admiralty of Ireland. Between 1575 and 1893 an independent Cour of Admiralty functioned in Ireland, processing civil disputes over matters like seamen's wages, collision and salvage. The Court of Admiralty of Ireland is an institutional history of this tribunal over the three centuries of its existence. It describes the often colourful, and sometimes venal, personalities of some individuals--Adam Loftus, William Petty, Hugh Baillie and Jonah Barrington--who served as judges of this court, and deals with the jurisdictional and doctrinal controversies in which the Irish Court of Admiralty was so regularly involved"--Provided by publisher. |
