CORK QUARTER SESSIONS
Criminal and Licensing Business
‘…The case for the State as outlined by Mr. Casey, was that Messrs. Wallis and Sons, well-known carriers in Cork, were the owners of a number of vehicles, including a particular one-horse lorry, and in the month of August 1922, while irregular forces were in possession of a great many places in Cork, including the School of Art, and Ballincollig Barracks, an order was given to a man named Field [employed by Wallis and Sons] to take a horse and lorry to the School of Art and remove some materials from there to the Barracks at Ballincollig.

At the time it would be dangerous to refuse such an order, and as a consequence a horse and lorry, driven by Field, proceed to the School of Art, where a load was put on the lorry, and some men belonging to the irregular organisation then accompanied Field on the lorry to Ballincollig Barracks.

When they arrived at Ballincollig Barracks, Field was told to leave the horse and lorry behind him and go about his business. Field did so, but he returned to Ballincollig on the following day and he was then told that he would not get the horse and lorry.

From that day the horse had never been seen again and the lorry was not again seen until June 1923, when the lorry was found in the possession of [the] accused. He sold it to some carriers in Cork – Messrs. Keohane and Regan – representing that he bought it from the Army Canteen at Ballincollig. The lorry had then been converted into a two-horse lorry, and it had been painted. When the accused was asked to explain by the Civic Guards, how he got the lorry his story was that he purchased it from a man named James Flaherty…who stated to him that he had bought it from the Army Canteen Department at Ballincollig. The Civic Guards made inquiries and found there was such a person as Flaherty living at 10 High Street.

…The case for the defence was that the accused [Field] who was a farmer, in possession of sixty acres of land, and was always a thoroughly upright, honest man, did originally purchase the lorry from a man named Flaherty. He paid a sum of £12 for it and received a receipt which he produced. That receipt was dated 1st November, 1922 and it bore a stamp that was in use in the country before the Provisional Government came into power. … That the accused had no reason to doubt Flaherty’s statement to him that he purchased it from the Army Canteen Board during a dispersal sale by that body of property at Ballincollig Barracks….

The jury found a verdict of not guilty on both counts and the accused was discharged.’
