THE REMINISCENCES OF 

 LORD O'BRIEN, 



CHIEF JUSTICE OF IRELAND. 



Edited by his Daughter, Hon. GEORGINA O'BRIEN. 

 One Volume. With Portrait. Demy 8vo. IDS. 6d. net. 



Not many bodies of men have a more distinguished tradition 

 than the Irish Bench and Bar, and among the legal luminaries of 

 Ireland in recent years there was no more representative and 

 characteristic figure than Lord Chief Justice O'Brien. After his 

 retirement he occupied his leisure in putting together his 

 reminiscences. They were unfortunately left unfinished at his 

 death, but have been edited and completed with the fullest know- 

 ledge and sympathy by his daughter, the Hon. Georgina O'Brien. 



He has much to say of sport, of youthful frolics, and of 

 prominent figures in the social life of Dublin, but the main 

 interest of the book lies, as was to be expected, in his professional 

 recollections. These include the trials arising out of the Phoenix 

 Park murders, and those which followed another no less sombre 

 tragedy the M aamstrasna massacre ; but for the most part they 

 are of a more cheerful character. The impress of a vigorous and 

 intensely independent personality is stamped on every page, and 

 few people could attain to the detached serenity with which he 

 records the bestowal of the once well-known sobriquet of " Peter 

 the Packer."
