Letter from James Connery, County Kerry, concerning illicit distillation in the county

Letter from James Connery, Ballyduff, Lismore, County Kerry, to Earl Talbot, Lord Lieutenant, Dublin Castle, complaining of the self-interested conduct of local magistrates in Lismore, particularly regarding the widespread problem of illicit distillation. Refers to one magistrate who does not want the military to be called in, as they may clamp down on his tenantry's illicit distillation, without which his tenantry would be unable to pay him his 'enormous Rent'. Also refers to threats made to Connery, warning him not to refuse anyone requesting use of his empty casks, or his mill.
