The Case of Ireland, Stated

William Molyneux

Regarded as the most celebrated Irish political pamphlet published before 1801, William Molyneux’s Case of Ireland, stated (1698) was written to demonstrate that English statutes did not become of force in Ireland until they had been re-enacted by the Irish parliament.

This controversial work — through application of historical and legal precedent — deals with contentious constitutional issues that had emerged in the late seventeenth century as a result of attempts on the part of the English Parliament to pass laws that would suppress the Irish woolen trade. It also deals with the disputed appellate jurisdiction of the Irish House of Lords.
