THE BIRMINGHAM TOWER PAPERS: extracts An extensive compilation of typed extracts or summaries apparently from papers in Birmingham Tower [Dublin Castle] dealing with the affairs of the Fenians in Britain, etc., in five strongly bound quarto volumes, with a sixth volume, bound en suite, titled The Broy Papers, containing apparently similar material, with TLS laid in from State Paper Office (Dublin), 1954, granting permission to consult documents under certain conditions. With old library stamps. It appears the material was compiled by Michael J. Lennon, a Dublin district justice from 1937 to 1957, when he resigned at the request of the Goverment after criticism of remarks he made during a case involving political offences.
