9781846826108 1846826101 At Mallow petty sessions on 31 October 1893, two young Cork girls were committed to an industrial school at Kinsale, on the south coast of the county. They were committed on the grounds that they were found begging in the town on that day. The industrial school to which they were sent was run by the Mercy order of nuns, and the girls would remain there until they were sixteen years of age. Correspondence filed with their committal orders provides an insight into the circumstances under which they were committed. This short book examines the context of the case. It summarizes the workings of the Irish industrial schools system in the 19th century as it related to the case of the two girls and examines the circumstances of the girls' family and the significance of the associated correspondence. It also describes Mallow town, its social structure in the 1890s - a time of great hardship for many - and the nature of the place to which the girls were sent, including the strict rules by which an industrial school was run. Industrial schools were strictly monitored by the government. The case of the girls illustrates a contemporary concern that bothered the authorities and the inspector of industrial schools.
