2 unusual facts about John Naish


John Naish

Naish is credited with having suggested that magistrates in their ongoing struggle with the Irish National Land League, should rely on an obscure medieval statute, 34 Edward III c.1, to imprison those who could not find sureties for their good behaviour.

Naish's health failed in his forties: he travelled to the Continent in hope of a cure, but died at the German spa town of Bad Ems on 17 August 1890 and was buried there.
