| Summary | "Twenty Years' Recollections of an Irish Police Magistrate" by Frank Thorpe Porter is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book offers a collection of narratives recounting incidents from the author's lengthy career as a police magistrate in Dublin, providing insights into the criminal justice system of the time, as well as anecdotes involving various characters connected to law and order. The opening of the memoir presents the case of a man named Lonergan, accused of poisoning his employer, Mr. O'Flaherty. Following a complicated legal process, Lonergan is convicted and sentenced to be hanged and quartered, although he maintains his innocence until the end. The narrative highlights the somber realities of justice in historical Dublin, emphasizing the impact on both the condemned and those around him. The chapter concludes with a dramatic account of Lonergan's eventual escape from execution, illustrating themes of fate, human error, and the complexities of truth versus perception.
