The great fraud of Ulster

The author reconstructs the historical transfer and contest of land in Ulster through exhaustive examination of state papers, court records, and legal briefs, assembling a narrative of title disputes, administrative manoeuvres, and calculated fraud. He charts procedures used to appropriate estates, the networks of individuals who profited, and the institutional mechanisms that legitimized or challenged transfers. The work combines documentary reconstruction, critical analysis of legal argument, and a chronological account that exposes systemic corruption and its consequences for property and governance.
