Here is the abstract.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This essay examines the litigation of the Irish actor, Charles Macklin (1699?\u20131797), born in Culdaff. co. Donegal, setting his career as an actor and playwright within the context of legislation affecting his profession with particular reference to the period up to May 1775 and his successful prosecution, under Lord Mansfield\u2019s ruling, against a riotous Covent Garden audience faction in 1773 who had conspired to discharge him from his contract. The essay also examines Macklin\u2019s professional association with the Irish playwright and lawyer, Arthur Murphy (1727\u20131805). This connection has not been noticed before yet Macklin\u2019s unusually wide experience of the English legal system, and his use of Murphy\u2019s counsel, strongly suggests the existence of a specific diaspora, however, limited in scale, comprised of Irish migrants situated at the top of London\u2019s theatrical and legal professions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=HedgehogsFoxes\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Worrall, Nottingham Trent University, has published Charles Macklin and Arthur Murphy: theatre, law and an eighteenth-century London Irish diaspora in volume 13 of the Law and Humanities Journal (2019).
