Cork made a county and earliest corporation records
Cork · city · Cork · 1609
In 1609 Cork was made a County in itself, marking the commencement of the earliest Corporation book. Earlier mayoral records are uncertain; a Chancery Roll names William Syghin as Mayor in 1381, and ancient memoranda in Trinity College Dublin provide additional scattered names.

* We are unaUe to ascertain the source from which Smith procured his List of the Maj'ors of Corlj, prior to the year I6O9, when Cork was made a County in itself, and in which year the earliest book of the Corporation commences ; Imt finding William Syghin named in a Chancery Koll, as Mayor in the year 1381, we conclude, that Smith's list cannot be quite correct. We have also discovered some ancient memoranda among the JISS. in Trinity College, Dublin, of the names of some of the Mayors of Cork, at unconnected periods, evidently taken from records or original documents, which lead us to the same conclusion — we have inserted these latter names underneath. But from the year 1609, and probably from a more remote date. Smith's list may be considered correct, though certainly incomplete. We have procured additions from the ahove-mentioned book, and now give the list of .Sheriffs from their first institution. The officers who preceded them were called Bailiffs. It may be obscived, that for several years the office of Jlayoralty generally lasted only six months.

Think of yoiu" country and your liberties ; think of your city and your interests; tiiink of your honour and engagements." The other members of this company were, Daniel Cullimore (styled Toby Slim,) and William Busteed (styled Wouldbe Cailitf). After Lane had withdrawn, the rest of the company commenced a conversation on some other election squibs lately published; one of them was entitled "The Vision;" another in answer to it, styled "A Friendly Caution," insinuates that the writer was sir Richard Cox, bart; but our tract denies this; calls him a gentleman of understanding, fortune and worth, one who gives general content in his public office; and tells us that sir Richard coming to the city a stranger, and not knowing the private base administration of our government, submitted himself in complaisance to some acquaintance to be a member of that club, where he continued for some time, but at length finding out their unworthy actions, he quitted them as did many beside.
