Bartholomew Thomas Duhigg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bartholomew Thomas Duhigg (1750?–1813) was an Irish legal antiquary.[1]
Duhigg was called to the Irish bar in 1775. He was for a long period librarian to King's Inns, Dublin, and also held the post of assistant barrister for the county of Wexford.[1] He also wrote, but never published, A Completion of King's Inns Remembrancer, giving an Account of the most Eminent Irish Lawyers, and a History of the Union with Ireland (History of the King's Inns, page 614). In a letter from Dr. Anderson to Bishop Percy, dated 3 September 1805, Duhigg is noted as "a writer of curious research and information", but as writing "a bad English style".[2]
In addition to his legal investigations, Duhigg appears to have studied with much care the old Irish language.[1] He was married, and had one son, an officer in the army.[1]
