Excerpt from Dublin University Magazine, Vol. 67: A Literary and Political Journal; January to June, 1866

The term Urradhus law from U rradh, native, a plies to those modifications of t 0 general laws consequent on the division of Ireland into separate kingdoms and terri tories, the provinces being partly independent, but partly also sub ordinate to the general laws. The term Cairds is applied to the inter territorial r lations, by which they were mut y bound to each other.

When will our law-makers cease to discover new varieties of offence or new relations of classes or individuals to each other, and when may we ex pect changes of old regulations or creations of new ones to cease? Never, while the constitution holds together. It was not so in old Ire land.' We cannot tell what new regulations were made by successive generations of Brehons from the days of Amergin but this is beyond doub that once the three spiritual, an three temporal and three juridical authorities, had rejected all the por tions essentially pagan, and adopted the rest with but little modification, no one afterwards, bishop, king, or brehon, ever attempted to modify the great body of the Senchus Mor.
