The Bold Bad Baronet or The Diabolical Wager
In 1807, the Court of King's Bench Dublin awarded £20,000 damages to Lord Cloncurry (of the Co Kildare), in an action he brought against Sir John Piers, (of the Co Westmeath) for seducing his wife - an offence quaintly described in Irish Law, then and now, as 'criminal conversation'. Mr (sic) Frank Delaney unravels the strange tale of mystery and romance that lies behind this celebrated court case, with the help of Sir John Betjeman, Mr Rex Beaumont and his peacocks, Ulick O'Connor, The Hon Desmond Guinness, the Baron de Robeck and Patrick Ussher.
