What is recorded here

John Hely-Hutchinson, born in Mallow in 1724, became a sharp-tongued lawyer and statesman who treated law like a game and people like pawns. He served as Provost of Trinity College Dublin and carried the Donoughmore name into national life. His mind moved fast, his judgement cut deep, and he left behind a reputation for brilliance wrapped in cruelty.
