The June 2, 1888 judgement of the High Court of Justice of Ireland confirming that Trinity College and the University of Dublin "are one body". This High Court judgement was published by Trinity College in 1898 in Volume II of Chartae et Statuta Collegii Sacrosanctae et Individuae Trinitatis Reginae Elizabethae juxta Dublin, pages 507-536. A copy of this nineteenth century book is held at the Irish National Library and the judgement was scanned and this PDF file created using that source. Copyright expired.

The title of the case was - The Provost, Fellows and Scholars of Trinity College, Dublin v. the Attorney General, the Chancellor, Doctors and Masters of the University of Dublin and the Trustees and Executors of the will of the late Richard Tuohill Reid.

It is, he said, "the only reserved judgment of the Irish Superior Courts dealing with the relationship between Trinity College Dublin, [and] the University of Dublin...".
