Much has been written on the history of the railways and other transport forms in Ireland, from technological, economic, social and labour history viewpoints. However, the history of another important nineteenth-century transport form, the hackney carriage, remains neglected. In this article, it will be argued, using the hackney carriage business in Cork as a case study, that the hackney carriage was an important vehicle (both literal and metaphorical) in facilitating Cork’s development as a modern city with an urban centre surrounded by a suburban hinterland. Further, by examining in detail the workings of the Hackney Carriage Committee of the Cork Corporation, I will argue that the hackney carriage drivers, colloquially referred to as ginglemen or jinglemen, were for the most part a precarious working class who were policed by the Corporation, the Hackney Carriage Committee and the by-law governing their livelihoods. As such, the bye-law and the apparatus that implemented it was a form of liberal governmentality and social control over a portion of Cork’s working class.

科克的哈克尼马车

从技术、经济、社会和劳动史的角度来看，关于爱尔兰铁路和其他运输形式的历史已有很多著作。然而，另一种重要的 19 世纪交通工具——哈克尼马车——的历史仍然被忽视。在本文中，将使用科克的哈克尼马车业务作为案例研究，认为哈克尼马车是促进科克发展成为现代城市的重要工具（字面和隐喻）郊区腹地。此外，通过详细研究科克公司哈克尼马车委员会的工作，我将论证哈克尼马车司机，通俗地被称为 gglemen 或 jinglemen，在很大程度上是一个不稳定的工人阶级，他们受到公司的监管, 哈克尼运输委员会和管理他们生计的附则。因此，细则和实施它的机构是对科克部分工人阶级的自由治理和社会控制的一种形式。
