Magistrates: Magistrates were appointed I'm not sure whether by the authorities in Dublin Castle ( a moveable feast) or by Co Cork Grand Jury. I suspect that a cabal of leading families on the county were heavily involved. Their functions were primarily legal and they performed at perhaps a slightly lower level than the present district Justice. Many Ministers if not curates of the Church of Ireland pre 1870 were Magistrates remembering that until 1870 it was the State Church. They also seemed to have some miscellaneous functions tied to the Grand Jury Presentments relating to local works and their authorisation. Acting as leading local citizens they would be doing a lot of what a local TD or Councillor would now do. There is plenty of contemporaneous evidence of the arbitrary and sectarian nature of many of the Magistrates. The authorities from perhaps 1810s seemed anxious to change matters. Firstly a number of Catholics were appointed including a number of members of the Durrus O'Donovan family, Redmond Barry Glandore and others. The clerk when he sat with the magistrates probably exerted increasing influence. By around 1830 Dublin Castle started to phase out the old system of magistrates by introducing the Petty Session Courts presided over by a Resident Magistrate (Remember Somerville and Ross 'The Irish RM' ?) often they would be o]retired British Army Officers on half pay, District Inspectors RIC or Barristers but did not have to be legally qualified. They sat with two Magistrates and a Clerk. The rules were codified by Bram Stoker (Of Dracula fame) who was Chief Inspector of Petty Session Clerks c 1880. The Resident Magistrate was a unique Irish legal Office unknown in the rest of the Common Law world. In preindependence Ireland, a Resident Magistrate was a stipendiary magistrate appointed to a county (outside of the Dublin Metropolitan Police District) to sit among the justices of the peace at Petty Sessions in that county. They were appointed by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (in reality, therefore, by the Dublin Castle administration in Ireland). The Petty Sessions in the early 19th century replaced the Manor Courts which were inefficient and often corrupt. Petty sessions were originally held by justices of the peace, who were lay people (and in Ireland, typically members of the Protestant Ascendancy and as the 19th century advanced local eminent citizens), as preliminary hearings for Quarter Sessions and the assizes). From 1836, the justices acted under the supervision of resident magistrates. The Petty Sessions (Ireland) Act 1851 regulated petty sessions, organising the country into petty sessions districts and providing for the appointment of clerks of petty sessions. A series of Summary Jurisdiction (Ireland) Acts, beginning in 1851, vested petty sessions with summary jurisdiction in minor criminal matters. Both these Acts are still on the statute book, though heavily amended. In Dublin, the divisional magistrates exercised similar power to petty sessions under the Dublin Police Acts. In practice the Clerk of Petty Sessions held considerable sway having a knowledge of law even if rudimentary and procedure. Justices of the Peace, Co. Cork, 16611800 by A. J. Fetherstonhaugh and H. F. Berry from documents Destroyed 1922 Matthew Adderley, 1728, Dromkeene 1
