1. At Appendix I. of this Report is printed the emendations Append! necessary to be made in the Aldenda to the Index of the Act or Grant Books and Original Wills of the Diocese of Dublin 1272- 1800, being Appendix IV. of ray 26th Report, in consequence of the references to Marriage Licences between the periods lf)72-1 685 and 1713-1741 having been taken, in l-he absence of the original registers, from a transcript of a private Index. Since then the original books of Marriage Licences have been found, as stated in my last Report, and many mistakes were found to exist in the transcript. These are now corrected by printing the correct entries in cases where mistakes exist in the published Lidex.

2. I regret to have to report the death of Mr. J. C. Bailey, an experienced clerk in this Department, which occurred in [ the month of January. The vacancy has been filled by the appointment of M r. J. F. Morrissey.

3. I have been approached by the Historical MSS. Commission, with a view to having MSS. committed to them, for the purpose of publicacion, deposited temporarily in the Strong Room for safe custody during examination and transcription by their Inspectors. I am very happy to have been able to meet the wishes of the Commission.

4. Permission was given by the Lords of H.M. Treasury to purchase some Records of the late Killaloe Diocesan Registry ; also two l(jt3 at the auction of a portion of the library of the i late Sir Thomas Phillipps, bart., which had apparently at one time formed portion of the Records of the Crown.

OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS IN IRELAND. 7

prepared extending to nearly 700 ])ages. The collection as now arranged has been formed by bringing tugeuher the letters and papei-s of this period from the following collections in the State Paper Office already referred to in former reports, viz. : —

11. {a) "Miscellaneous State Papers" referred to by Old Official Index, arranged according to subjects (Piep. IV., p. ■2i', Rep. Y., p. 31). This collectior consists mainly of letters to the Irish Government from Public departments or Officials in England and Ireland; classified in part according to tlie Department from which they came, and in part according to the subjects Avitli which they deal. They include a c<mtiuuation of the important .series already transferred under the title of British Departmental (Correspondence. The system of arrangement lias been retained and has been supplemented by the ad'lition of the letters and papers of this period found among the following : —

12. [b) "Miscellaneous State Pajjers," arranged chronologically, (Report v., p. 31). These papers were arranged in years in J 872, but the index then formed being of little practical value, all papers before 1790 have been withdrawn from it and amalga- mated with this present collection.

13. (c) ■' Irish Departmental Correspondence." The majoi ity of the papers of this small chiss were included in tlie collection of Papers earlier than 17UU mentioned in Rep. XXIX., s. 23, and Rep. XXX., s. 8. What remained of it has now been included in the present series.

14. (d) Miscellaneous Papers, 1700-1811, found b\^ Sir B. Burke (see Rep. XIII., p. 14). Those prior to 17(50 were included in the transfer of 1897 ; of the residue, those to 1789 are included in the present collection and in the Miscellaneous Papers which are to supplement it.

15. (e) The collection referred to in Sir B. Burke's VIIL, (p 23), IX. (p. 17), and XV]. (p. 14) Reports. The papers of this collection commenced in 1779. Those from this date to 1789, which occupied 4 cartons, numbered 020/1.3, to 620,18, have been inserted in the collection now formed. These papers are not, as seems to be implied, included in the comprehensive index of this collection mentioned in Rep. XX., p. 26.

16. (/) Occasional documents for this period found during the general arrangement of the different collections.

17. Besides these Departmental Letters and Official Papers there are a number of Miscellaneous Letters and Papers, llUing 5 or 6 cartons, for the same period and derived from the same sources. The arrangement and cataloguing of these also was commenced but could not be completed in 1898.

18. In addition to the work in arranging and cataloguing these Official Letters and Papers, the following classes have been cleaned, examined, arranged, made up in brown })aper parcels, and labelled, and entered up : —

Letters and Papers of Commissioners of Customs, 1790-1831. Letters and Papers of Commissioners of Excise, ]797-183.'5. Constabulary, Letters of Major Miller, Inspector-General of the Muaster Constabulary, 1829-36.

A list of the Heads of this collection was given in the 4th Report, D.K.R., pp. 24-5. As the papers under many of the heads in that list do not commence until after the period covered by the collection now transferred, it may not be amiss to give a list of the heads under which the papers now transferred are grouped.

89. The Master of the Rolls cancelled the Retention (^rdcr for the parish of Magheragall, and issued a new one on 26th July, 1898, in consequence of the erection of a vestry room, which necessitated the removal and re-erection of the safe.

The Retention Order, which had been granted for the parish of Eirke in 1879, was cancelled by Order of the Master of the Rolls, dated llth May, 1808, and under the same order two Registers were transferred to this Office.

APPENDIX 11.

Extract from Memorandum bv Mr. James Mills on the Departmental 'Letters and Official Papers, 1760-1789, transferred in 18'JcS.

\m.,n^ the matters illustrated bv this collection may be noted the ,„•.,. n-ess 'of the Bills of the Irish Parliament, which may be traced iu dif papers under the heads of Parliament, Councd Office, Ireland, Irish Office, and Council Office, London, and sometimes under Treasury and Home Office. A curious example of the way m which Uills of consequence were sometimes pushed through the necessary stages is given in the following letter uf the Un.ler Secretary at the Irisii Office in London (Irish Office letter, 177G, April 21) :

"Crown-street [London], April 21, 1776.

" Sir,— Two davs since, I called on Sr. Stanier Porten to settle the manner of transmitting the Bills : and as it was determined to send them bv a messenger, l gave notice thereof to the Councd officers and as all the persons concern'd in forwarding the business seem to have been animated with an uncommon zeal for dispatcli, I think some ot the particulars not unw-orthv to come to his Excellency's knowledire.

" Mr. Frewen, the Deputy Clerk of the Crown, ubtaiu'd the Lord High Steward's permission to leave his attendance on him in the Hall,* tlmt he might examine the Bills with the transcripts, bub the Attorney- General's clerk, who is the constant coadjutor to that officer on these occasions, could not possiblv quit his station ; therefore Mr. Dring, ot the Council Office, acted ashis deputy, and before the Lords had adjourn d, which was about six o'clock, the examination of the Bills was finish d.

" Sr. Stanier Porten, whose curiositv had carried him to the trial, lett the Hall at 2 o'clock, to get the proclamation sign'd by the King, which he got done.

" Mr. Cotterel was obliged to attend on the Foreign Ambassadors m the Hall during the whole trial: but has found time to write to you what the messenger brings with him, and to give some directions, ordering the messenger to attend at 10 o'clock.

" In the meantime Mr. Dring was to get the Bills sign'd and seal d. " Accordingly, he went to Mr. Rigby's, where my Lord President and the Attornev-General were to dine, but was refused to be admitted. Upon this he went back to the office, wrote a letter in the name of Mr. Cotterel to Lord President, requesting him to prevail on the Attorney- Geueral to sign the Bills, for which purpose, he said, a clerk was waiting with^them. These he carried in his bag. an<l Mr. l^iS'\v s servants condescending to give the letter to Lord Prcbidcnt, in 10 minutes the Attornev-General sign'd them, and dispatch'd him. ^ 1 lien he proceeded to the Lord Higli S'teward's, who was to dine at t^ o clock and o-etting there a little before, sot the seal affixt : and by halt-past J theyNvere made up and delivered to Raworth, the messenger, wJio inform'd me that he shouhl not sett ori' that night (all this w^s between 2 and 10 o'clock vesterdav), as a messenger was come from Dublin, and Lord Weymouth" must answer some letters, which he could not do till this day.

^_*Tlie Lord Ch.-iiKell.,r was silting us L.rd Steward at t!u- trial -f the Dvuhess of Kingston for bigamy.

90 APPENDIX TO THIRTY-FIRST IJKPORT OF THE DEPUTY

" Now I must observe, that so many great and little people, who were all concernVl to complete and perfect the V-usiness so necessary at this time for t'>e Irish Government, concvirring to act their several parts, at a time tliey really might have hee-n excused (if they had not been well disposed) almost deseives a clironicle ; though I own it puzzles me in some degree that it should have so happen' d.

" You will be so good as to aciiuaint his Excellency with the [mrport hereof, and believe me to be,

" Dear Sir,

" Your very faithfull and obedient humble Servant,

" RoBT, Weston."

The discussion in London between representatives of the Irish Government and the London authorities on the laws affecting Irish Trade is reported in a number of very full letters written by Sackville Hamilton, one of the Irish representatives, to the Chief Secretary (Trade, 1780, Jan. 1 to April 11). Hamilton m-et with every consideration, and speaks with much satisfaction of Loid JTorth's " Honor, Steadiness, and Favor for Ireland." (Feb, 2.)

Under the head " Post Office" are some interesting papers describing the mode in which the mails were conveyed through the country. Almost to the end of the period covered by this collection, the mails were carried by a mounted postboy riding alone. It is no marvel that they were frequently robbed.

Robbers, however, were not the only danger that the postboys had to face, as may be seen from the following letter : —

" Sir, — I am commanded by I>ord Clermont to represent to you, for the information of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, that on Wednesday morning the 1st inst. l)etwf>en I and 2 o'clock, the centinels at Newgate stopped the postboy who was currying the mail from this office to Kilcullen, nnd one of them struck the horse with his musquet, and the other stabbed him in two places in the side with his bayonet, so that he is still dangerimsly ill.

" I am to add that about six in the morning of Monday, the 6th inst. while it was full daylif^ht, a centinel at Newgate struck another post- boy who was biinging the mail from Kilcullen to this office, and wounded him twice in the head with his gun.

" As the safe and speedy conveyance of His Majc^sty's Mails is of the utmost consequence to the tnide and corres})ondence of this Kingdom, which, together with the persons t-inployed iu the service, have always been under the protection of Government, Lord Clermont thinks him- self iblig'd to beg His Excellency will be pleas'd to issue his orders that the mails may not in future l)e detain'd l)y the soldiers upon guard, that the jiostboys may not be molested, that the offenders I have mentioned ii:ay be pun'sh'd in an cxonphirv manner, to deter othei-s from the like attempts, and that the Postmaster of Kilcullen may have satisfaction for the damage done to l\is horse, or the loss of him if he dies.

ft was not, however, until IfSo that the merchants of Cork and Belfast began to agitate for a ujore secure and convenient mode of con- veying the mails. The first effort in this direction is to be found in an offer made by three merchants of Cork in the following letter : —

"Cork, 3rd Sep'., 1785.

" My Lord and Sir, — As his Majesties Post blasters General of this Kingdom we take the liberty of addressing you, humbly to submit to your consideration a plan for conveying the mail to and from Dublin hither in post carriages, agreeable to the mode now so universally adopted thro'out England. We are well aware of the many ditti- ciilties we have to encounter in venturing ;ipon so very new and hazardous an undertaking, yet so ambitious are we to promote what nuist be of such utility to trade and general advantage to the kingdom, that, under y' hon"' patronage, we are ready to give ample security for establishing regular post carriages and horses, which during the six summer months shall take u]) and bring do.wn the mail in 28 liour.«!, and in winter not exceed 30 hours ; al. owing us at the rate of ^Ir.

92 APPF,N*niX TO THlRTY-FIltST REPORT OF TIIH DEPUTY

This prui)<).sal was fa\rourably received by the Post Oftice authorities in Dublin, and it was recomtnended by thtm in a letter from the Secretary of 7tli September, 1785. They considered that "very essen- tial advantages must result, not only \Py the more speedy conveyance of His Majesty's mails, but from the communication which will thereby be opened in little more than twenty-four houi-s between Dublin and Corke, which, l)y the present mode of travelling, takes up a space of tive days."

Further consideration showed ditnculties which prevented the imme- diate carrying out of this improvement. In a letter of 13th December, 1736, the Secretary writes: — "Upon enquiry into the state of the roads throuiihout the Kingdom in general, they appeur'd to be in such a situation as to ])rec!ude the p()ssii)i]ity of such an establishment at [)resent, nor was it likely that they woulfl be so soon put into sufficient repair for that purpose as uught be wish'd. That the moment they were so, and that contractors could be found to undertake such a plan, they would again call the attention of Government to that very important and desireable object."

In 1788 a more than usually important mail i-obbery brought the question again into prominence.

"Gen. Post Office, Dublin,

"Thur.sday, Feb. 28th, 1788.

" Information is further received this morning that the postboy with the mail for Dublin was again robbed last night at nine o'clock, between Dunleer and Droghe<la, by two men, one a tall, the other a short man. The latter of whom tied the postboy's hands behind his back with a garter, and took the entire mail away, containing the post- bags from the following towns that should liave arrived here this morning, vi^^., A.rmagh, Banbridge, Belfast, Castlebellingham, Donagh- adee, Dromore, Dundalk, Dungannon, Dunleer, Flurrybridge, Hills- boroiigh, Loughbrickland, Lurganbreen, Markethill, Newry, New- townards. * * * * "

This robbery appears to have hastened the action of the authorities, and in the following month an advertisement was published for pro- jtosals for "carrying the mails in coaches, attended by guards.'' In considering the cost of the new arrangements, the Postmasters-General observe (letter, 31 May, 1788) — "That as the solicitor's bilk for the expence of prosecutions for mail robberies since the establishment of this Office amount, upon an average, to £1,000 a year, a saving nearly to that amount may be expected to the levenue of this Office if the Mail Coach plan shall be established."

Smugglers plied their calling with nmch success, ]iot with standing the Irish Fleet of Kevcmue Cruisers. Several letters point to the little port of Ptush, though so near Dul)lin, as one of the most formidable homes of tlie snuigglei'. During war, especially the American War, the smugglers were frequently found manning and directing the French and American privateers, which infested the coast and seriously menaced the trade of the country. The following letter, jji'eserved under head of Revenue, illustnites how completely the trade was sometimes at their mercv : —

" 13th August, 1781.

'• HoNOUiJED SiKS, — I am Sony to acciuaiiit your Honrs. that this ])urt is now so compleatly block'd up by pi'ivateers that no vessel iroiu.i; out, or comiug in, can possiltly escape; one of them, a lugger of IG six -pounders, commanded by Dowliug, just now chaced the Hunter Ijupress boat into the very harbour; tliis privateer lies at anchor trei[uently in the sound between the two Saltees, and slips out .(L'o.isionally on seeing any ship. A brig a:id lugger chased several vessels yesterday (Sunday) off the Tower, and took one of our coal traders (the Iris, Captu. Tedball) and two sloops of little value, one of which they ransomed for one hundred guineas, and the other they sutfer'd to pass free, but finding the Iris ])ada few packs of bay yarn on board, which she took in here, they would not ransom her on any account. Another of the privateers, which has committed great depredations on this coast, carrys 26 nine and twelve-] )Ouudei-s and 250 men, and has (it is repoi-ted by some who were prisoners on board her) ransomers on board, to the amount of forty thousand pounds ; she is call'd the Princess do Norrice, one McCarthy, commander ; there is also another cutter on the coast, call'd the Chardon, of 20 guns. In sluu't, J can assure your Hours, with certainty, that scarce a day passes tliat vessels are not taken iu view of the people about Dunmore and Tramore, and unless some ert't.-ctunl steps shall be taken to ju'event it, there must be an end to all trade here, as insurance will not be had for any premium. And what makes our situation the more deploreable is that the Nemesis, frigate, and V^ijjer, cutter, have been order'd for Cork, whither they sail'd the 10th inst , to convoy a fleet from thence to Enghmd, so that we have now a repetition of every evil to expect from those pirates, who were hardy enough to take mauy vessels at the harbour's mouth, at a lime Avhen they knew that some of his Majesty's ships of war were at anchor within.

Gi'eat as was the danger from the privateer pirates, the unlighted coast formed a still graver source of disaster. Some interesting particulars are included under the head of ''Light Houses," especially as to those at Hook, Tuskar, and Howth. So late as 1788 the question whether oil lamps might not be an improvement on the open coal tires hitherto used, was under discussion ; experiments were gravely made and re[i0rted on.

Among matters of internal interest, the occasional distress caused by general or h.cal failures of the crops, at several times occupie<I the attention ot (rovernuient. Among the n^eans adopted were encouiaiio- nient of coa.stwise convevanee of corn from districts of ple;-ity to distressed districts, jjurcha.se of corn to be retaileii at low price to the poor, <tc.

A letter of Lord Temple, when leaving i.fficL'. to his sncccs.sor, Lord Xorthington ("Lord Lieutenant," 23 May, 1783), deals very fully with the nieans of meeting the then thre.itetie<l dearth. ^Vmong other niensiires referred to, lie ad'is that '' the 'aws ot' this Ringdoia do n(<t enable Government to slop the distiih-ry, t-lso an immediate relief might be afforded against the tiireatened calamity. "

94 APPENDIX TO TinUTY-FlKST RKPORT OF THE DEPUTY

The Excise authorities liad already (Revenue, 19 July, ITfiO) cilleil attention to the waste of corn from unchecked distilling in time of scarcity, aud had urged this an additional reason for increased aid from the military for their officers.

Section 5 of the Act 2 1 & 22 Geo. III. c. 24, which enabled Catholic priests to register themselves, has led to the preservation of lists of the Catholic clergy of several dioceses. Some of these i-egisters are very full of iuterestiug details, including, heside the name aud rank of the clergyman, his age, and the date aud place of receiving the different orders, and the names of the ordaining bishops.

Under the head, " Surveys," are some very interesting letters of Colonel Vallancey, describing the accident by which he discovered Petty's u\aps in the Royal Libi-ary in Paris, and his subsequent progress in the transcription of the maps. Two of these letters are subjoined : — ■

" Mv Lord, — Having by accident turned over the King's Catalogue of the Bibliotheque Royal de France, a discovery oilered of n-.uch impor- tance to Ireland, On enquiry of Lord Erlsiort, the Secretary of State, &c., [ believe your Grace will Ijnd that the Down Survey or the survey ot the forfeited estates, made by Sir Wm. Petty, are frequently allowed to be evidence in Court, in cases of property. That on this account an office called the Survevor General's of Land, was established lor the preservation of this survey ; that many years since, a fire in the Castle ol Dublin consumed many of tliese surveys ; that the copy in possession of Lord Shelborn is imi)ei-fect, and eannot supply this defect. That these copies are all laid down on a scale too small for ascertaining the just bounds of estates, and were not intended by Sir Wm. Petty for that purpose, but only a contraction of the great originals towards making a small map of Ireland.

" That the original on a large scale was shipped for England, iu order to be engraved in London, in the reign of Queen Ann ; the ship was taken in the ])assage by a French privateer and carried into St. Maloes, and many fruitless searches have been made to recover these Surveys.

" Lord Harcourt made every enquiry jjossible for them in France ; Lord Shelborn did the same : the Catalogues of the French Libraries were turned to in vain ; no such maps appearing iu the Catalogues under the words Cartes or J/.S',S', the Librarians never gave themselves further trouble. J have experienced the same both at Oxford and Cambridge.

"My pursuits this day in the French King's Catalogue were for old Copies of the Bible, and consequently turned to the volume entitled Theology^ curious to know in what manner the collection was made. I perused the Preface, and to my great astonishment at page 50, found the enclosed account of the original Survey of Ireland, by Sir Wm. Petty, on the large scale, and I suppose complete : if not, probably there remain those now deficient in the Surveyor General's Office.

" If on enquiry 3-our Grace shall find these to be of consequence and worthy ofbeingolitained, or of ])eing copied, there can be no doubt ot its being acoomj>lished, liy application of Lord Sydney or of .Mr. Pitt to the French And)assador.

" Disafipointed of the opj)ortunity of dedicating my map (jf Ireland to your Grace, which I had Jiopes of doing in the most superb manner the art of engraving would perndt, and desirous of throwing my mite into the great Pyramid of popularity, so justly erected to vour Grace's memory in Ireland.

Le Noire, U'uef Librarian. This gentleman was iu the countiy and did not arrive till this day. Monsi-. Le Noire has assured me of every means to facilitate the copy of the maj)s ; it must be made in the library, he .said we might work from nine in the morning to six at evening. This would be sufficient ; but the under librarian objects to these hours and dechires he will shut up the library each day at twelve. I requested il. Le Noire to [)ermit the books to be taken to my lodgings ; he said, the King's orders were positive against such an indulgence, but the under librarian whis{)ered it would be granted if the D. of Dorset would ask it of the King. In vain I solicited for a sight of the maps, on my first arrival. The sub-librarian could not grant that favour till M. Le Noire arrived — he had indeed shewn them to Baron Power, but I must wait for an order. At length he granted me that favour yesterday, for two minutes only. At the first cast of ray eye, they appear to be the maps of each barony, with tlie Down Survey, only as far as it extended in each barony ; executed in a more masterly manner than anything of the kind remaining in Ire- land. The title page is finely illuminated, and every part shews great care and attention has been paid to this work.

" It is impossible to form an idea of the time ii will require to make tl)is copy : the shortest will be four months fioni this date ; three will be sufficient if I am indulged to ttike the books to my lodgings, which are within pistol shot of the library, in hopes the proximity might be some inducement to this favour ; but, if the under librarian carries his point of granting me only three hours in the day to work, it will re-juire much longer time than I have specitied. Thus circumstanced in the midst of the most ex[)en.sive city of the world, even for common necessaries of life, I hope, sir, you will Ije pleased to send me a fuvther credit, more than half the sum advanced, being already expended.

96 APPPENDIX TO THIRTY-FIRST EEPORT OF THE DEPUTY

Perlsaps the latest instance of the wai'like use of a ratli is coutaineci in a letter describing a forcible resistauce to the Hherifi' of County of Tij)perary ot Oldcastie, seven miles from Ternpieuiore. " The (.larrisou, as it was called, was a Danish Fort, tlie form circular, ami planted with fir trees that made the place so dark as not to he able to see into it ; the banks round it were about eighteen foot high, with a stake hedge at top and a deep fosse round this, in an open field on a rising ground." So strong was the place that Sir John Garden, the writer of the letter, and the Sheriff agreed that it could not be taken without artillery.

The humane desire to improve the condition of the prisons, which was being ui-ged on by Howard, led to int[uiries and much beneficial work in Ireland. Towards tlie end of this period Sir Jeremiah FitzPatrickj m.d., was appointed Inspector-General of Prisons and Hospitals. The following account of the dilficulti<;s he met iu attempt- ing to introduce reforms in the Marshalsea, is of iutei*est : —

" To His Excellency, George iSTuoENT Grexville Temple, Lord Lieutenant-General and General Governor of Ireland.

"The Memorial of Sir Jeremiah FitzPatrick, Inspector-General of

Prisons,

" Most Humbly Showeth —

" That in consequence of the rules proposed for the efiectual regulation of the Four Courts Marshalsea, agreeable to your Excellency's will, the greatest' disorder and violence has taken place in that piison ; in so much, thai. ^lemorialist is in the greatest danger of his life, and finds that without your Excellency's protection he cannot with safety visit that Marshalsea again, not even to have the works at present under- taken finished.

" By the regulations, the Marshal considers himself injured in point of expence. 'The wealthy, who have families lodged with them for several years past — and still i-emain, altho' entitled to the two last Insolvent Acts — but will not give up their t-ti^r-cts to their just creditors ; those vrho have more than one room ; those who keep mistresses, and all the whisky drinkers, are disobliged ; so that in place of your Memorialist finding friends, after all his exertions for prisoners — it was with the greatest difficulty he escaped their rage on Fryday morning last — which he effected by sliping thro' the hatches, when they least expected it.

*■' On Satuniay Memorialist received the enclosed card, dated the 21st, and on Sunday was cautioned by a Member of Parliament, and other gentlemen not to venture there again without the army or some y)ersons to protect Memorialist.

"* On !Momiay Memorialist received the note dated the 23i-d June. Your Memorialist, however, was determined not to become troulde- some to Government, except it became unavoidable, and conscious that he w;is discliiu'ging his duty in fultilling your Excellency's commands, he went yesterday to see the works in respect to the Bath and Hospitals, S:c., carried into effect ; and prepared himself with pistols, which he had in his coat-pockets, with a large coat thrown over his shoulders, loosely. ^Memorialist had not Ijeen one minute iu the y;ird, when one of the prisoners, bv whom he had formerlv bepn abused, accosted him bv savintf the bathing would soon be begun ; alluding in M';morialist's 0|ii):it)n, to the j)i..;iping. ^MemorialisL went onto give his ilirerlions to the men who were at work at the bath, and finding himself followed by near one hundred persons, and that a prisoner who personated a

judge in old robes, with a person before him who kept beating an old tin vessel (as if a di'um) paraded the yard, and that numbers were coming round Memorialist, he began to entertain fears for his safety, and was moveing towards an open space to avoid them, and sometimes looking towards the upper windows, Irom whence he heard they would fire. Memorialist foot struck against some obstacle, on which one of the pistols, until then concealed, went otf, and as the muzzle was upwards, tired into the air. Memorialist immediately, but with difficulty escaped, which he verily believes he could not have done had lie not kept another loaded pistol presented whilst he retreated to the door,

" [Memorialist was particularly abused by three or four persons, who seemed the ringleaders, and by a William Alexander English, who \('lieniently swore that ^Memorialist was acting othciously, and had no right to visit or inspect that Marshalsea ; and that if Memorialist ever attempted to enter his apartment for the purpose of carrying the ))ro[,osed or any , other regulation into execution, that he would kick Memorialist downstairs, no matter by whom directed or supported.

" Your ^lemorialist declares that he is thus prevented from discharging the duties of his office, and of forwarding the regulations so humanely intended Ijy your Excellency, therefore prays protection.

I have not touched on the letters of political consequence, yet the collection contains many such. These are ranged chiefly under the houds of Home Office, Lord Lieutenant, and Treasury. Among these are to be found, besides official letters of advice and direction from the Government in London, in many cases also the original drafts of the replies, which show not only the answer sent but sometimes the manner iu which, after repeated changes, the ultimate form of the answer was arrived at. The whole collection forms an important addition to the now available sources of the history of Ireland iu tho last century.

THE THIRTY-SECOND REPORT

OF THE

DEPUTY KEEPER OP THE PUBLIC EECOEDS km KEEPER OP THE STATE PAPERS

IN IRELAND,

TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL CADOGAN, KG.,

LORD LIEUTENANT-GENERAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OP IRELA.ND. ilAY IT PLEASE TOUR EXCELLENCY.

I respectfully beg to submit to your Excellency my Report, under the direction of the Right Honourable the Master of the Rolls, and pursuant to the 24th section of the Public Records (Ireland) Act, on the proceedings had during 1899 in connection with the Public Records in Ireland.

1. On the 10th. of June took place the death of John J. Digges La Touche, ll.d., the Deputy Keeper of the Records. Dr. Digges La Touche had been identified with the Record Ofiice from its foundation in 1867. Previously Clerk of Pleadings in the former Rolls Office of Chancery, he was appointed the first Assistant Deputy Keeper of the Records in the new Record Office. On the death of Sir Samuel Ferguson in 1886, he succeeded as Deputy Keeper. On the retirement of Sir J. Bernard Burke in 1892, he was appointed to the further office of Keeper of the State Papers.

Bringing to this Office in its infancy the knowledge and expe- rience stained in the chief of the former Record repositories in Ireland, the dut}' devolved on him of directing the archival train- ing and organising the clerical work of the new Office staff. Tliese duties he pursued with the object of producing work of most practical value to inquirers. Such Record publications as the Office has hitherto been able to issue through the medium of its annual Reports — the Calendar of the " Fiants," that of the Cluist Church Muniments, the Indexes to the Dublin Consistorial Act Books, and other reference works of less bulk — were planned, "■idertaken, and carried out under his direction, and often under ius uwn minutely accurate editorship. Besides these published

THE THIRTY-SECOND REPOHT OF THE DEPUTY KEEPKR

repertories, he directed the formation of a great number ot indexes, now placed in manuscript in the public Search Room, which have made available for reference many classes of Records formerly quite out of the reach of readers. Besides his archival work in the Office, he edited for the Huguenot Society a volume of Registers of the French Churches of St. Patrick and St. Mary, in Dublin.

An active officer, firmly maintaining discipline, Dr. Digges La Touche was, at the same time, a sterling friend to those employed under him. To them, as to the State he zealously served, his loss is great.

2. On June 2nd, a few days before Dr. Digges La Touche's decease, occurred the death of Mr. John Overend Overend, the Assistant Deputy Keeper of the Records. He had suffered for some time from serious illness, which caused his absence during most of the preceding winter. On the formation of the Record Office, Mr. Overend, then a clerk in the Court of Exchequer, was appointed to this Department to bring to its aid his knowledge and experience of the Records of the Courts of Common Law ; and he has done useful work in connection with them. He was promoted to be Assistant Deputy Keeper in 1889, on the death of Mr. William M. Hennessy.

3. Your Excellenc}'' was pleased to appoint me, previously the Senior Clerk in the Office, to be Deputy Keeper of the Public Records, and also Keeper of the State Papers, in succession to Dr. Digges La Touche ; and Mr. Henry FitzPatrick Berry, M.A., Barrister-at-Law, also a Senior Clerk in the Office, to be Assistant Deputy Keeper.

4. A further vacancy on the staff had arisen early in the year by the transfer of Mr. C. E. Royds to the offices of the Local Government Board in London. The three junior vacancies were filled only in October by the appointment of Mr. Alexander Flint, M.A. (Edinb.), Mr. Thomas Edwin Harvey, B.A. (Royal Univ.), and Mr. Samuel Watt, B.A. (Dubl.), successful candidates at the Civil Service Class I. Examination held in August.

5. The facilities offered to the Historical MSS. Commissioners (as noted in par. 3, 31st Report) have been availed of by them. Several volumes of papers from the collection of the Marquis of Ormonde have been deposited here, and examined in the office by one of the Commissioners' Inspectors. Dr. La Touche had, in 1898, expressed a wish that, in order to deal more satisfactorily with the papers left in our charge for the use of the Commissioners, someone on the staff of this Office should receive a recognised position in connection with them. The Commissioners, early in the year, with the approval of the Master of the Rolls, and with the consent of the Treasury, appointed me one of their Inspectors of Manuscripts.

6. In February, the sale by auction was announced of the great collection of manuscripts, chietiy State Papers, preserved by the Earls of Hardwicke. Among them was a very large mass of State papers, letters, and letter-books belonging to Philip, third earl, as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, 1801 to 1806. The attention

OF THE PUBIIC RECORDS IN IRELAND. 7

of Government was at once called by this Office to the import- ance of these papers, and permission was asked to bid for eighty- six lots, which appeared to include books and papers of the Irish Government, Your Excellency, with the sanction of the Treasury, authorised the purchase of these lots, within certain limits. The public sale, however, was not carried out, the British Museum having secured the entire collection by private contract before the day announced for sale.

7. A further instalment of the MSS. of the late Sir Thomas Phillipps was offered for sale in June. Only one lot relating to Ireland appeared to be of an official character making it proper to be preserved in this Office. This was, with the sanction of the Treasury, secured at the sale. It is entitled, " A book of the Survey of the county of Dublin, which hath been performed in pursuance of a contract made with the Honorable (Joramissioners for the assessment of the said county, dated the 20th of Jan., and now returned and finished by Thomas Taylor and Edward Lucas, May 25, 1G58."

8. In the fifth Report of the Deputy Keeper of the Records, sect. 28, it was noted that the unproved wills preserved at the District Registry of Kilkenny had been left in the registry. This fact was overlooked in later transfers from that registry until noticed during last year. The District Registrar, at my request, made a search, which resulted in finding two parcels of original wills, chiefly unproved. These have been received, and on examination were found to contain 1 58 wills of the Diocese of Ossory, 1664 to 1858 ; three wills of the Diocese of Leighlin, 1808 to 1818 ; one of the Diocese of Ferns, 1771 ; and fifteen un- proved wills lodged in Kilkenny District Registry, 1858 to 1864. They have been restored to their places in the several collections to which they belong, and entered in the proper indexes.

9. The publications of the Commissioners of Patents have, since the erection of this Office, been deposited here as received from time to time at the Record and Writ Office. They have been regularly arranged here and made accessible. The very small use made of them here induced Dr. La Touche to concur in the suggestion of the Commissioners to limit the papers sent, to those which, under section 100 of the Patents, Designs, and Trade Marks Act, 1883, are required to be lodged in the Record and Writ Office, with the addition of the Yearly Indexes. The sets of "Abridgment Volumes" and the "Illustrated Official Journal of Patents" are, therefore, no longer deposited here.

10. Judges' or Examiners' Notes on Title and Judges' Copies of Petitions in the Landed Estates Court, together with some volumes of Indexes to Records of that Court, were found to have been not included in the transfers made from that office. The Land Judge considering them necessary for the business of his offices, their retention has been sanctioned by a certificate of the Land Judge, under sub-section 4 of section 14 of the Records Act, 1867. Considerable public inconvenience having been felt from the want of the Indexes, these have, by arrangement with the Registrar, been transcribed here and the copies placed for public reference in the Search Room.

THE THIRTY-SECOND REPORT OF THE OEPtJTT KEEPER

Appendix.

11. The most numerous and extensive transfers of Records to this Office in recent years are those from the Offices of the Clerks of the Crown and Peace of the several counties. These Records were not named in the Public Records Act, 1867. Those, however, of most of the counties of Ireland have been brought within its scope by different Orders in Council in 1885 an(f subsequent years, under the 5th section of the Act, and thert are now but eight counties not so included in our operations. A Report on the Records received from these offices has been prepared by Mr. Herbert Wood, of this Department, and is printed as an Appendix to this Report.

Transfers.

12. There have been received in this Office during last year, under warrants of the Master of the Rolls, 1,220 volumes and 812 parcels or files of Records from the following Courts and Offices : —

They have been put in separate envelopes, occupying 171 zinc boxes. The collection of Unproved Wills f(jr same period, and the proved Wills for lb77 have been similarly dealt with. They occupy 12 and 41 boxes respec- tively. Thirty-four boxes of Wills of several Dioceses have been stamped.

<i7. i,lo6 Bankruptcy files in portfolios have been cleaned and stamped; and 1,495 portfolios labelled.

Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials in each parish. They had in most dioceses been very indifferently kept. All which came to this Office have been carefully arranged and made accessible, and ' they frequently prove valuable by supplying records of entries of which the original books have disappeared, and by explaining doubtful or defective entries. The returns, especially those from country parishes, are often on small or irregular strips of paper, liable to the danger of being mislaid wheji placed in the hands of readers. To secure them, it is intended to mount each of the small returns on a guard, and to bind those for each parish as a separate volume. This work has been commenced, and nineteen parishes have been mounted preparatory to binding.

Indexing and Calendaring.

72. Indexes have been made to six volumes of Registers of Consistory Acts of the Dioceses of Ardfert, Clonfert, Killala, and Killidoe.

7:3. The Inventories of the Prerogative Court, 1668-1858 ; Marriage Licence Bonds and Affidavits of the Diocese of Cloyne, 1801-1866 ; and Administration Bonds of the peculiar of the Dean of Lismore and of the Lordship of Newry and Mourne have been indexed, and made accessible to the public.

74. An Index has been made to the Marriage Licence Books of the Diocese of Dublin, 1672-1685, and 1713-1741 which were recovered in 1897 (XXX. Report, par. 1). -

75. An Index has been made to the Unproved Wills received here as lodged in the District Registries of the Court of Probate, 1858 to 1878.

76. Transcripts of the Indexes to the Records of the Landed Estates Court have been made from originals lent by the Land Judge's Registrar,*completing those in use here down to 1878.

77. Some progress has been made with the collation of the different Diocesan Indexes of Wills preliminary to the intended Consolidated Index. The collation of the Indexes for Cashel and Emly, Cork and Ross, Cloyne, Limerick, Raphoe, and Waterford and Lismore, has been completed during the year. The revised Indexes to the Wills of Clonfert and Ossory have been re-engrossed for public use.

78. An Index has been made to the collection of Council Office papers relating to Unions and Divisions of Parishes and Changes of Sites of Parish Churches, down to 1845.

P Anting of Calendars, Indexes, and Records.

79. Section 21 of the Public Records Act, 1867, founding this Office, placed prominently among the duties of the Department the printing " from time to time such Calendars, Catalogues, and Indexes of Records, and also such Records in the custody of the Master of the Rolls, as the Chief Secretary may select, or as the Master of the Rolls shall recommend as fit to be printed." With the exception of the long-completed Facsimiles of National

uui>ei'il>fc'^ of Ireland, this important branch of the work of the

Ice hus hitherto been represented only by the Appendixes to

le Annual Reports. This form of publication is in several

sixvcs inconvenient, and, as the means of publishing such work,

tor some years been entirelj' discontinued in the London

section has ever been in the view of the heads of the

-par:iiK'iit, and the hope of its realisation has been adverted to

•vcial of Sir Samuel Ferguson's early reports.

SO. A large amount of manuscript matter left by the former iih Ktcord Conmiission on its determination in 1830 was .rjinled by the Commissioners then as almost ripe for publi- tion. A closer acquaintance with this material shows it to be, jugh I UK [uestionably valuable for reference, yet very incomplete, id unsuitable in form for publication. The only group of this iteri;il tit in its present state for such use is that consisting of scripts and translations of the early Irish Statutes. Even se prove to be very imperfect. The task of revising and Epli'ting the text and translation as left by the Commissioners ur.dertaken by Dr. Digges La Touche, and much work for this irposL' was done under his direction. I feel it to be one of iy tirst duties to complete this work, and to have ready for press le material for a volume of the early Statutes of Ireland, when- rer your Excellency, with the consent of the Treasury, may see " to cause to be printed this most valuable contribution to the story ...f the country, as yet for the most part unpublished. The ity of preparing this work for press has been undertaken by [r. Berry, Assistant Deputy Keeper, and some progress has been lade.

81. I'^iot less important for historical research are the early i.sticiary Rolls, cuntaining entries of legal and other business )Mit'tiiues including proceedings in Parliament and orders of 16 Council) before the Capitalis Juaticiarius, the Chief Governor Ireland, in the course of his journeys through the country, [any of these Rolls were included in the collections for a ropcjsed publication of the. Plea and Memoranda Rolls by the "i-sli IN'Curd Commission. This work of the Commissioners is pr}' incomplete and unsuitable for publication, as has been united out in the Twenty-sixth Report of the Deputy Keeper, oi). As a j)reliminary to the preparation for press of a Calendar tlirstj Rolls, a full abstract of two of the earlier Rolls of I Ward I. was prepared during the year, and it is proposed to )ntinue this work.

There was published during the year " An Index to the ^xx. Rep. ^ct or ( li-aut Books and Original Wills of the Diocese of Dublin, par. 82. roiu ],s()() to ISo.S," as an Appendix to the 80th Report of the ■'eputy Keeper. This, a continuation of the similar Index to ^^"*>. j)nl)lished with the 26th Report, was prepared imder the ireetioii i,f Dr. Digges La Touche, and the greater part was r^««ed through the press by him.

yi. The Incumbent of Caliy reported the finding of a book of loose leaves — a Register of Marriages, 1838—5. This had been returned in the original inventory of the Records of the pariah, but wiu not forthcoming when the books were transferred to this Ortice. It has now been sent up and deposited with the other Kccords of the parish here.

1,S2!)-1849

'.)?». A statement, made by a private person, led to inquiries which showed that a Register of the Parish of Dunkerrin, Count}" Tip[»eraiy, which was included in the original Inventory and Retention Order, is no longer in the hands of the Incumbent. A lengthened correspondence and inquiries in various quarters have not as yet led to its being found. This case affords another instance of the danger which attends the local custody of Records, even with every precaution provided by the Acts strenuously enforced. The Records of this parish were committed to the care of the Incumbent in 1879. Every year since, as required Ijy the Act, the successive Incumbents have reported that the Records were all safe. Yet, apparently all this time the earliest volume described in the order was wanting, and it remained for a private applicant to give the information of its absence.

It is only just to say, that, though occasional instances of great neglect come under notice, the vast majority of the clergy show every care for their charge, and a willing-ness loyally to carry out the requirements of the Acts.

94. It may be suggested that the safety of the older Parish Records might be secured, without to any large extent defeating the intention of the Act of 1876, by encouraging Incumbents charged with the custody of Records under Retention Orders, while they retain the later more frequently consulted books, say, for the last seventy years, to deposit in this OiEce the earlier volumes, which need more care, are of le.'^s use locally, and are more difficult to search and to read by persons inexperienced in consultiniy records.

(i.) Seventy-one carton boxes of State Papers for the year 1889. These have been examined, labelled, and replaced in 52 canons (Nos. 3-1-59 to 3510.)

(ii.) Papers relating to appointments of Sheriffs for the years 1876, 1879 to 1889. These have been arranged, noted in the Registers, and restored to their proper places in the cartons.

28 THE THIRTY-SECOND REPORT OF THE DEPDTY KEEPER

96. The Searches made for the Chief Secretary's Office during the year numbered 262.

97. Owing to the vacancies in the Office Staff, the work of re-arranging and calendaiing the older papers was much inter- rupted. The Calendar of Miscellaneous Papers, 1760-89, was advanced, and nearly completed ; and some progress has been made with the final arrangement and Calendar of the Papers for 1790-1819. The Relief Commission Papers, 184-5-47, have been arranged and made up in brown paper parcels.

OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS IN IRELAND. 29

APPENDIX.

Report of Mr. Herbert Wood on the Rkoords of the Clerks of the Crownt ;ind Peace transfei-red prior to 1900.

The Office of Clerk of the Crown and Peace was originally granted by letters patent from the Crown, and was held for life, good behaviour, or during pleasure. The grantee or grantees often held the office for a whole province, and had the right of appointing depvities. The Patent of the Clex'k of the Crown always contained an express grant of the office of Clerk of the Peace ; * though in some few cases the latter was granted separately by the Crown. By the Act 37 Henry VIII., c. 1 (English), it was enacted that the power of appointment to the Peace Office should lie in the hands of the Cuscos Rotulorum in each county or city. That this Act was not immediately extended to Ireland is evident from the fact that, in the reign of Charles I., we find several instances of grants of the office of Clerk of the Peace made by the Crown.

In the next century, Mr. Whichcote, who received letters patent from the Crown for the office of Clerk of the Crown (which, as usual, included the office of Clerk of the Peace) for the province of Leinster in 1724, complained that soon after his appointment the Custodes Rotulorum of several counties in that province appointed their own Clerks of the Peace. The law officers were ordered to ascertain the truth of the case ; but I cannot discover that any decision was arrived at.

The Custodes Rotulorum exddently continued to appoint their own deputies, for in 1794 John Pollock was appointed Clerk of the Crown and Peace for the province of Leinster, but his claim to the Clerkship of the Peace was opposed by several Custodes Rotulorum. Tliey were proceeded against by the Attorney-General, who filed an information ex-officio against them. In Hilary term, 1799, the Court of King's Bench gave judgment against the Crown. Mr. Pollock, how- ever, in 1818, proceeded to take action in the Court of Common Pleas against a Mr. Harding, who had been appointed to the Clerkship of the Peace for the King's County by the Gustos Rotulorum in 1789. Whilst this action was pending, an Act was passed (1 Geo. IV., c. 27) assimilating the Irish to the English usage, i.e., giving the Custos the power of appointing the Clerk of the Peace for his coimty, and making the office tenable during good behaviour only, with, power to the Magistrates to dismiss the holder of such office in case of mis- demeanour, and to make the election themselves, should the Custos fail to do so. Soon after this Act was passed, the case of Pollock v. Harding was decided by the Court of Common Pleas declaring that the power of appointment was vested in the Crown (Mich., 1821).

A further Bill was accordingly prepared to extend the former Act so as to include those Clerks of the Peace whose appointment prior

• The reason wliv the srant of the office of Clerk of the Teare was Mlwa^ s contninod in the patent, of Clerk of the Crown was. probably, that the Clerk of the Crowii must ho Clrrk of the Peace at eanh Assize. ^11 Commissions of the Peace bemg suspended whilht the Commission of Assize was being held.

to 1820 would be affected by the recent decision against Harding, but such Bill docs not appear to have been passed into law. How- ever, with two or three exceptions, the two offices were held separately, the Clerk of the Crown being appointed by the Crown, and the Clerk of the Peace by the Custos Rotulorum of the county, till 1877, when, by the Act 40 & 41 Vic, c. 56, it was provided that, in any county or county of a city, upon the death or resignation of either Clerk, the two offices should, as soon as possible, be amalgamated.

CROWN OFFICE.

The Clerk of the Crown may be regarded as the Clerk of the Court of Assize, as well as the Secretary to the Grand Jury for criminal business. His duties are various, arising partly at Common Law, and pai'tly out of a series of legislative enactments. Tliey may be enumerated as follows : —

i. Criminal. — His duties, under this head, consist of receiving and preserving all informations, examinations and recognizances of the Ma^strates; di'awing up bills of indictment in cases in which they have not been prepared by the Crown Sohcitor, or for private individuals; swearing the Grand Jury, and attending them with the indictments ; attending the Crown Court, arraigning the prisoners, entering on record all pleas, orders and proceedings of the Court in the Crown Book ; swearing and examining the several witnesses on the trials ; preparing and keeping all records of the Assizes ; preparing all warrants necessary for the trans- mission of prisoners, the execution of offenders, &c.

ii. Fiscal. — It was the duty of the Clerk of the Crown to file and keep all affidavits, maps, plans and estimates for grounding any presentments or affidavits accounting for public money; to deliver copies of all presentments to the Grand Jurors, and of all discharged queries to the Treasurer of the Coiiuty ; to make out queries on all presentments of the Grand Jury ; to record the fiat of the Judge ; to receive traverses, &c. The Local Government (Ireland) Act, 61 & 62 Vic, c. 37, s. 14, has recently deprived the Clerk of the Crown of the above duties by transferring all the fiscal business of the county to the Coimty Councils.

iii. Coroners' Inquests. — All inquests held by Coroners are returned to the Clerk of the Crown, with the depositions, examina- tions, &c, prior to the ensuing Assizes.

iv. Civil. — These duties were those of Registrar of the Civil Bill side of the Assize Court, in which decrees, dismisses, renewals and appeals were heard under the Acts 2 Anne c. 18, and 1 Geo. II. c. 14. In 1796, when this business was handed over to the Assistant Barrister at Quarter Sessions, the Registrarship devolved upon the Clerk of the Peace.

V. Misrellnneniis. — Tliese consist of making up and retmming all estreats into the Exchequer; receiving and keeping printed copies of the registiy books of the freeholders of the county, which the Clerk of the Peace was required to furnish him with at eveiy Spring Assizes; producing sxich printed copies at every election of Members of Parliament, if required ; making returns in obedience to orders of Parlia- ment ; occasionally taxing costs, &c. Some of the above duties are now obsolete.

KEKfER OFTHK PUBLIC RECORDS IN IRELAND. 31

The Clerk of the Crown of the Queen's Bench is the officer of the Queen's Bench (Crown Side), which possesses original jurisdiction in criminal matters and superintendence over inferior jurisdictions •onnected with the preservation of the peace. The Judges of this Court are the Chief Conservators of the Peace, and Supreme Coroners throuo"hout Ireland. Presentments by the Grand Jxirors of the countv and city of Dubhn were formerly made in the King's Bench, io that the Clerk of the Crown of the King's Bench, besides his other duties, performed the functions, both fiscal and criminal, of the Clerk of the Crown, for the above county and city. In 1729, to leHevc the pressure on the gaols through the increase of crime, a Commi.ssion Coiu't of Oyer and Terminer was created for the county ;ind city of Dublin, and sat in the King's Bench. The Officer of the King's Bench continued to discharge the office of Clerk to such Com- mission till 1794, when he was obliged to resign his duties, as far as the Court of Oyer and Terminer was concerned, to John Pollock, who claimed it as grantee of the office of Clerk of the Crown for the province of Leinster. The former continued, however, to perform the fiscal duties attendant on his office till, by the Act of 7 & 8 Vic, c. 106 (1844) such duties for the county of Dublin were handed over to the Clerk of the Crown for Leinster, whilst, a few years lat-er, by the Act 12 (& 13 Vic, c 97, s. 42, all the fiscal powers of the Grand Jmy for the city of Dublin were transferred to the Municipal Council of Dublin. The Clerk of the Municipal Council, however, was obliged each year to lodge with the Clerk of the Crown of the Qiieen's Bench a schedule of such appUcations with respect to Grand Jury Cess as were approved of by the Coimcil, to be fiated by the Judge. Tliis last connecting link between the Queen's Bench and the financial adminis- tration of the city ha-s recently been severed by the Local Government (Ireland) Act.

PEACE OFFICE.

The office of Clerk of the Peace grew out of the Commissions appointing Justices of the Peace. These were at first issued in England under the Act 18 Ed. III., stat. 2, c. 2, " to hear and deter- mine felonies and trespasses done against the Peace." Previous to this Act these Justices were called Conservators or Guardians of the Peace. By the Act 36 Ed. III., c 12, it was enacted that, in their commissions, they should be authorised to hold sessions on foiu- stated seasons of the year. This was the origin, of Quarter Sessions. The Magistrates' commissions gave them jxirisdiction over all crimes affecting the public peace, excepting treasons. Felonies and trespasses were m_entioned. but by the Acts 1 &; 2 Philip and ^lary, c 13, and 10 Car, I., c IS, the Justices were ordered to for- ^v;trcl cases of felonies (except petty larcenies) to the Assizes. Cases 'f assaults, riots, rescues of cattle or goods taken for di-stress, and trespass attended with violence, came within their jurisdiction. Although the earlier Acts were adopted in Ireland only by the Act 10 Henrv VII., Commissions of the Peace had been recognised m this countrv long before, as the following passage in the Irish Act of -S Henrv VI., c 2, will show : " saving the commissions made or to l»f' made to Justices or Keepers of the Peace after the old custom. ' Bolides these regular Quarter Sessions, Special Sessions have at various times been authorised to be held for the execution of some particular branch of magisterial duty, such as the registration of free- holders, presentment sessions, &c.

32 APPENDIX TO THIRTY-SECOND REPORT OF THE DEPUTY

In consequence of the disturbed state of the country at the end of the eighteenth centui-y, some counties were, for their easier administra- tion, divided into districts under an Act of 1787, and a Barrister of not less than six years' standing appointed to assist the Justices in the administration of justice. This plan was found so eflFectual that the procedure was extended to other coimties. In the appointment of an Assistant Barrister, he was made a Magistrate virtute officii, but it was left to the cUscretion of the other magistrates to make him chairman or not; but, with few exceptions, this appears to have been regularly done. A similar authority had been held by the Recorder of the city of Dublin, and other cities with a criminal jurisdiction, for a long time previously.

Soon afterwards, in 1 796, the jurisdiction in ordinary Civil Bill cases was transferred from the Judges at Assizes and the Sheriffs to the Assistant Barrister, and the Clerk of the Peace became his Registrar.

In the same year, by the Act 36 George III., c. 20, s. 17, magis- trates were authorised to hold Petty Sessions in proclaimed districts. The convenience of such an arrangement apparently caused the system of Petty Sessions Courts to be extended to other districts. The procedure was improved by the Act 7 and 8 George IV., c. 67, by which the magistrates could divide the counties into districts for such a purpose. They were to forward all informations and recog- nizances to the Clerks of the Crown and Peace once every month, and the Statute required that, in any magisterial act, two Justices should concur.

The criminal and civil jurisdiction of the Magistrates and Assistant Barristers was gradually extended from time to time. Amongst the more important extensions of the Assistant Barristers' civil authority may be noted the following. In 1816, by the Act 56 George III., c. 38, ejectment proceedings were to be taken before the Assistant Barrister, and in 1827, by the Act 7 and 8 George IV., c. 69, replevin cases were to be tried before liim. By the Act 6 and 7 William IV., c. 75, the Assistant Barrister was given an equitable jimsdiction in cases involving legacies or distributive shares, where the amount was small. The Act of 14 and 15 Vic, c. 57, (1851), gave him the right to hear and decide insolvency petitions, which had formerly been tried by Commissioners. In 1857, by the Probate Act, 20 and 21 Vic, c 79, all contentious matters as to grants of probate or administration, where the amount in dispute did not exceed a certain limit, were brought within his jurisdiction. In 1858, by the Act 21 and 22 Vic, c. 88, s. 3, it wa^ ena-cted that Assistant Barristers should henceforth be styled Chairmen of Quarter Sessions. In 1870, by the Landlord and Tenant (Ireland) Act, 33 & 34 Vic, c 46, cases relating to the occupation and ownership of land in Ireland were to be decided by them. The title of Chairmen of Quarter Sessions was again altered in 1877, when, by the Act 40 & 41 Vic, c 56, various changes were made in the jurisdiction and status of the County Courts and County Officers, amongst others being the alteration in the style of Chairmen, other than Recorders, to the title of " County Court Judges and Chairmen of Quarter Sessions." The most important change effected by this Act was the partial devolution of the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery upon the Civil Bill Courts, wliereby proceedings connected ^vith the execution of trusts, mortgage charges, sale or partition of property, partnerships, infants. Married Woman's Property (1870) Act, Trustees' Relief Acts, legacy

antl .uiuiinistration matters, (tc, where the personal property does not ^xct"'«l £^00, and the real property £30 annually, are to be taken before the County Court Judge, who is invested with all the powers of a Jutli^e of tlie High Coiirt of Chancery therein.

By the above Act the offices of the Clerks of the Crown and Peace in each county were to be amalgamated on the death or retirement of either, and the future holder of the joint office was to be a civil stn-ant, and appointed by the Lord Lieutenant.

In cities and towns which are counties in themselves, the position of Assistant Barrister is held by the Recoi-der. Tliese separate criuiuial and civil jurisdictions held by Coi^porations were formerly nior(.- numerous. The only Recorderships now existing in Ireland are those oi the cities of Dublin, Cork, Belfast, and Londonderry, and the town of Galway.

Tlio duties of the Clerk of the Peace are as follows: —

i. Criminal. — Tliese include the receiving and preserving all in- formations, examinations and recognizances forwarded by the Magistrates; preparing bills of indictment on all in- formations; posting-notices of times of sessions; preparing the precept for the Quarter Sessions; getting it signed by two Magistrates, and delivered to the Sheiiff; entering all indictments, &c.. in the Crown Book ; calling over and swearing the Grand Jiuy, prosecutors, and witnesses for the CroviTi ; estreating recognizances and making a retiun to the Exchequer, (fee.

ii. Fiscal. — The Clerk of the Peace formerly attended at Special Sessions held under the Road Presentment Act, entered the approval or disapproval of the Magistrates on all applications as ordered, and discharged or respited Queries as the Bench should direct.

iii. Civil Bill Court. — As the Clerk of the Peace was the Registrar of this Court, he had to prepare all summonses, decrees, &c., in cases of Civil Bills, Renewals, Ejectments, Probate and Legacy cases, and keep registers recording the cases with the decisions of the Assistant Barrister. Records of Civil Bill cases decided by the Seneschals of the Manors were also lodged with him. The office of Registrar of the Civil Bill Court has recently been separated from that of Clerk of the Peace, by the Act 40 & 41 Vic, c. 56.

iv. Miscellaneous. — The miscellaneous duties of the Clerk of the Peace have comprised not only those where he is acting as Clerk to the Assistant Barrister or to the Magistrates acting magisterially, such as the registration of Freeholders, Votei-s. Jurors, Arms, Blacksmiths, ifec. ; insolvency cases ; election of Treasurers, High Constables, Petty Sessions Clerks, &c. ; the issuing of certificates for publicans' licences on the orders of the Magistrates, (fee. ; but also those duties imposed upon him personally by Act of Parliament, such as the receipt of notices of Meeting-houses, Printing presses, Jesuits ; Manor Court papers. Poor Law Commissioners' orders, Fishery papers, Boundary notices, Trees Affidavits ; Maps, Plans, and Awards; preparation of Jurors' and Voters' Lists, Militia Returns, ifec. Several of the above duties are now obsolete.

necessary for every one who had arms in his possession to notify to the Clerk of the Sessions or Peace the number of arms which he kept, and to state his belief that he was qualified to keep them. After so doing, on appearing before a Magistrate, he could obtain a certificate or licence. By tlie Act 6 it 7 Yict., c. 74, Notifications were replaced by Applications, or Notices to the Clerk of the Peace that applicant intended to apply to the magis- trates at the ensuing sessions for a licence to keep arms.

If not, it is either called a " no bill," when there is not sufficient evidence against the accused, or an " unconsidered bill." The number on the bill is the same as the number of the entry in the Crown Book, which contains an abstract of each bill of indictment.

As a notice of his petition was necessarily inserted in the Gazette, copies of the Gazettes are often to be found amongst Insolvents' papers at this period. By the Act 1 & 2 George IV., c. 59 (1821), this jurisdiction was transfeiTcd from the Assistant Barrister to the Commissioners in Insolvency, who travelled i"oimd the country to try cases.

These were formerly annual lists or returns made by the high constable and collector of grand jury cess (upon receiving a precept from the Clerk of the Peace), enumerating those who were qualified to serve as jurors, with their residence, title or profession, and qualification. These lists were then revised by the magistrates, and copied into books by the Clerks of the Peace for the use of the Sheriffs. But from "1871 (34 & 35 Vic, c. 65) the returns have been made out by the Clerks of the Union, or the Collector General for the city of Dublin ; and the Clerk of the Peace, upon receipt of these returns separates them into general and special lists. Tliey are then revised by the Chairman of Quarter Sessions, and copies are printed. The above class consists not only of the Clerks of the Unions' returns, and Chairmen's amended lists, but also of warrants issued by the Lord Lieutenant for the holding of special sessions for the revision of jurors' lists, on account of the sessions appointed by the magistrates having been abortive, through non-attendance of magistrates, &c. ; also correspondence with Dublin Castle with respect to such warrants.

DECLARATIONS, &c., 1785—1878.

By the Act 23 George III., c. 30, in order to prevent improper people from becoming magistrates, it was enacted that any new magistrate should take the oath of having a sufficient property to qualify him for the post. By the Act 59 George III., c. 84, it was enacted that no magistrate should act in such capacity at the Road Presentment Sessions without taking an oath of qualification, and of intention to faithfully fulfil his duty. By the Act 3 & 4 William rV., c. 78, s. 6, a ntunber of Cess Payers, not more than twelve or less than five, were to be appointed by the Grand Jury to act with the magistrates at such Presentment Sessions, and both magis- trates and Cess Payers had to take an oath of intention to faith- fully perform their duty. By the Act 6 & 7 WiUiam IV., c. 116, this oath was altered to a declaration. With these oaths and declarations will be found lists or certificates by the Chairman at these Sessions, of the names of the magistrates and cess payers who were present and made the declaration. — See also " Present- ment Papers," amongst which, in a few cases, these oaths and declarations were kept, though they should be lodged with the Clerk of the Peace.

MANOR COURT RECORDS, .... 1785—1859.

In 1785. by the Act 25 George III., c. 44, jurisdiction in civil bill matters was given to the seneschals of manors " for the more speedy and easy recovery of small debts." These manor court records consist mostly of copies of the seneschal's registers of decrees made by him in civil bill and court baron proceedings, which he was obliged to lodge with the Clerk of the Peace under the above Act. Appeals against his decisions were made to the Judges at Assize, or. in the case of the county and city of Dublin, to the Judges at JVisi Priiis. The distinction between the civil bill procedure of the Seneschals and Assistant Barristers lay chiefly in the fact that cases before the former were tried by a

MAYORS', RECORDERS', OR PROVOSTS' COURT RECORDS. The Record Court was the chief coiurt of civil jurisdiction in a city or borough. By some corporations the jurisdiction was claimed by prescriptive right, in others it was founded expressly by charter. It was presided over by the chief magistrate, while the Recorder was at first only an adviser or assessor, but after- wards sat as sole judge (3 & 4 Vic, c 108, s. 175). No action could be brought in this Court for a less sum than forty shilhngs (Irish cm-rency). Actions for smaller sums were to be brought in the Court of Conscience. Tlie proceedings in the Record Courts were initiated by actions against persons, attachments against goods, or foreign attachments against goods in a third person's hands. In the forms and course of pleading, the Court observed the prac- tice of the superior courts. Tlie Marshal and Serjeant at Mace ron-esponded to the Sheriff and Process Servers respectively m tlie counties. The records of these courts consisted of : —

By the Act 10 George IV., c. 7, s. 2, a new form of allegi- ance oath (omitting the declaration against transubstantiation) was rendered obligatoiy, but only upon Roman Catholics desiring to fill any office or become an elector. After taking the oath, the roll was signed, and finally in most cases was sent up to the Rolls Office (see Search Room Index, Court of Chancer}'-, Vol. 2).

In order to aid the rec-overy of poor rates in Ireland, it was en ;icLt.d by 12 k 13 Vic, c. 104, s. 17, that any poor rate decree of an xVssistaut Barrister, vouched for by the aliidavit of an attorney, and produced in a Superior Court, should have the force of a judgment in such Court, and could be registered as such. Accordingly, we have poor rate decrees, attorneys' affidavits, regis- ters of such decrees so lodged, and enrolments of judgments, in the records of the Common Law Courts. Tlie present practice is to make an entry of the decree in the Judgment Book, and not to preserve the decree itself, as formerly.

>RESENT3IENT PAPERS, 1722—1878.

These papers comprise all the documents connected with the fiscal admmistration of the county by the Grand Jury. The Grand j^jj-^,^ which is selected by the High Sheriff, has possessed, from thee'arUest times, not only a jurisdiction in criminal cases, imder which it decides what bills of indictment are to go before a petit jarv at Assizes or Quarter Sessions, but also in fiscal matters, as all luthority connected with the making and repairing of public roads, Iniildings, &c., and the raising of a county oess to pay for *uch expenditure, has been vested in that body till 1898, when this tiscal jm-isdiction was merged in the County Councils by the Local Government (Ireland) Act, 61 & 62 Vic, c. 37. The chief officers of the Grand Jun.- were a Secretary, a Treasurer to keep the accounts and make the payments, a County Surveyor, and High Constables to collect the county cess. Any application for public works, such as the making or repairing of roads, bridges, paths, &c., was made first to the magistrates and cess payers assembled at Pre- sentment Sessions. The maps and specifications were examined, and, if the application was approved of, tenders for contract were invited, which were considered at an adjourned sessions. The schedules of the applications and contracts finally accepted were printed and laid before the Grand Jurors at the next Assizes, and if they also approved of them, and the Judge fiated them, the con- tract \vas completed. If, however, there was any objection raised to a presentment, it was done by a " traverse," which was heard before the Judge at Assizes. After a presentment had been finally approved, it appeared at the next Assizes as a Query, and if the work, or a given portion of it, had been com- pleted in the meantime, and the County Surveyor had issued his certificate that the work had been duly performed, it was then marked "allowed" by the foreman of the Grand Jury, and pay- ment was made by the County Treasurer. If not, it appeared as an undischarged Query in the Grand Warrant for that Assizes, and succeeding Assizes, till the necessary conditions for payment had Ijeen fulfilled. But although papers connected with the above proceedings form the great bulk of " Presentment Papers, there are also included papers in connection with the regular main- tenance of county buildings, officers, hospitals, lunatic asylums, &c. Tlie following list comprises the most important of the documents classed as " Presentment Papers" : —Applications for the construc- tion of public works, applications for payment, county surveyors certificates, specifications and maps, cess payers' lists and retiims. coroners' returns and certificates, contractors' bonds, constables expenses constables" (high) bonds and warrants of attorney, county officers' salaries and rent of county buildings, dog licence returns, accounts of fees of sheriffs, gaolers, clerks of the crown and peace, general valuation expenses, inspector-general and local inspector's reports of gaols and bridewells, malicious injury petitions, hospital, dispensarv and lunatic asylums accounts, prisoners' returns (bride- well), petitions to Grand Jury, printers' bonds and tenders, Public Works' relief certificates, rate collectors' bonds, treasurers accounts traverses, remuneration of inspector of weights and measures, ana witnesses' and prosecutors' expenses.

But, by the Probate Act 20 & 21 Vic, c. 79, in cases where the deceased's personalty was under £200, and his real property under £300, all contentious jurisdiction as to grants of probate or administration has been given to the Assistant Barrister, whose decree is communicated to, and acted on by, the District Registrar.

However, the " Renewal Decree Books," or, in default of them, tht " Civil Bill Books," contain lists of those cases in whioh renewal decrees have been made.

SCHEDULE II.

The following is a list of documents found amongst the records of the Clerks of the Crown and Peace, but which do not properly belong to their collections.

Many documents of a private nature will also be found under " Miscellaneous " and " Deeds " (see Schedule I.), which it is impossible to satisfactorily separate from the documents propei'ly belonging to the Crown and Peace officers : —

THE THIRTY-THIRD REPORT

OF THE

; . I DEPUTY SEEPEE OE THE PUBLIC EECORDS

AND KEEPER OF THE STATE PAPERS " ^r' IN IRELAND.

%l TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL ^" CADOGAN, K,G.,

LORD LIEUTENANT-GENERAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND.

Mat it please tour Excellenct.

I respectfully beg to submit my Report, under the direction of fhe Right Honourable the Master of the Rolls, and pursuant to the 24th section of the Public Records (Ireland) Act, on the proceedings had during the year 1900 in connexion with the Public Records of Ireland.

i. The valuable series of seventeenth century maps of Ireland preserved in this Office have, through the courtesy of His Majesty's Commissioners of Woods, Forests, and Lana Revenues, received an important addition by the presentation of a large map of the " Government of Athlone," which, with other maps and manuscripts of the Headfort Collection, was acquired by the Commissioners in 1837 from the then repre- sentative of Sir Thomas Taylor, who was deputy Surveyor- General of Ireland in the reign of Charles II. The map, which y^2i6 of very large size, consisted of several Barony maps of the l)own Survey, with similar contemporary maps of about the southern half of the County of Roscommon, of which county no other such maps are known to exist. Prom long exposure in former times the map had become so much discoloured and injured as to be in its then state of little use. The Roscommon portion, especially, being drawn on inferior paper, has suffered greatly. The importance and historical interest of the maps, ,'" as well as the desire of making them available for purposes of 7'«nore general research, induced Mr. Stafford Howard, c.b., the ^ Commissioner in charge of the Land Revenues in Ireland,

6 THE THIRTY-THIRD REPORT OF THE DEPUTY KEEPER

-thrcmg-li Mr. J. Harper Scaife, the representative of tLo Com. missioners in Ireland, to present the map to this Office, aullieiui. cated copies being made for the use of thie Land llevenue» Department. The large map has been, as far as possible, care fully cleaned, re-mounted, and bound here, separated, iu the process, into its original component parts.

2. The Commissioners bad also acquired a number of Baronv maps, which, though of the same age and cbaracter, diiter in detail from the record series of the Do"wti Survey. These appear to be, some duplicates, others, early copies of the series of Down Survey maps prepared for Sir "William Petty, and whicb, in 1787, were copied in the Bibliotheque Royale at Paris by Col. Yailancey, for tbe Irisb Government, to supply the defects caused by the disastrous fire of ] 711, in the Reconl set of tbe Down Survey. Mr. Howard, tbrougb Mr. Scaife, ban generously offered to this Office, for better preservation and more general utility, the Barony maps in the Land Eevenue Office, on tbe like condition of being supplied with copies for use of tbat Office. The offer bas been gratefully accepted as TO those maps, which appear to be duplicates of the originals. and, therefore, of more value than tbe Yailancey copies already preserved bere. The task of preparing tbe copies has been kindly undertaken by Major Ilaynes, r.e., of the Ordnance Survey Office, with the consent of the Treasury. This work was in progress at the end of 1900.

o. Among the Headfort Collection acquired by the Tmi- missioners of Woods and Forests are also tbe volumes of tlie Civil Survey for many of the counties of Ireland. Tbis survey consists of returns made in 1654—5 of tbe extent and vriliie of tbe forfeited lands, and contains many facts not noted in the particulars and tables accompanying the subsequent inappi'd Down Survey. Mr. Howard, at tbe instance of Mr. Scaife, Las most generously offered to make these Records also available to the public by placing them bere, on the same condition, that copies should be furnished for use in the Land Revenues Office Tbe transcription of the books for Co. Donegal bas been com- pleted, and tbat of Co. Dublin was in progress a( the end of ]900.

4. Tbe Right Hon. the Earl Annesley having informed me that there were, in bis library, a number of MS. hooks whicb he believed to be of a public cbaracter, I visited Castle* App. I wellan and examined them. I found fifty-one MS volumes of a public nature, of whicb a brief catalogue is printed in tw . Appendix. Three of the volumes appear to have been origin- ally books of the Irish Exchequer ; twenty-seven belonged t* the Trustees of Forfeited Estates, 1700-3, of which body Francii Annesley, an ancestor of Lord Annesley, was an active member. Twenty-one volumes form a remarkably fine set of the boot* of " Survey and Distribution," showing the disposition, unde? Charles II., of the ownership of the lands forfeited under the

OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS IN IRELAND. 7

Conimouwealt]i. Other similar, but not identical, sets are pre- served in this Office, in the Land Eevenues Office, and in the Library of the Royal Irish Academy. Several of the Trustees' IJooks are duplicates of books here ; others, however, would prove a desirable addition to the Records relating to that Board preserved in this Office. It is to be wished that these, as well as the three Exchequer books, should be placed with the similar Records in public custody. The books liave been judiciously cared, and admirably preserved by Lord Annesley and his ancestors.

5. In the earlier part of the nineteenth century a practice became very common of having marriages celebrated in Dtiblin by degraded or unlicensed ordained clergymen of the Estab- lished Church. The practice was put an end to by the ^Marriage Act of 1844. Soon after that date Mr. John Samuels, the Registrar of the Archbishop, to secure them from being lost, purchased some of the books of entries kept by these persons. Later, his son, Mr. Arthur Samuels, secured several more. On the death of Mr. J. H. Samuels, the Archbishop's late Registrar, the books were offered by his representatives to this Office, and

. they were last year purchased with the consent of the Lords of the Treasury. The books are estimated to contain notes of some thirty thousand marriages, of which, in most cases, no other record exists ; and all ranks and creeds seem to have taken advantage of this expeditious and generally inexpensive method of celebrating marriages. The entries are generally carelessly made. An index to these books is in course of pre- paration.

6. The Registrar of the Estate Duty Office, having stated that he held a number of old attested copies of Wills, offered to submit them for examination, to test if the originals had in all cases been returned to this Office. Those of 1812 have been examined, and were found to contain one the original of which has not been identified. It is proposed to continue the examination.

. 7. Mr. T. Pakenham Law, k.c, has deposited here, under section 16 of the Public Records Act, an original indenture dated 28th Oct., 1639, between Dorraghan M'Cooge and Philip Regoe, conveying lands in Co. Galway.

8. Mr. G. S. Cary informed me that he had purchased at the sale of the library of a local antiquary a number of Visitation Books of the Diocese of Cashel, for various years between 1664 and 1772, which originally belonged to the Registry of the Diocese. Mr. Cary has placed some of the books here, and has generously promised, ultimately, to present the collection to the Office.

9. Mr. T. George H. Green has deposited a Visitation Book of the Diocese of Dublin, 1841, which had been purchased by him.

THE THIRTY-THIRD REPORT OF THE DEPUTY KEEPER

Bep. xxxli„ par. 80-1.

10. A vacancy has been caused in the upper staff by- transfer of Mr. S. Watt to the office of the Irish Local Govei ment Board. The vacancy had not been filled at the end 1900. One searcher and one "workman, who were Reserve me were called out to the war, and their places were kept ope The former has returned to duty; the latter died in Sou^ Africa.

11. With the approval of the Master of the Rolls, and the sanction of the Treasury, two of the clerks have been engaged! outside office hours on work for the Historical MvSS. Com^ mission, under the superintendence of Mr. C. Litton FalkinerJ one of the Inspectors of Manuscripts under the Commission. M

12. The Lords of the Treasury have consented to the incres of the pay of the inferior workmen from 155. to 18^. a week,^ reduction of one to be made in their number on next vacanc

13. The convenience of Readers has been consulted in erection by the Board of Works, at my request, of dressinL rooms and lavatories for lady and gentlemen Readers in coal nexion with the Literary Search Room.

14. In November I had the honour to submit to y«x Excellency's Chief Secretary, a scheme, approved by the Mast of the Rolls, for a series of Irish Record publications, suggested in my last annual Report.

15. Attention has been called to the fact that many of tl earlier Reports of the Deputy Keeper of the Records in Irels are now out of print. Before any proposal to reprint them _ adopted I venture to suggest that as these Reports contain sonw matters that are not of permanent importance, or that han been superseded by later information, the desired object migl be attained, at once more conveniently and economically, reprinting in separate form such Indexes and Calendars as _-, contained in the Reports out of print, and by embodying so much other matter as may be of present and permanent value in a general Guide to the Records of Ireland.

16. At the request of the Record Branch of the General Post^ Office, London, transcripts were made for, and at the expense"" of that Department, of tlie Lotter-books of the Chief Secretary's" Office, Ireland, preserved here, relating to the business of the' Irish Postal Service.

17. A map of the Curragh of Kildare, transferred from the' Office of the Clerk of the Peace of that county, which, under the Curragh of Kildare Act, (1SG8), was directed to remain in that Office, and of whirli a copy was also received here from the Rolls Office, was, at the request of the Clerk of the Peace returned to his care by order of the Master of the Rolls.

Rep. xxxli., pax. 94.

84. A consolidated index to th.e Wills and Grants of the Court of Probate, 1858—1877, has been drafted, and is in process of arrangement. Tbe index made to papers relating to Unioag and Divisions of Parishes ; and that to Unproved Wills from District Registries, have been engrossed for public use.

85. The work of indexing the Irregular Marriage Regisiers which have been recently acquired (see par. 5), has been com- menced.

86. A catalogue of the printed books in the library of fhig Department has been prepared.

Printing of Calendars, Indexes, and Records.

87. Pending the receipt of authority to print the works sug- gested in my last report, progress has been made in preparing for press the text and translation of the Early Statutes, and in calendaring the Justiciary Rolls of the reign of Edward I.

Proceedings under Parochial Records Acts.

88. The Registers of Baptisms, Marriages, and Burials of fifteen parishes which had become attachable under 38 & 39 T'ic, c. 69, by the death or resignation of the Incumbents, were included in the warrants of the Master of the Rolls for transfer to this Office. In four of these cases the books have been removed here ; in six others they are retained in their parishes under Orders made under 39 & 40 Yic, c. 58 ; while five cases await completion of adequate arrangements in the parishes. The Records of S. Bridget, Dublin, also have been transferred,: the building in which they were kept having been taken down, and the Retention Order previously made being consequently cancelled.

89. In two cases Incumbents holding books under Retention Orders have adopted the suggestion made in my last Report of the desirability of securing the greater safety and increased utility of the older parish books by placing them in this Office. In one case — Shrule, diocese of Ardagh — the earliest register in a very fragmentary state, has been deposited here; in the second case the transfer was not completed until after the close of the year.

91. Tlie parishes whose Records were included in warrants for j-ausfer, but which keep them under Retention Orders, are : — Christ Church, Leeson Park, Dublin : Holy Trinity, Killiney ;

iver and Larne ; Killeshin ; Ealrush ; and S. Laurence and [oly Trinity, Limerick.

92. The number of Retention Orders, permitting the reten-' [tion of Parish Records in approved receptacles in their respec-' jtive parishes, which have been granted by the Master of the [Eolls, is 592, of which 565 were in force at tlie beginning of |l90L

93. The Annual Reports required by the 6th section of the Parochial Records Act, 1876, from the clergymen to whose custody Records were committed under Retention Orders, were

I all duly received last year.

94. The Reports refer to injury from damp in nine cases. Suggestions have been made for protection of the books, which, it is hoped, may prove successful. The danger, however, from this source is very great in many of the coujitry Yestry rooms. Books belonging to tiiree parishes whose Records are held locally under Retention Orders, were repaired and rebound in this Ofl&ce.

95. An additional volume for the parish of Desertserges, in- cluding entries from 1755 \o 1836, has been found by the Incumbent, and formally committed to his care by supple- mentary order. A Yestry book of the parish of Killallon, 1820—1877, has been deposited here by the Rev. T. Rudd.

96. Complaints continue to be received from members of the public of the difficulty of obtaining information from Parish Records remaining in local custody. Two persons reported, during: the year, that they had applied to parish clergymen for searches, but had been informed that the Records were not in their hands, although in each case books of the date required were in their custody. In both cases the books were found on representations being made from this Office. In another case a Record agent complained that repeated applications, extend- ing over some months, k) an incumbent, for permission to search his books, had failed to receive any attention. These instances aiford further evidence of the public inconvenience resulting from retaining the older registers outside this Office.

State Paper OMce.

97. During the year 1900 there were received from the Chief Secretary's Office the papers for the year 1890, in sixty-seven carton boxes, with one carton of additional papers of the year 1889. These papers have been examined, checked, and put up in fifty-two cartons, numbered 3,511 to 3,562. The Index and Registers for 1889 were received at the game time.

24 THE THTRTT-THIRD REPORT OF THE DEPUTY KEEPER

98. The Searches made for Government during the year amounted to 261.

99. An Index has been prepared to the Reports on Prisoners'l Cases, 1777 to 1789. Progress has been made on the arrange-^ ment and indexing of the Papers for the period 1790 to 1800.

100. The papers of the Commissioners of Ministers' iMioney have been arranged, indexed, and parcelled. The arrangement, of the papers relating to Tithe composition and applotment, 1824—35, has been commenced, and considerable progress made.

KEPORT OF MR. M. J. MacEXERY OX THE BOOKS OF THE TREASURY AXD ACCOUXTIXG DEPARTMEXTS OF IRE- LAXD.

These Records, consisting of several thousand volumes now deposited in tlie Public Record Office of Ireland were transferred from the Landed Estates Record Office in the Custom House, which included the Record Branch of the Irish Treasury.

This report deals with the principal Records of the Irish Treasury previous to 1837, when the office of Vice-Treasurer was abolished. In addition to the classes dealt with here, the books transferred include a small collection of a minor and miscellaneous character consisting of rough books from which the items were posted into the principal Account Books ; semi-private books containing entries of private as well as public transactions ; and books of a strictly private character which were kept by some of the Treasury Clerks who acted as agents. These books were left in the Treasury, and were transferred with the Public Records to this Office.

The Treasury Records belong to a great department succeeded and, to some extent, represented, by the office of the Paymaster of the Civil Service, Dublin Castle. They contain a complete and detailed account of every transaction connected with the Irish Treasury from 1545 to 1837. They supply in a classified and accessible form the strength of the Civil and Military establishments, the names of the principal officials thereof, with their pay salary and allowance, and the names of such persons as have received any sums of money from the Irish Treasury through the Royal Bounty or for exceptional services. Classified accounts of the various sources of revenue and the sums received therefrom are also furnished.

The yearly increase of revenue and expenditure may be seen : at first the expenditure is met by the receipts, and as both increase the expen- diture has a constant tendency to exceed the receipts. This tendency was met for a time by money received in aid of taxation from Annuities, Loans, and Lotteries ; but, when the expenditure greatly exceeded the revenue, a Xational Debt was eventually established.

As Account Books they cannot materially differ from those of any 2;reat Accounting Department. To explain the systems adopted for receipt, payment, check, audit, and management, a brief sketch of the Irish Treasury and the r)rincipal changes in the mode of keeping the Public Accounts is supplied.

The Irish Treasury.

Previous to the end of the year 1793 this department was nominally vested in a Lord Treasurer, but the business was really conducted by the Vice-Treasurer, who was also styled Receiver-General, Paymaster- General, and Treasurer at War. The Lord High Treasurer nominally was the chief .Tuds;e in the Equity side of the Court of Exchequer, and by the Act 10 Hen. VII., c. 1, like power was conferred on the Treasurer of Ireland, as on the Treasurer of England, to appoint revenue officers ; and he was directed to account yearly before the Barons of the Exchequer and such of the King's CoTincil as should be appointed by the Lord Lieutenant, and the declaration thereof was to be certified into England.

Notwithstanding this enactment the functions of the Treasurer were very limited. The Vice-Treasurer, in the sixteenth century, got the most ample power with regard to the receipt and payment of public money ; and the j^rincipal revenue officers were appointed by the Lords Lieutenant under their own Warrants. After 1793 the office of Treasurer was granted to Commissioners who held office until 1817, when the Treasuries in Ireland and England were united.

28 APPENDIX TO TlJIRTV-THIRl) REPORT OF THE DEPUTY

The Vice-Treasurer was primarily the proper officer, on receipt of the necessary warrants, to make all payments on the Civil and Military Lists ; lie was also the proper person to receive payments into the Treasury and issue Acquittances. Associated with him in keeping the Public Accounts were the Auditor-General, the Clerk of the Pells, and the Chamberlains; while the Teller of the Exchequer was his executive officer. The Vice-Treasurer was responsible for the receipt, issue and management of the public revenue, and was liable to account for the same. Under proper Warrants and authority he made the payments authorised by the Civil and Military Lists, and the varioiis payments under the heads of Cnncordatum, and Appropriated Duties. He, or his Deputy, received all monies payable into the Exchequer and gave acquittances for same, and he was bound to pass his accounts before the Commissioners of Treasury Accounts and the Auditor-General. The Teller or Cashier acting under his orders received the monies and pre- pared the Acquittances. He also made paj-ments of public money on authority of Debentures or Orders from the Treasurer or Vice-Treasurer prepared by the Auditor-General.

The office of Vice-Treasurer was abolished in the end of 1793 and Commissioners were appointed to execute the office of Treasurer and to carry on the duties hitherto performed by the Vice-Treasurer.

A Receiver-General and Paymaster-General was appointed subordinate to this Board, and with a view to perform under its directions the duties previously performed by the Vice-Treasurer. The Commissioners adopted as far as possible the methods of the English Treasury, and on the 31st December, three days after they had been sworn as Com- missioners, they ordered the Commissioners of Revenue, the Postmaster- General, and the Commissioners of Stamp Duties to furnish weekly abstracts of the receipts, issues, and remains in their several depart- ments. Instructions were also issued to the Auditor-General, Teller, and Clerk of the Pells ; but as the whole system was changed the following year it is not necessary to go into details.

The Act 35 Geo. III., c. 28, which received the royal assent on 5th June, 1795, regulated the receipts and issues of the Treasury, but the Act practically embodied the regulations made by the Treasury Board on the 26th February, 1795, and the new system was really in existence from that date.

The office of Receiver-General and Paymaster-General was abolished, and future vacancies in the offices of the first and second Chamberlains were not to be filled up. The Teller of the Exchequer became a most important officer in the new system.

A Receiver-General was appointed to receive all duties, aids, revenues and taxes collected and levied by the Commissioners of Customs and Excise, and he was to pay to the Teller, every week, all monies received by him on the previous week ; and, for the purpose of issue, receipt, and keeping reliable accounts thereof, the Aiiditor-General and Clerk of the Pells were associated with the Teller, and their duties are sketched below under the headings " Issue of Money," " Receipt of Money," and " Accounts and Check."

This arrangement continued without any serious modification except the introduction of the system of making all receipts and payments through the Bank of Ireland until 1817, when the Irish Treasury with all its incidents was merced in the Treasury of the L'nited Kingdom. The powers of the Lords Commissioners of the Irish Treasury were then vested in the Lords Commissioners of the Treasuiy of the United Kingdom, and a Vice-Treasurer was arjain appointed to transact the revenue matters of Ireland in accordance with their directions. Tho Auditor-General and Clerk of the Pells wore associated with the Vice- Treasurer in keeping the public Accounts until the abolition of their offices in 1822. From 1822 to 1837 tlie Vic-Treasurer, under instruc- tions from the Lords of the Imperial Tn.'asury, executed everything necessary for the issue, receipt and pa\-ment of the public money for civil and military purposes ; but in the 3-ear 1837 the Irisli Treasury offices were abolisliod. and the Irish revenue b^-came an integral part of. and subject to the same regulations as. the other revenue of the United Kingdom.

KEEPER OF THE PITBLK; RECORDS IN IRELAND. 29

Issue of Money.

Previous to the end of 1793 payments on the Civil List were made on Debentures prepared and signed by the Auditor-General pursuant to the establishment letter, a copy of which was lodged with the Vice-Treasurer. Payments on the Military List were made on Warrants prepared by the Commissary-General of Musters signed by the Lord Lieutenant, and countersigned by the Commissary-(ieneral.

Payments on Concordatum were made on Warrants from the Privy Council: they were not to exceed a certain amount, and were limited to special purposes. Payments of Api)ropriated Duties were made on Warrants from the Linen Board, or other parties entitled to receive them, and did not require a Government Warrant.

The Civil and Military Lists were the authority for all ordinary payments out of the Treasury. The Vice-Treasurer had no power to make payments not included therein without proper Warrants authorised or sanctioned by a King's letter. No Debentures or Warrants except those on Appropriated Duties were to be paid without being entered with and countersigned by the Clerk of the Pells.

Important constitutional changes were made in the year 1793. The King having surrendered his ancient power over the Hereditary Kevenue the Act 33 Geo. III., c. 34, reciting this, enacted that a Consolidated Fund should be formed from the Hereditary Revenue and aU Additional Duties, not appropriated ; and in consideration of the surrender, it was enacted that a sum of £145,000 should yearly be paid thereout to meet the salaries and charges on His Majesty's Civil List, and a further sum to satisfy the Pension List.

Parliament for the first time got complete control over the finances of the country, and after March, 1794. supplies were voted by the Annual Appropriation Bill. To complete the change a Treasury Board was appointed, whoUy responsible to the Irish Parliament.

The Board was authorised by the first Appropriation Act (34 Geo. III., c. 4) to make certain payments, and receive certain monies specified therein ; and to issue the sum granted to His Majesty to meet the military and other services of the year as appropriated and allocated in the Act. While the Act was the ultimate authority for the pajrments, the immediate authority for the issue was two King^s letters sent yearly when the Appropriation Bill was passed,' one authorising the Civil, and the other the Military payments, specified in the Act.

The Commissioners forming the Treasury Board were appointed at the end of 17S3, and regulated their process of issue according to the English method. They sent their orders to the Auditor-General who, having examined and registered them, sent on the orders for payment to the Teller. When the payment was made the Teller registered the order witli the Clerk of the Pells.

A new system Avas started in February, 1795, which was established by Parliament in tlie following .June, and thenceforth pa3Tnents were made by the Teller as execTitive officer of the new Treasury Board.

The Commissioners were not to issue any money without the authority required in the Act; and the Bank of Ireland was to see that every draft from the Teller showed the particular service for which the same was drawn.

The Auditor-General having received Warrants from the Treasury Board prepared Debentures or Orders as his Warrants directed. In the case of orders, he submitted to the Treasury for signature a formal order for payment, and this was returned v.^hen the Board wished it to be paid. The amount and the fund for payment were then specified by the Auditor-General, and, after the order had been examined by the Clerk of the Pells, and had been perfected by the addition of his " examinatur et rpcordatur," it was pent to the Teller.

If tlie orr^er was p^id in fuM if ■pa'naiiQrl wifTi the TeH'^'' f*" V'-; vnrcher, otherwise it was returned to the Auditor-General with a note of the part payment endorsed thereon.

30 APPKNDIX TO THIRTY-THIRD REPORT OF THE DEPUTY

This system continued until 1814, when new regulations were framed with the view of abolishing receipts and payments at the counter of the Exchequer, and causing them to be made through the Bank of Ireland: for every payment of public money the Teller issued his draft on the Bank of Ireland specifying the particular head of the service for which the payment was made, and every such draft was recorded in the office of the Clerk of the PeUs and countersigned by him.

Money issued from the Treasury to Public Accountants in the neighbourhood of Dublin was obtained by drafts from the Teller on the Bank of Ireland in favour of the Accountants, and all such drafts were countersigned by the Clerk of the PeUs. This and all other money received by Public Accountants was lodged immediately in Bank to their account, and they drew upon it for the several services comprised in their offices and duty, specifying the nature of the service and the particular head to which the sum mentioned was to be applied. Sums deducted for Pells, Poundage and Treasury Fees were to be carried to the credit of the public by the Auditor-General and Clerk of the Pells every week in the account of the Consolidated Fund of Ireland. Hospital Fees were treated in the same way, and subsequently applied to Kil- mainham Hospital.

This continued until 1817, when the Irish Exchequer became merged in that of the United Kingdom, the Irish Treasuiy Board was abolished, and a Yice-Treasurer again appointed.

After 1817 money was issued on Warrants from the Lord Lieutenant to the Vice-Treasurer, by whom they were countersigned ; and they were entered and marked by a person authorized by him. The Auditor- General on receipt of notice that such formalities had been complied with issued his order for payment on the Teller of the Exchequer, and the Warrant so dealt with was authority to him therefor. Irish Issues were recorded in the British Exchequer in order that the annual grants- of Parliament should not be exceeded : for current services they were made from the growing produce of the Consolidated Fund in Ireland, in each quarter, and the Vice-Treasurer transmitted an account of such issues to the Lords of the Treasury, who issued their Warrant for repay- ing same to the Consolidated Fund.

After 10th October, 1822, the offices of the Auditor-General and Clerk of the Pells were abolished, and their functions devolved on' the Vice- Treasurer. Under the new system Issues were divided into three kinds : —

1st. Permanent Charges on the Consolidated Fund.

2nd. Military Establisliment annually provided for by Parliament.

3rd. Civil ,, „ „ ,, ,, ,,

The permanent charges on the Consolidated Fund consisted of Interest and Annuities chargeo. on the Public Funded Debt, the Sinking Fund-, and the Civil List. The amounts of the two former having been calcu- lated by the Loan Clerk and the Commissioners for reducing the National Debt, respectively, they were certified to the Lord Lieutenant by the Vice-Treasurer, and when His Excellency issued his Warrant to the Vice- Treasurer the latter issued liis order on the Teller to pay the same.

The Vice-Treasurer had the distribution and record of the Civil List in his possession : prior to each quarter day lie certified the charges- of the establishment thereon to His Excellency and the money wn,s issued as before — the Finance Accounts of the Civil List were kept yearly, the year ending on the 5th January. Charges under the authority of Acts of Parliament for salaries or fixed allowances were certified and issued as in the case of the Civil List, but for incidental expenses or disbursements application should be made to the Lord Lieutenant for his Warrant to the Vice-Treasurer to issue an order for payment on the TeUer.

Advances from the Consolidated Fund by way of loan were made on Warrants originating with the Lord Lieutenant addressed to the Vice- Treasurer, who issued his order on the Teller to pay the same. The Teller's draft on the Bank of Ireland was countersigned by the Vice- Treasurer or his Deputy. The Teller deducted from saLaries,' aUowances,

gfiEPEii OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS IN IRELAND. 3 1

and pensions, such deductions as were previously made in the Office of the Tells and Auditor-General, subdividing them into Poundage, Pells, Hospital, and Treasury Fees, and transferring them to the credit of the Consolidated Fund.

With reference to the Military Establishment, the regimental Agents monthly, or as often as necessary, applied to the Secretary at War for tlie sums necessary for subsistence and the allowance to their regiments. The Secretary at AVar, having all the materials for that purpose, trans- mitted to the Vice-Treasurer a statement of the amounts payable to individuals and the sums necessary for the subsistence and payment of the land forces, and directed him to i)ay the proper amounts to the regimental agents. On receipt of the statement from the Secretary at War the Vice-Treasurer moved the Lord Lieutenant for his Warrant directing issues from the Bank of Ireland, and His Excellency directed that sufficient sums should be placed to the credit of the Vice-Treasurer as Paj-master of the Military Establishment in Ireland. The Vice- Treasurer, by drafts on the Bank of Ireland, then paid the army agents and several individuals the respective sums authorised, taking their receipts for same and deducting fees as before, which, at the close of each quarter, were transferred at the Bank to credit of the Consolidated Fund.

Money was issued to the Barrack, Commissariat, and Ordnance Depart- ments, under Warrants from their respective Boards addressed to the Vice-Treasurer, who then directed the Teller to transfer such sums from his account in the Bank of Ireland to the credit of the respective Boards, and each Board made its own pajrments.

Army Extraordinaries arising out of emergencies were issued in the usual way on the Warrant of the Lord Lieutenant addressed to the Vice-Treasurer : copies of these Warrants were immediately transmitted to the Treasury and Secretary at War for sanction, and such sanction was annexed to the Lord Lieutenant's Warrant.

After the 24th December, 1822, the Secretary at War executed the duties previously performed by the Commissioners of Military Accounts and the Muster Master-General, but the establishment of military accounts continued until 5th January, 1824, in order to clear aw9.y the arrears of accounts.

With reference to Parliamentary Grants for the Civil Service, issues were made to Public Boards, Hospitals, Schools, miscellaneous services and civil contingencies, in the usual way, on Warrants from the Lord Lieutenant addressed to the Vice-Treasurer.

Every order from the Vice-Treasurer to the Teller was accompanied by the Warrant or authority on which it was made ; the Teller entered thereon the number and amount of his draft on the Bank, and the draft required the counter-signature of the Vice-Treasurer. The Teller retained the Vice-Treasurer's order as his voucher ; but returned the original VVarrant or authority on which the order was made.

This system entirely ceased in 1837, the Exchequer offices in Ireland Wore practically abolished, the revenue of Ireland became an integral Jortion of that of the United Kingdom subject to the regulations of the [iords of the Treasury,, and Issues were made on Warrants from tho Lords of the Treasury addressed to the Comptroller of the Exchequer. ^ Paymaster of Civil Services in Ireland was appointed for making >ajrments in detail, imprest money being advanced to him from the tini^lish Exchequer, for that purpose, under Warrants from the Treasury. Irmy ]iayments were made by transfers from the account of the Comp- rolIpr-General of the Exchequer to that of the Paymaster-General at be Bank of Ireland.

Beceipt of Money.

The public revenue of Ireland consisted of —

I. Hereditary Revenue, TI. Additional Duties, III. Appropriated Duties ;

32 APPENDIX TO THIRTY-THIRD REPORT OF THE DEPUTY

but, with reference to the manner in which receipts were made and recorded, there was no difference between these classes of revenue.

Previous to 1794 they were received from the Collectors by the Vice- Treasurer, and he or his Deputy gave an acquittance which was entered by the Clerk of the Pells, the Chamberlains, and the Accountant- General ; the acquittance was the discharge to the party making the payment. The monry was recei\'ed through the Cashier or Teller, who was a subordinate officer.

In 1794 the Teller became the executive officer of the new Treasury Board. He received no money without issuing a clieque receipt for it This receipt was made out by the officer of the Auditor- General attending in his office, and was signed by him ami witnessed by such officer and by the officer of the Clerk of tlie i\-lls. The Cka-k of the Pells recorded the receipts, and was directed to furnish to the Auditor-General a daily account of the receipts into the Treasury.

There was a period of transition from January, 1794, to March, 1795, during which the Receiver-General and Paymaster-General, under direc- tions from the Treasury Board, transacted business very much in the manner of the former Vice-Treasurers. In February, 1795, however, new regulations were made and instructions issued to the Receiver- General and Paymaster-General, Teller, Auditor, and Clerk of the Pells,

This system was established hj law in June, 1795, when the post of Receiver-General and Pajrmaster-General was abolished, and a new officer entitled Receiver-General was appointed.

The Receiver-General received all duties, aids, revenues, and taxes collected by and levied under the authority of the Commissioners of Customs and Excise ; and he paid weekly to the Teller of the Exchequer all monies received by him during the previous week, distinguishing under their proper heads the various receipts according to the Accountant- General's Abstracts.

The Teller was to give to him indented receipts for every such payment, which were to be recorded in the offices of the Auditor-General and Clerk of the Pells, and countersigned by both. Daily and weekly returns of receipts were to be sent by the Receiver-General to the Auditor-General, who was directed to record every receipt countersigned by him. A similar record was made by the Clerk of the Pells. Both were to examine weekly the Teller's accounts and issue certificates to the Lord Lieutenant and the Treasury Commissioners concerning the receipts, issues and remains. Half-yearly certificates were to be issued in like manner ; and quarterly, half-yearly and yearly accounts, were to be sent by the Auditor (after having been approved of by him and them) to the Accountant-General.

The Accountant-General was directed to send weekly to the Lord Lieutenant and Treasury an abstract of the receipts, payments and balances, of the different revenue collectors ; and similar abstracts were to be sent by the treasurers of the Board of Works and Barracks, Ordnance, Receiver-General of Stamps, and treasurer to the Post Office.

This system practically continued \mtil the year 1814, when, instead of paying the sums received by him directly into the hands of the Teller, the Receiver-General paid them into the Bank of Ireland to the Teller's credit, and, on presenting the certificate received by him from the Bank, the Teller gave him an acquittance for the sum contained in the certi- ficate : every such receipt or acquittance specified particulars, and was recorded and countersigned in the offices of the Auditor-General and Clerk of the Pells, as before. JMoney could only be received into the Exchequer in this way, and no acquittance could be valid except for money so received.

After 1822 it was again ordered that payments into the Exchequer, no matter of what kind, should be made into the Bank of Ireland to the credit of the Teller. The Cashier of the Bank gave a receipt to the party making the payment and debited the Bank for the amount in the Teller's account. The party then brought the receipt to the Teller, who prepared an Exchequer receipt, and it was not a complete acquittance to the party until countersigned by the Vice-Treasurer or his Deputy.

KEEPER OF THE PtJBLIC RECORDS IN IRELAND. 33

Everj^ Exchequer receipt stated the amount and the account for which I - ._„c^ it was paid, was entered in the office of the Vice-Treasurer, and charged I '-■"^^K against the Teller. The account of the Bank for each week was furnished

to the Vice-Treasurer. This system of receipt practically continued until the abolition of the

office of A'ice-Treasurer in 1837.

Accounts and Check.

' From the reign of Henry VIII. Commissioners were appointed from

J" "■ time to time by King's letter to examine and check the Accounts of the

_: ,-, Vice-Treasurer, Board of Ordnance, and other great accounting Depart-

'^^r ments. The rolls of Finance Accounts as passed by these Commissioners,

'f^^ engrossed on parchment, extend from 1545 to 1822. The beginning of

??ga every account recites the Commission, and there is a certificate at the end

- ,X signed by the Commissioners.

- :- Previous to 1760 the Vice-Treasurer kept annual accounts as a rule, i*^. but from thence to 1794 he prepared and submitted to the Commissioners ■f;'^,; of Treasury Accounts, quarterly accounts of his receipts, issues, and ::^J^ the balance in his hand, together with the vouchers in support of same. liii/ The Commissioners, under their patents, were appointed to call for and |*k7 examine these accounts, and, on being satisfied therewith, they signed & them ; but, before the accounts were fidly discharged, they were liable /.ft" to be reviewed by the Treasurer or Commissioners of the Treasury of V'*:; Great Britain. Other accounts, such as those of the Board of Ordnance,

T: t:;; Board of Works, and money advanced by Government by way of Imprest ^^^ were formerly dealt with by the Commissioners of Treasury Accounts, ^■*yf" but, at this period, the latter were subject to the Commissioners of

- ^5 Imprests and Foreign Accounts.

~^'^^ The Vice-Treasurer's accounts were first passed before the Auditor-

v-^tJJ General, and then before the Commissioners ; his receipts were

-; A.I entered with the Clerk of the Pells, the Chamberlains, and the

f-.=;' Accountant-General ; his payments were entered with the Clerk of the

., jte PeUs. The Vice-Treasurer delivered to the Auditor and Commissioners

■ "JvC transcripts of his receipts, and similar transcripts were furnished by

' 7?,^. the Clerk of the Pells and the Chamberlains ; and, when these were com-

rif;^^ pared, they were a complete check on the accuracy of the Vice-Treasurer's

'^^'' transcripts, and showed whether he was fully charged with all monies

-SM^ received by him during the period of the account. The Vice-Treasurer

^40^ also gave the Auditor-General a fair transcript of all his payments under

f-4«s= the several heads of the establishment, with vouchers therefor, and a

,-£ like account was given by the C.erk of the Pells ; and when examined by

:.-4^K the Auditor-General and engrossed on parcliment, it was brought with

-?#■ the vouchers to the Commissioners of Accounts, who examined and

~'^& signed it. This account remained with the Auditor-General, but a

^: ^ duplicate was given to the Vice-Treasurer as his "quietus est." The

■.' checks on the Vice-Treasurer's Accounts were thus quite complete ; the

.;< bocks of the Clerk of the Pells and the Chamberlains were a check on

V. his receipts, and not oulj was he obliged to furnish vouchers for his

£ payments, but the Clerk of the Pells had an independent account of them.

.;,^^ -furthermore, the authorities for his payments were in the hands of the

;!§^5: -A-uditor-General and Commissioners of Accounts, and any payment made

HJ-Sl^ithout proper authority was disallowed.

-/-p^w; From 1794 under the newly appointed Treasury Board this system >:^ Seems to have been maintained and continued until 1817, when the Irish ?'% Treasury was merged in the Imperial Treasury. Thenceforward the Vice- -.^~i^ Treasurer was ordered to furnish an account of all Warrants which passed i-i^ through his office during the year, and the same was laid before Parlia- . ;^ ^tient : like his predecessors, the Treasury Commissioners, he examined 2^^''*iid signed th.e quarterly accounts of the receipts, issues, and remains of ri^ the Exchequer in Ireland, prepared by the Auditor, and transmitted

'.lit ^

abstracts of the same to the Treasury Board. He also furnished to the Commissioners of tlie Treasury, every week, a comparative view of tlie revenue paid into the Treasury, as formerly done by the Bevenue Clerk of the Irish Treasury Board.

After the abolition of the Auditor-General's office, in 1822, aU the accounts previously kept by him were kept and furnished by the Vice- Treasurer : he was directed —

(a) Weekly and quarterly to make an abstract of the receipts, issues, and remains in the Irish Treasury, to compare them witli the Teller, and to transmit copies thereof, pursuant to the Treasurj' minute of the 23rd May, 1822 ;

(b) To prepare a quarterly account of the net produce of the Consolidated Jhind paid into the Exchequer in Ireland, and the permanent charge thereon ;

(c) To prepare an account of sums issued out of the growing produce of the Consolidated Fund arising in Ireland, for the public service in Ireland ;

(d) To furnish particulars of Imprest money repaid into the : Exchequer, and other monies received for the public ; same to be

- transmitted within ten days after the expiration of each quarter ;

. (e) To prepare a quarterly account of the funded debt in Ireland,

with the annual charge thereon, which was to be transmitted to the Commissioners for redeeming the National Debt ;

(/) As soon as possible after each year ending the 5th January, to . prepare and transmit to the Imperial Treasury, in triplicate, the following accounts, which were to be incorporated with the Finance Accounts of the United Kingdom : —

(1) An account, with appendices, of all sums paid into the

Exchequer in. Ireland on account of the public income ;

(2) An account of the net produce of the Consolidated Fund paid ' - into the Exchequer in Ireland, and the permanent charge

thereon ;

(3) An account of the public expenditure in Ireland, with appen-

- . dices, and an account of the funded debt in Ireland, with .. : the annual charge thereon ;

(4) An account of the unfunded debt in Ireland and the demands

outstanding, with appendices ;

(5) An account showing how the grants for the Service of the year

had been disposed of; distinguishing the various payments into jaroper heads ;

(6) Accounts relating to the Treasury Department in Ireland,

ordered by either House of Parliament. '

He was also directed to take over from the Auditor-General and the Clerk of .the Pells aU the records and papers belonging to their departments.

Appended is a classified account of the classes of books and records of the . Accounting Dep artments.

ABSTRACTS.

Abstracts were primarily kept to supply in a classified form com- pendious views of the receipts and payments into the Treasury ; but jafter 1741 their main object seems to have been to serve as a check on the Vice-Treasurer,

CASH BOOKS.

These are very important, and include four series — Counter Cash Book* Deputy Receiver-General's, Teller's, and Treasury Cash Books.

Counter Cash Books, 1727-1837. — These seem to have served as actual" receipt books up to 1800, and tk.^y contain receipts and payments of every kind made by the Cashier in thr. Treasury, together with the signature of the recipients up to that date. '

The accounts are balanced weokly, and although tlie receipts and pay- ments sometimes differ from Llm i-Lceipts and pajmients in the Treasury Cash Books the weekly balances are always the same, for the reason stated in the paragrapli (ju the Treasury Cash Eo(;ks.

The boi'ks are kept in eider of date, and the items are entered pro- miscuously. They only contain receipts and payments made by Teller, and the books were prepared by liis clerk. To understand the importance and character of these transactions see account of payments and receipt under raijmrnt and I'rcript Honks. Trrasiiri/. Some bcoks are missing.

KEEPER OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS IN IRELA^'D. 37

Deputy Beceivcr-GrneraVs Cash Books, 1779--1785.— These contain transactions of the Deputy lleceiver-Geiieral witli reference to Bills received from Revenue Collectors, Agency to Pensioners on the Civil and Militarj' Establishment, Arc.

Teller's Cash Books, 1735-68, 1777--94.— At first the Teller would seem to have been a very subordinate officer witli very liiuitetl powers, prac- tically a mere Casliier. After 1794, while tiw Deputy Iw-ceiver-General was still nominally responsible, most of the duties practically devolved on the Teller, and thf entries of his receij^ts and payments appear in the Counter- Cash Bonk.

These books extend from 1733 to 1768, and from 1777 to 1794, and contain his receipts and i^ayments. The Treasury was debited for his receipts and credited for his payments.

There are some other transactions with which the Teller had no official concern, and the books seem to have been kept to show how he stood personally with reference to the Treasury and other Government accounts. .- 'Mir Treasury Cash Books, 1689-1795. — These contain entries of every receipt and pa;vTnent by the Treasury in respect of the public service and -' re^•enue. The accounts are kept weekly, and the balances are always the ;^ same as in the Counter Cash Books. Several receipts and payments were "J^ made without the instrumentality of the Teller, but as receipts for such '""* purposes, e.g., forage, were immediately paid away, the weekly balance

twas not affected. The accounts are classified, receipts and payments being entered under the proper heads of the accounts. They show the deductions for infir- mary, poundage, hospitals. Pells. The earlier books show whether a pay- ment was made by acquittance on a revenue collector or by cash at the Counter of the Exchequer. There is a column showing the page of ledger _ ^^^^^ in which the item is entered, and a corresponding column in ledger ^^ shows the page of the cash book the entry was posted from. They cease "r^ in 1795, and, from that date, the ledgers refer to the page of the issue " payment books. The series is very valuable as furnishing a record of the receipts and payments.

After 1757 there are two books for every year, each book containing the accounts for alternate weeks. Some books are missing at the beginning of the series, as well as those for the years 1757—8 and 1759-60.

ECCLESIASTICAL REVENUE.

The di'^solution of the monasteries in the time of Henry VIIT. furnished consiikrable revenue to him and his immediate successors. The chattels, lands and possessions of the monasteries were vested in the Crown, and provision was made for some of the reli2;ious.

•' First fruits," or " annates," were also vested in Henry VIII. They are th.- first year's profit of every ecclesiastical benefice or promotion pay- able liy four instalments in two years. If default were made in the pay- iiniit "to the Clerk of First Fruits process issued as in case of Cro\vn lands.

The fees payable on faculties or dispensations were included in sources of ecclesiastical revenues vested in Henry VIII. and his successors. The fees on faculties were apportioned between the Crown and the Dignitaries and officers employed in their collection.

" Twentieth parts," being the twentieth part of every year's value of a benefice or preferment, were vested in the Crown in like manner as the First Fruits.

The chattels of the monasteries were sold ; and the lands, pending their grant, were let on lease.

A valuation of all benefices for the purpose of assessing the First Fruits and Twentieth Parts, was made by Commission 30 Hen. VIII. The record of this valuation is called " Valor beneficiorum." They yielded revenue until the Twentieth Parts were released to the incumbents by Queen Anne, confirmed by statute 2 Geo. I., c. 15 ; and the First Fruits by the same authorities were granted to trustees for the building of churches and purchase of glebes, and impropriations.

In the Commonwealth period various ecclesiastical lands, rents and revenues were appropriated by the Government.

^^respectfully beg to submit my Report, under the direction of the E/igbt Honourable the Master of tbe Rolls, and pursuant toSie 24th Section of the Public Records (Ireland) Act, on the mdceedings had during the year 1901 in connexion with the PabHc Records of Ireland.

f^^he lamented death of Her Majesty the late Queen Victoria Otoled on the staff of this Office many searches for precedents twittected with the ceremonies and appointments involved in iMTBommencement of His Majesty's reign. «^?f ' ■ .

*.iln the exercise of the powers conferred by Section 5 of the niblic Records (Ireland) Act, 18G7, your Excellency, by Order a Council dated 2'lth July, 1901, has been pleased to place under «e^cliarge of this department the Records of the Offices of ^Tcsof the Crown and Peace for the County of Donegal, and ** the County and City of "Waterf ord ; and by a further Order ^27tli August, those of the Clerk of the Peace for the County ?^ilkenny.

A list of tKe maps is given in the Appoiidji They include 19 Down Survey maps of baronies in the fol]o\\ii|i, Counties:— Kilkenny (1), King's (3), Louth (3), Meath (5), Q^^,en'^ (4), Waterford (3). The Louth and Waterford maps are especially valuable, as the maps of the Record set for the corrcv ponding districts are almost, or in some cases quite, destroyed. The Record set for Meath and Q.ueen's County are also injured and defective. One map of the barony of Inchiquin, Co. Clare, is unique, but, unfortunately, incomplete. It appears to l)e a contemporary copy of a lost Down Survey map of the Baronv authorised in 1656. "With these maps was transferred a Eoll of 340 signatures to an oath against Transubstantiation, &c., taken at Kells in 1745.

4. The transcription of the volumes of the Civil Survey, preparatory to the deposit of the originals in this Office, lia* been continued. Twenty volumes for the baronies in Couniie* Donegal, Dublin, and Kildare, have been completed ; and County Limerick was in progress at the end of the year.

The Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury have, through and at the instance of your Excellency's Government, been pleased to sanction the publication by this Departineni of an edition of the Early Statutes of Ireland, and a Calendar of the Justiciary Rolls of Ireland of the reign of Edward I., preserved in this Office. Initial technical difficulties havp, delayed the commencement of the work of printing, but twenty- seven pages of the Calendar were in ty^pe at the end of the year.

6. The Yisitation Books of the diocese of Cashel, referred to in last Report as placed here by Mr. George S. Gary, havfj been generously presented by him, and finally deposited it J the Office under the 16th section of the Public Records Art-; They include Episcopal Visitation Books, 1664 to 1772: Pora*j papers relating to Archidiaconal Yisitation, 1747-53: ai». several maps and plans formerly preserved in the Diore«a» Registry.

they are in reality more numerous. As a rule, the registers are in fairly good condition, but some, which are mere pass or account books, in which the marriage entries were made in a very rough manner, are in a bad state of preservation. Many marriages are to be found entered twice, once in a rough book, and afterwards copied into another book. These registers con- tain the entries of dates of marriage, and names of parties ; the names of the witnesses and residences being often added, whilst in many cases the respective fees paid are also recorded.

The custom of celebrating clandestine marriages, that is to say, mar- riages performed by clergymen, without the publication of banns or the granting of a licence, apparently dates back to an early period. In England, the registers of marriages in the Fleet and King's Bench prisons or Rules, May Fair, the Mint, &c., which were purchased by the Govern- ment in 1821, and are now lodged in the office of the Registrar-General, Somerset House, date back as far as 1674. They ended, however, in the year 1754, as these clandestine marriages were made illegal in England by Lord Hardwicke's Act of the preceding year. In Ireland, though the pre- sent registers only commence in 1799, marriages of this kind were celebrated at a much earlier date. Swift wrote to Pope in 1726 : " I am just going to perform a very good office. It is to assist with the archbishop in degrad- ing a parson who couples all our beggars I am come back,

and have deprived the parson, who by a law here is to be hanged the next couple he marrieth." In July 1739, the Reverend Edward Shewell, clerk, was deprived of the office of priest by the Vicar-General of the Consistorial Court of Dublin, for that he had contumaciously refused to appear before the Court on a charge of " unlawful and clandestine solemnization of a

pretended marriage without any banns published or licence

granted for that purpose." He was executed in Stephen's Green in the following year, as an extract from the Dublin Gazette will show: — " Mr. Edward Sewell, a degraded clergyman, who lived for some time past at the World's End, and followed the business of coupling beggars together, was tried and convicted of marrying the son of an eminent citizen to a Roman Catholic young woman, and is to be executed for the same Satur- day se'night." In 17^, the Reverend Howard Felton, clerk, was excom- municated for a similar offence. In connection with this incident, the following passage appeared in Faulkner's Journal %i that date: — "It is hoped that all marriages will be made illegal which are not called at least three times in church beforehand."

It must not be supposed from these instances that all clandestine mar- riages were performed by regularly ordained clergymen. There were many impostors who offered to perform such marriages, though they were not in orders, either as Protestant Clergymen or Roman Catholic priests. The notorious couple-beggar, Samuel D'Assigny, who practised his profes- sion during the early years of the eighteenth century, and died in the year 1737 worth nearly a thousand pounds, is reported " to have joined many thousand pairs in wedlock, although he never was in Holy Orders, yet wore a Band and a gown, &c., and so imposed on the credulous and hasty lovers."

There were several reasons which induced people in olden times to resort to these " couple-beggars " to be joined in matrimony. The most impor- tant, especially in cases of abduction, was probably the secrecy of the performance, the clergyman and witnesses alone being present, besides the parties. The notoriety consequent on the publication of banns in a parish church seems to have been very generally disliked, as the following extract from the Dublin Morning Post of 8th .January, 1824, will show : — " The first marriage by banns in this neighbourhood for many years took place at Blessington on the 1st of January . . . Many people who cannot procure a licence preferring to be married by unauthorised clergy- men rather than submit to have banns published." Another reason was the cheapness of the ceremony, most of the entries of fees for such mar- riages in the registers under notice being under ten shillings, many being as low as 3s. Zd. , while in one instance the sum of Is. Id. was paid. Again, the expedition and despatch of this system recommended itself to many who desired to avoid the delays caused by the publication of banns or the

24 APPENDIX TO THIRTY-FOURTH REPORT OF THE DEPUTY

procuring a licence ; and lastly the difiiculty of getting mixed marri; celebrated by any other clergymen.

The places where most of these marriages were performed were No, Haymarket, and Cullenswood. The Haymarket (sometimes called Straw-market) is just beside Smithfield, on the North side of Du: _ In Dr. Whitelaw's Census of 1798, there is an entry under the head of^. "Haymarket" as follows: — "A Barrack, properly No. 9." How soon afterwards this house was occupied by the couple-beggars, it is impossible to say. The registers of the Reverend Steuart King cover the period of 1799- 1818, but it is only on the register for 1817-1818 that the note " No. 9, Haymarket " occurs. The Reverend Matthew Harris, who was celebrating these irregular marriages at the same time (being in 1799 at 21, Grav3 Walk, alias Tighe Street,jiow Blackball Place) has a note in his register to the effect that in 1805 he went to live at No. 5, West Arran Street ; bnt in 1815 he celebrated a marriage at No. 9, Strawmarket, as testified by a witness in " Duxward v. Durward " (Dublin Consistorial Court). No. 9, Haymarket, was described by a witness in a suit as " opposite the weigh- house, and next door but one to Burgess Lane." On the death of th» Reverend Steuart King, he was succeeded at No. 9 by his son-in-law, the Reverend Joseph Wood, who appears to have been assisted by the Reverend; John CaldweU during portions of the years 1821-1822. On the death of the Reverend Joseph Wood, Mrs. Wood, his widow, and John King, his ^ brother-in-law, continued in possession of No. 9 ; and employed the fol- 1* lowing clergymen, at different times, to do duty there, viz. : — The -'' Reverends John Edward Allen, Benjamin Hobart, James William S. Maguire, Hill M'Kenna, and John Stenson. The Reverend Jas. W, MM Maguire, who acted for Mrs. Wood between 1838-1840, only resided part of " that time at No, 9 ; for the remainder of that period, he had lodgings m several parts of the city, to which sometimes the persons desiring to ba married were sent by Mrs. Wood.

The Reverend John G. F. Shulze, minister of the German Church, Pool-*^ beg Street, was in the habit of celebrating these irregxdar marriages at his "^ house, Anneville, Cullenswood, co. Dublin. He died in 1839, and was ^ ^ succeeded in his matrimonial duties by the Reverend James W. Maguire, S^ v^ who had severed his connexion with Mrs. Wood at No. 9, Haymarket. He, in turn, was probably succeeded in 1844. on his death, by the Reverend Hill M'Kenna, as, in the register of the latter, the name of Mary Arm-' strong, who was a servant maid at Cullenswood, often occurs as a witness.

It would appear that these marriages were celebrated at any hour. The Reverend Matthew Harris had, on one occasion, retired to his room to bed, when he was called at eleven o'clock at night to officiate. In ordinary course, on the clergyman coming into the room where the parties and their witnesses were assembled, the first proceeding was apparently to agree as to the sum to be paid for the service. This largely depended upon the ability of the parties, in one case the sum of £6 10s. 5d. having been paid, though as a rule the fee was under ten shillings, on one occasion being as low as one shilling and one penny (a British shilling). The amount of fees % received in a year varied with different clergymen, and with different S" years. From the information afforded by the registers in this OflSce, ^ the amount varied between £50 and £500. In a few cases, we find the- ^ entries " charity," " nothing," against the names of the parties. The Reverend Steuart King appears to have been particularly unfortunate, as there are many entries of " due" in his registers. Perhaps it was on this account that it was the usual practice to secure the money before perform- ing the service. The formalities of the marriage service appear to have been few. If the parties did not bring their witnesses with them, Mrs. Wood, Mr. King, a niece or a servant was always at hand to perform that duty. There are a few instances of entries of declarations by the paities that they are not apprentices, under any guardian, a ward in Chancery, or related, and, in one case, a note of caveat is entered against certain parties being married. When the marriage ceremony was over, a certifi- cate was issued, if demanded, and for this the fee varied from one shilling and sixpence to five shillings, but sometimes half or a whole sovereign was given. Mr. Arthur Samuels, however, stated that half-a-crown was the usual

REPORT BY MR. HERBERT WOOD ON CERTAIN REGIST OF IRREGULAR MARRIAGES CELEBRATED BY LICENSED CLERGYMEN, KNOWN AS COUPLE-BEGG

The registers of certain irregular marriages, celebrated in ■'^^°^. between the years 1799-1844, which were purchased by the Govemmeiw ». the year 1900 from the executor of the late Arthur Samuels, esq., ana «» behalf of the representatives of the late John Haslar Samuels, esq., ^*^^ trars of the Diocese of Dublin, are nominally twenty-eight in ^'^^^ but as some of these volumes are themselves composed of several "^'**%

fee The certificate was issued by John King, if the ceremony was performed in No. 9, Haymarket ; if at Cullenswood, by Mr. Shulze or Mr. Maguire. The entries were not always made on the register at the time, being some- times written on slips of paper and entered afterwards. At No 9. Hay- market, Mr. King appears to have vigilantly looked after Mrs. Woods interests, and often when he could get hold of the note book of the clergy- man would make a copy of the entries in another book. Consequently, amongst these registers will be found several which are partially dupli- cates. Some entries occur where secrecy was evidently desired, as in several cases the only entry of the marriage consists of the words, " to an other' ; with the fee. On some occasions the names were entered with several letters left out and asterisks in their place. We also find such entries as " names changed by mutual consent," " names erased by mutual consent." Now and then, the mere chronicle of names is enlivened by notes which throw a vivid light upon the condition of the persons who resorted to these "Couple-beggars," as in the f ollowing : — " Is. 6d. due. Tlie Bride absconded without paying" ; "This party stole a gold ring" ; " a ring taken away"; "stole my Boots"; "2s. 6rf. bad"; "other wife ; " behaved in a very unsuitable manner and were not married by me. J. M'Guire." ^ • t i j

The state of the Civil Law, as regards marriages, m Ireland was as follows. Marriages between Roman Catholics and celebrated by Roman Catholic priests have always been regarded as valid. Although Presby- terian marriages by Presbyterian ministers were admitted to be valid by the Civil Courts, yet Presbyterians who were married by their owii ministers had often " to confess themselves guilty of fornication, in their respective parish churches, or else pay a heavy penalty " (Latimer, His- tory of the Irish Presbyterians, p. 130). In 1704, some Presbyterians residing at Lisburn were excommunicated by the Episcopal authority for the crime of being married by ministers of their own church (id. , p. 136). The Government, however, refused to issue the writs necessary for seizing excommunicated persons, and the offenders escaped imprisonment. Next year a Bill was brought into the Irish Parliament containing clauses which would have rendered Presbyterian marriages illegal. But Mr. Broderick, the Speaker, managed to get these clauses struck out. It was not till 1782 that the Irish Parliament passed a Bill by which marriages of Dissenters celebrated by their ministers were legalised beyond a doubt, although the Lord Chancellor declared that they were already legal.

But mixed marriages, or marriages celebrated between people of dif- ferent religious persuasions, were on quite a different footing. By the Act 12 Geo. I., c. 3, marriages between two Protestants, or a Protestant and a Roman Catholic, by a priest or degraded clergyman, were declared null and void. This disability, as far as the Roman Catholics were con- cerned, was not removed till 1870, when, by the, Act 33 and 34 Vic, c. 110, sec. 38, mixed marriages by a Roman Catholic priest were legalised. The position of the Dissenters may be seen from the following extract from a memorandum amongst Clogher Diocesan Papers (Causes of Ofiice for Clan- destine Marriages) : — " Several of the Dissenting ministers of the Diocese solemnize marriage between members of the Established Church and those of their own sect, and claim it as their right to do so . . . . in such cases (when it came to Ihe knowledge of the Court) citations were issued against the parties so marrying, upon which they always came forward, obtained licence, and were married in Church. The fact is, the Dissenting ministers would use every means in their power to break in upon the Bishop's jurisdiction and abridge his prerogative." In 1840, the Armagh Consistorial Court declared that a marriage between a Presbyterian and an Episcopalian, performed by a Presbyterian minister, was illegal. Next year, a man convicted of bigamy carried the matter to a higher court, on the ground that his first marriage had been celebrated by a Presbyterian minister, although between a Presbyterian and an Episcopalian, In the Queen's Bench, three judges were for liberating the prisoner, and two for his condemnation. In the Lords, the Law Lords being divided, the deci- sion of the fnferior court was upheld and the marriage pronounced in- valid. So great was the consternation on this decision that m 1844 the

26 APPENDIX TO THIRTY-FOURTH REPORT OF THE DEPUTY

Government brought in and passed a Bill declaring valid not only any future, but any past mixed marriages celebrated by Presbyterian ministers.

Mixed marriages by regularly ordained clergymen of the Established Church of Ireland, though without publication of banns or licence, were never void in Ireland, and only voidable in cases of minors and wards ^ entitled to estates over certain limits, if an action were taken within a year *: (9 Geo. II., c. 11, s. 8), but both the clergymen and the partis rendered themselves liable to certain legal penalties, and the clergymen were often degraded by the ecclesiastical authorities. If such a clergyman, however, after being degraded, again ventured to celebrate a mixed marriage, he thereby committed a felony, and rendered himself liable to the provisions of the Act, 12 Geo, I., c. 3, the marriage also being null and void. By the Act of 32 Geo. III., c. 21 (1792) inter-marriage between Protestants and Roman Catholics was permitted, if duly celebrated by a clergyman of the Established Church.

The Marriage Act of 1844 (7 and 8 Vic. , c. 81) regulated the marrij^e laws of the United Kingdom, and clandestine marriages in Ireland hence- forth became invalid.

As may easily be supposed, these clandestine marriages have frequently | lead to litigation, and the registers have often been produced in court. | To judge from the evidence obtainable, it would appear that these mar- | riages, if performed by a duly ordained clergyman of the Church of Ire- I land, were regarded as valid, and the entries in the registers generally accepted as evidence, though in the case of " Browne v. Copland " (Del&. gates Court, 1847), the registers of the Reverend Jas. Maguire were^not accepted as evidence. The Court was of opinion that " though these irre- gtilar marriages are to a certain degree by law binding, no one will pretend to say that they are regarded with favour. The Courts of Law are bound to submit to them when fully proved, but not to facilitate the proof of this sort of marriage. For these reasons we are of opinion that these books should not be received for any purpose." In England, by the Act of 3 and 4 Vic, c. 92, dealing with the custody of some non-parochial regis- ters, the registers of the " Fleet " parsons were expressly declared to be inadmissible in a court of law as evidence.

On the other hand, in the case of Cluxton, a bankrupt, 1875, Judge Harrison was so struck with the enormous importance of the registers of these couple-beggars, " containing records which affected the legitimacy and rights of property of so many persons," that in 1877 he recommended that they should be obtained by Government. He also wrote : — " Evidence was taken before me in the course of the proceedings to establish the fact that this marriage was celebrated by a clergyman named ' Maguire,' who was an ordained clergyman of the Church of England and Ireland, and who celebrated marriages clandestinely in Dublin for several years before the passing of the Marriage Act of 1844, and this being established to my satisfaction, I decided that the marriage was a valid marriage, and that the Bankrupt was legitimate."* In the year 1875, Lord Chancellor Ball wrote : — "There is no doubt that in these books may be found the only record of marriages, which, though irregular (not being either by banns or licence), were legally valid and binding, and the offspring legitimate. I have known Mr. Schulz* book used in proceedings in which questions of this kind arose — and these are exactly similar and of equal value." In the case of " Kearney v. Walker," which was tried in the Probate and Matrimonial Court, London, in the year 1874, where it was sought to recall letters of administration of the estate of James Kearney, the case turned upon the validity of the marriage of James Kearney to Julia Farrell by the Reverend Mr. Baggs, a clergyman in holy orders, who was termed a

* Another example is afforded by the matter of Maguire a Minor, in Chancery. In this case in 1840 it was referred to Master Brooke to enquire, amongst other matters, as to whether a marriage celebrated between the minor and one Margaret Hamilton, by the Reverend J. Maguire, was a legal marriage. In his report be B tated that such marriage was a valid and legal marriage.

couple-beggar, at his house in Straw Market, Dublin, on the 11th August, 1834. Mr. Arthur Samuels produced the register of the Reverend Mr. Baggs, and also the certificate of the marriage. After hearing the evi- dence, Judge Hannen expressed himself satisfied that the above marriage of the deceased was valid. From the evidence which Mr. A. Samuels gave about the case (see Cluxton, a Bankrupt), it is clear that he considered that it was the production of the register and the certificate which decided the case. He also stated that both he and his father were in the habit of giving certificates of marriages from these books, and that " they were never questioned."

(Considering the value of these registers in proving the legitimacy of so many thousands of people, it has been thought advisable to put upon record any information as to the custody of these records since the death of these clergymen until they came into the possession of this office. Mr. Arthur Samuels deposed (Cluzton, a Bankrupt, 1875) that he bought the registers of Caldwell, Wood, AUen, Baggs, Hobart, M'Kenna, and Stenson, on the 8th October, 1872, from Mrs. Catherine King, widow of the late John King, who received them from his sister, the late Mrs. Jane Wood, widow of the Reverend Joseph Wood. After the death of the last-named, his widow employed the other clergymen enumerated above to celebrate these marriages. It will be found that most of the registers of these clergymen contain endorsements in the handwriting of Mrs. Wood, indi- cating the names of those who performed the marriages recorded in the respective books. Mr. Samtiels also deposed that the registers of King, Harris, Shulze, and Maguire came into possession of his father, the Registrar of the Consistorial Court of Dublin. With respect to the register of the Reverend Matthew Harris, Mrs. Stephens, his stepdaughter, deposed (Durward v. Durward) that it was formerly in her possession, but was afterwards lodged in the Consistorial Court, so that it is probably in this way that this register came into Mr. Samuels' possession. The register of the Reverend J. G. F. Shulze, in the custody of this office (1835-9), is probably the same as the one lodged with Messrs. Stock, of the Dublin Consistorial Registry, in 1842. Two other registers (1806-1837) of this clergyman are at present in the custody of the Registrar-General, having been bought by Government in 1870 from Mr. James Meyer, 13, Old Mount Pleasant, Ranelagh, nephew by marriage of the Reverend J. G. F. Shulze. At the time of his selling these registers to the Government, he made a declaration that these books came into his possession at the time of his uncle's death, and continued so till lodged in the General Registry Office ; that he believed that they contained the registry of marriages which his ixncle celebrated ; that he believed that the entries were most, if not all, in his uncle's handwriting, and that none had been added since they came into his possession. With respect to the registers of the Reverend Jas. Maguire, his widow declared in her evidence (Cluzton, a Bankrupt) that she had lodged them with Mr. Samuels for safety sometime between the years 1844-1850, as far as she could remember, and that she had protected them as weU as she could.

The following is a list of the clergymen whose registers are in the cus- tody of this office, together with any information which has been collected about them : —

THE THIRTY-FIFTH HEPOBT

OF THE

DEPUTY KEEPER OF THE PUBLIC RECOlillS

AND KEEPER OF THE STATE PAPERS IN IRELAND.

mo THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF DUDLEY,

■ LOED LIEUTENAXT-GENERA.L AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND

\.Y IT PLEASE YOUR EXCELLENCY.

» respectfully beg to submit my Keport, under the direction the Eight Honourable the Master of the Eolls, and pursuant ^the 24th section of the Public Eecords (Ireland) Act, 1867, ^nthe proceedings had during the year 1902 in connexion with file Public Eecords of Ireland.

S.. A further addition to the counties whose Eecords have xsxiv.. par 3,

1>eeii brought within the charge of the Master of the Eolls was

loade by Order in Council of 24th July, 1902, deahng under

"feion 5 of the Pubhc Eecords Act, with the Eecords of the

XHerk of the Crown and Clerk of the Peace for the county of

tJalway and Clerk of the Crown and Peace for the town of

Galway. Owing to the pressure of work entailed m deahng

Anth the papers from the three counties whose Eecords were

Jto given in charge in 1901, it has not been found possible, as

yet, to take up the Galway Eecords.

1^. At the request of H.E.H. the Commander of the Forces tti, Ireland a number of books and documents were received fci the offices of the mihtary head-quarters in the Eoyal Hospital. As these were not covered by the general provisions ^.the Eecords Act, and as His Eoyal Highness desired that %y should be preserved here subject to the same rules as g»Vem the retention of similar documents in the London ^rd Office, the warrant authorising their removal was pre- ?8red under the 16th section of the Act ; and regulations are App. i. ^sed on the public access to the later papers similar to

THE THIRTY-FIFTH REPORT OF THE DEPUTY KEEl'Ei;

»r. -29.

3. The Irish Land Commissioners, in accordance with the provisions of the Irish Church-Amendment Act, 1881, Sect, j, Sub- Sect. 3, made a further transfer to this Office, of liecords which belonged to the former Estabhshed Church of Ireland. The}' are of a very miscellaneous character, including, besidf- certain documents specially mentioned below, Presentiitiuns, Licences, Certificates, Sequestration Papers, Building l'aper<. Plans, Leases, Mortgages, Commissions, Returns, Petition.v. Memorials, Citations, Proxies, Titles, Pirst Fruits papers, ^vc

4. A Parish Register of Births, Deaths, and Marriages which had for many years remained in the possession of the represen- tatives of a former churchv^arden , was offered to this Office hy a person to whose hands it had come, and a reward was paid by the Treasury at the instance of the Irish Government.

ixiv., p«r. 4. 5. Further progress has been made in the transcription of the volumes of the Civil Survey preparatory to the deposit. by H.M. Commissioners of Woods, Forests, and Laud Revenue, of the originals in this Office. The volumes for County Londonderry have been completed ; those for Lnnerick are in progress.

6. At the request of the l)epartment for Technical Educa- tion, the cover of one of the volumes of the Journals of ilu Irish House of Commons, removed from the book for the pur- pose, was lent to the Department for exhibition in the Art collection at the Cork Exhibition.

7. One of the clerks on the staff of this Office, Mr. P. Kent, has been transferred to the Offices of the Local Oovernment Board, Ireland. His place has been filled by the appointment on Civil Service Commissioners' Certificate, of Mr. David A. Chart. The facilities afforded for transfer and removal on vc- examination of clerks apjDointed under the Class I. open exami- nation scheme has proved very detrimental to the efficiency of this Office. The employment of a clerk for some time after appointment to this Office necessarily consists in training m palaeography, and in acquiring a knowledge of the nature, use. and arrangement of the Records. In the frequent cases of removal from this Office, this training is rarely of any nsc in the Department to which the clerk is transferred. The ])erio(l of training, therefore, represents a serions waste of pubhc tinie : while by the depletion of skilled hands the work of this O&icc is much retarded.

8. The Great Rolls of the Pipe of the Irish Exchequei- con- tain an important collection of accounts of sheriffs. escbcator>. and other public officers. These accounts afford an impovtnn illustration of the extent and power of the central noverniiieii'- especially during the 14th century, a period for which siicJi information is much needed for the elucidation of Irish history. The rolls are practically unused by historical students. 1 P''^

Si.

Ipose to have prepared a catalogue of the accounts on these lolls, with notes of matters of special interest. Some progj-css has been made in this work by ^Ir. MacEnery, and the cata- logue of the accounts on the few surviving rolls of the reign of King Henry III. is printed in the Appendix. Apr. riT.

fv 9. The transfer and arraijgenient of the liecords from the xxxiv., par. 2.

Offices of the Clerk of the Crown and Peace of Waterford, and ;the Clerk of the Peace of Kilkenny, have been completed. A

Jist of the classes of Records will be found in paragraphs 30 "%id 51. The removal of the Eecords from Donegal had not '^en completed at the end of the year.

^.10. A further deposit of copies of \A'ills pi'eserved in thi xxiUi., par. 6.

-^state Duty Office, comprising those extending from 1819 to

Jj.827 has been received from the Eegistrar. A partial examina-

iBon tends to show that the collection contains a few copies.

the originals of which were not received from the Probate

Offices. In the present reduced state of the ex^^erienced stall

■of the Office it has been found necessary to postpone for a time

i complete examination.

26 THE THIRTi:-rirTH REPORT O^ TK£ I^EPUTY ivEEPEU

79. The Annual Keports required by the 6th sectiou oi' tl„. Parochial Records Act, 1876, from the clergymen to wjio^e custody Records were committed under Retention Orders w <.,^. with one exception, all duly received last year.

80. Notwithstanding the fullest observance of the provisions of the Parochial Records Act intended to safeguard the Records allowed to remain in approved repositories in the parishes, the experience of former years has been more than borne out liy the events of 1902. During last year three volumes in tlireV distinct parishes, each supposed to be protected by the carryiii- out in every detail of the requirements of the Act of 1876, were reported to be missing. In one case the book was found after representations to the incumbent from this Office. In twu others, Drumballyroney and Carnew, the fullest inquiries liavt- failed to elicit any information as to the lost books. In Kil- meen, Co. Cork, where a still graver crime has sinee l»eeii committed, the safe was early last year dislodged by thie\es from its place in the vestry wall, broken open, and the Reconlt, removed ; though subsequently recovered by the police.

81. Complaints continue to be made by persons engaged in genealogical research of the difficulty of gaining access to tin- Registers in local custody. Occasionally, also, to the extrava- gant fees demanded for the examination of the books. In (^iie of these cases, which occurred in a prominent Dublin chiinli. the sum asked as fee for searching the Registers was wholly prohibitory. It would seem that if the safety of the older books is to be secured, and their utility to the public preserved, measures should be taken to ensure that, as intended l>y the Act of 1875, they should be deposited in this Office.

82. A Register of the parish of Faughart, from the conse- cration of the church, has been restored to this Office after an absence from proper custody of more than half a century. It would appear to have been in the hands of a former Church- warden and of his representatives during most of this time. J* is probable that many such books are still preserved in ]\Ianor Houses, or Agents' or Solicitors' offices, or among the papers <■. former Clergymen, The restoration of such books would prove of great importance.

83. The Government Papers received were :— rrum i^^ Registrar, Chief Secretary's Office, 67 cartons of papers h«^* 1892 , and the registers and index for 1890 ; Parliamentary T*'^ turns, 1860-80; Minute Book and Letter Books, 1885 to IS^'; of Educational Endowments Commission.

86. The collection and arrangement of papers relating to jithe Composition and Applotment has been completed.

87. Convict papers and Judges' Reports have been arranged (rom 1794 to 1823; and those from 1777 to 1789, with Index, lave been transferred to Eecord Office. The indexing of this jcries is being continued. •*"

,1 88. The space remaining for deposit of papers having become ^ restricted, a certain amount of further accommodation has IJeen secured by a re-arrangement of Miscellaneous Papers for ]|30-9. These have been removed from Carton Boxes and me^e up in brown -paper parcels. For papers rarely con- lulted the latter form of deposit is more suitable, and occupies much less space.

-S,89. The transfer to the Eecord Office included : Constabulary par 54. Becords for the period 1796-1846. These consist chiefly of papers and books ranging between 1822 to 1837, at which date, uader 6 & 7 Will. IV., c. 13, a new organisation of the force wi^ adopted.

20 THE THIRTY-SIXTH REPORT OF THE DEPUTY KEEPER

68. The Records have been retained in the parish under Retention Order in the case of Balbriggan, Bailee, Beciive, and S. John's, Sandymount. The number of Retention Orders granted by the Master of the Rolls, permittmg the retention of Parish Records in approved receptacles in their respective parishes, is 607, of which 577 were still in force at the end of the year.

The Annual Reports required by the 6th section of tlie Parochial Records Act, 1876, from the cler^men to whose custody Records were committed under Retention Orders, were all duly received last year.

69. Repeated complaints continue to be received as to the difficulty of access to the older Parish Registers which remain in local custody, and also to the unsatisfactory conditions under which, in many cases, it is alone possible to consult them. It seems that in many parishes there is no suitable provision for meeting the needs of genealogical enquirers. Moreover, the conditions which are intended to secure the Records from fire and thieves, have in many cases tended to expose them to increased injury from damp. Influenced by such considera- tions, one city clergyman last year deposited his old books in this Ofi&ce. It would greatly benefit the public, as well as the records themselves, if this example were more widely followed.

70. Registers of two parishes held under Retention Orders in parish safes were during the year reported to have dis- appeared. In one case (an important tbvm parish) the books, which had been improperly removed from the safe by a curate, were, after a lengthened correspondence, recovered : in the other case, after some correspondence, the book stated to be wanting was also reported to be recbvered.

71. The attention which has been directed to the Parish Records has been productive of some good. An old register of the parish of S. Michael, Dublin, 1656-1750, the existence nf which had been for a long time unknown, has come to li?ht amonff the muniments of another parish, and been restored to its place here. A register of the parish of Timogne, Queen's Co., containing entries from 1798 to 1845, has also been restored to its place among the records of the parish here, having been generously presented by T. S. Moyles, Esquire.

72. In the original administration of the ParishiRecords Act, it WPS contemplated that the current books might be capnhlc of. division, so that when possible the later entries, after Pi?- establishment, might be separated from those previous tn it. enabling the former to remain in the parish while the older books were deposited here. This was not at first found feasible. The Master of the Rolls has during 190.S authorised the adoption of this course in cases now pending for remornl. where it can be done without injury to the books, and it has pccordinglv been carried out in several cases.

The Government Papers received durnig the year were : — From the Registrar, Chief Secretary's Ofiice, 71 cartons of papers for the year 1893, 9 cartons Compensation ])apers 1882-3, Kegisters and Index 1891. From the Council Of6ce, 29 cartons of Parhamentary Peturns, 187G to 1894, 4 bundles of books and papers relating to Polling Districts 1873, being part of the collection received in 1889, (see Pteport xxii., p. 34).

76. The papers received from the 'Council Office have been checked, and p)ut up in carton boxes Nos. 3829-58. and those from Chief Secretarj^'s Office from 3859-3926.

77. The Distress Papers, 1891, contained in 37 cartons received in 1901, have been arranged and parcelled. The Evicted Tenants Commission (1892-3) Papers, 27 cartons and bundles, have been arranged and parcelled. Applications for situations 1880-3 have been arranged and parcelled.

78. Convict and Prisoners Papers (Transportation), 178U- 1837, have been arranged. A number of Judges' Reports on Convict Cases, not originally put up with the regular series, have been arranged and indexed.

79. A calendar of papers connected with the State of the Country has been carried down to 1803. A small collection contained in four cartons labelled " Selected Papers " had been

^;at some former time taken from this series. As there seemed ^no good reason for continuing it as a separate class, the papers 'have been restored to their places in the jmncipal series. A 'number of miscellaneous ]mpers not hitherto classed have been

examined and inserted in the classes to which they relate. i All which is humbly submitted to Your Excellency as n^y

Report.

THE THIllTY-SEYENTH REPORT

OF TICE

DEPUTY KEEPEE OP THE PUBLIC llEGOliJ)^

AND KEEPER OF THE STATE PAPERS IN IRELAND.

TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE THE EARL OF DUDLEY,

LORD LIEUTENANT-GENERAL AND GENERAL GOVERNOR OF IRELAND,

May IT PLEASE YOUR Excellency.

J respectfully beg to submit my Report, under the direction of the Right Honourable the Master of the Rolls, and pursuant to the 24th section of the Public Records (Ireland) Act, 1867, on the proceedings had during the year 1904 in connexion with ihe Public Records of Ireland.

1. The number of counties whose records have been brought under the charge of the Master of the Rolls has been further added to by Order in Council of 6th September, 19U4, dealing with the Records of the Clerks of the Crown and Peace of the county of Antrim, and of county of the city of Belfast.

2. The arrangement of the jDapers included in the primary xxxvi,, par, transfer of the county records of Donegal has been completed.

A hst of the classes included will be found in jjar. 32. The arrangement of the Galway County Records is in progress.

3. Further progress has been made in the transcription of xxxv., par. the volumes of the Civil Survey. Those for Co. Limerick

have been completed, and Co. Meath commenced.

4. The amount of fees paid by the pubhc for access t<j and copies of Records as shown at par. 56, is the largest for any one year since the estabhshment of the Office. The number of paid inspections is also the highest, being about double of the average annual number of twenty-five years ago. These facts indicate a great increase in the legal business of the Office. This large addition to its modern use, tends to cri23ple the

J resources of the Office for historical work. In the original

6 THE THlRTY-SEVENTfe REPORT OF THE DEPUTY KEEPER

design of the Office it was contemplated that a portion of the higher stafi' would be allocated exclusively to the work of calen- daring records, and acquiring an extensive acquaintance with genealogy, topography, and general historical information necessary for their elucidation. In the earlier days of the work of the Department, when the contents of a dozen Kecord re- positories were being hurried in, this ideal was unattainable. Even yet, owing to the pressure of greatly increased legal work, with large collections not contemplated by the Eecords Act still coming in, and with a diminished staff, it has not become possible to detail any portion of the staff exclusively to record work and research. Some increase in the number of the j)re- sent staff is requisite if this primary purpose of the Office is to be fulfilled, while its growing current work continues to be adequately carried on.

5. On March 31 the remaining clerk of the State Paper Office staff', Mr. J. J. Maginn, retired on pension. This vacancy had not been filled at the close of the year. Mr. Maginn has since died.

6. The Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned an alteration Id the scale of the clerks which will ultimately effect a material improvement in the salaries.
