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. Schedules
are given at paragraphs 70 and 71 respectively.

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 : —

4th Report, D.K.R., pp. 24-5. As the papers under many of the

89. The Master of the Rolls cancelled the Retention (^rdcr for

APPENDIX I.
Corrections to Ihe Addenda to tlie Dublin Grants Index, 1272-1800.

At the time of making the Addenda to the above Index, the
ui-ii^inal Marriage Licence Books for the periods 1672-1<J'J7. 1712-
1741, were supposed to be lost, and the Addenda was compiled from a
:\[S. Index in the possession of H. Farnham Burke, E; q , Somerset
Herald. The origiral books were, however, found in 1897 among the
Rule Books in the Registrar's Office of the Diocese of Duolin, and
were removed here ; they are as follows : —

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.

" 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.

hereof, and believe me to be,

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.
•' Tiie 55th Regiment vrixa upon guard on the Isc inst., and the 47th
on the Gth.
" 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.

" It would be iiajusiice not to acknowledge that the commanding ofilcei tj
,jf the -j-jch and 47th Regiments have behaved themselves with gieiiu
,i\ ilitv and politeness upon this unlucky occasion. They with all dili-
^'t'lice discovered the otfenders, and ntl'eved to try them by a court niaitial,
but as Lord Clermont was then in the country, and expected in town in
:i, few days I thought it right to wait for his lordship's orders.

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. Palmer's* original engagement, which we understand to be 3d. per
English mile down aud Ihd. back, with half a guinea p. week to each
of the attending guards (should such be deem'd necessary), warranting
us a contract for twenty-one years or any longer engagement you may
deem our humble endeavours worthy of.

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 : —
^
KEEPER OF THE PUBLIC KECORDS IN IRELAND. 93
" Custom House, Waterford,
" 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.
" I am, Avith great re^^pect, Hond. Sirs,
" Your most obedt. hble. servt.,
" J. Gahan,

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

SrE, — I have the honour to actjuaint you that I was dispatched V)y
Lord Sydney on the 21st ulto., and arrived here on the 2()th, on the
next day had an audience of the Duke of Dorset, wdio furnished me
with a letter to Monsr. 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
KEEPER OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS IN IRELAND. 97
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

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.

The following copy of the draft of a reply to a Treasury letter gives
an ex]:)lanation of a very confusing use of one; of-the terms employed
to describe the money of account here. It thro^vs Ijght on a question
which even yet sometimes causes a difficulty.
" Dublin Castle, 16th February, 1786.
'• Dear Sir, — Agreeably to your desire I communicated the enclosed
petition of Charlotte, Duchess Dowager of Athol, to my Lord Lieutenant,
and His Grace requests that you will inform Mr. Pitt that the expression
in His Majesty's grant for the payment of Her Grace's annuity in lawful
money of' Great Britain does not imply British currency distinguished
from Irish currency, with a difference of exchange, but means no more
tlian that the payment of the annuity shall be made in such lawful
money as is current in Great Britain as well as in Ireland. The ex-
pression is made use of in similar grants and is common in bonds and
other legal proceedings here where Irish money only is the considera-
ticm.

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.

date, forwarding, for submission to His Excellency the Lord
Lieutenant, the 1'hirty-second Report of the Deputy Keeper of
the Public Records and Keeper of the State Papers in Ireland.

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,

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.

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.

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

tions from 1782 ; the other. Baptisms, Marriages, and Bui'ials,
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.

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 w hose ap pointment 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.
r
'30 APPENDIX TO THIRTY-SECO.VD REPORT OF THE DEPUTY
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.

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

pared by the Senior Crown Counsel, and those at Quarter Sessions
by the Clerk of the Peace. They are laid before the grand jury,
and if they find a " true bill," the foreman signs accordingly " for
self and fellows," and the case is then tried by a petty jury. 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

amongst " Mayors' or Reoorders' Papers "). With the petition was
included a schedule of his debts and assets, and an assignment of
his property. 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. Between 1821 — 1852 almost the only
insolvency papers in the various Peace Offices are the petitions
to the Assistant Barrister to grant insolvent a weekly allowance
from his creditors, or, in default, to discharge him from custody.

<e>sion.s of the Peace for the covinty of Londonderry. — See also
■• Magistrates' Lists."
MAGISTRATES' COMMISSIONS, .... 1733—1874.
These are commissions issued to certain men in a county to be
i Helices of the peace for that county. When anyone is made a
ju-iice of the peace, a new commission for the county is issued,
.lirccted to all the magistrates by name, including the new magis-
trate, with special reference to those who are to be of the quorum.
MAGISTRATES' LISTS, APPOINTMENTS, &c., . 1787—1878.
These lists were made out for various reasons. By the Act
27 George III., c. 40, Lists of magistrates in the county were made
out for the Judge of Assize, and also lists of magistrates who were
ordered to attend sessions by the Judges of Assize. More recently,
the lists consist of copy lists made out by the Clerk of the Peace
for the Clerk of the Crown and Hanaper, and revised lists sent by
the Hanaper Office with correspondence on the same subject; hsts
of magistrates, with their attendance at petty sessions, and returns
of magistrates pursuant to Parliamentary Orders. (" Treasurers'
Election Papers," " Sessions, Petty, District Papers," &c., also con-
tain lists of magistrates, while for coimty Louth a list from the four-
teenth century is to be foimd in a " Crown Book at Assize.") Be-
sides these Lists, the above class consists of letters announcing
appointments to the magistracy, lett-ers applying to be appointed,
correspondence from new magistrates as to procedure, letters of
resignation, reinstatement, and various kinds of communications
with respect to the magistracy. There are also a few other papers
included, such as magistrates' resolutions {see also " Crown Books "),
and protests, passport circulars, &c.
^LVGISTEATES' QUALIFICATIONS, see "Magistrates and Cess
PrHvers' Oaths and Declarations."
iLVGISTRATES' WRITS OF DEDIMUS, . . 1770—1835.
Upon appointment of anyone to be a justice of the peace, a
commission is issued to one of the magistrates of the same county,
giving him power to call the new magistrate before liim, and
administer to him the oaths, and hear him make the declaration.

cellor, requesting that a copy of the writ may be served on the
magistrate to be superseded. A Retiurn of Service is endorsed on
the writ, which should be returned to the Crown and Hanaper
Office.
MAGISTRATES' AND CESS PAYERS' OATHS,
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. By the Local ijrovemment (Ireland) Act, 61
& 62 Yic, c. 67, these declarations are no longer necessary, and
the Road Presentment Sessions business is done by the District
Councils.
MALICIOUS INJURY INFORMA'nONS, . . 1862—1870.
These are informations lodged under the Act 14 & 15 Vic,
c. 93, deposing to mahcious injury received, and binding the
informant to prosecute when called upon. These informations
belong to the Crown Office, coiinty Kerry. In the case of other
counties, see " Crown Files at Assizes or Quarter Sessions." For
petitions for compvensation for malicious injvury, see " Presentment
Papers " ; for awards, see " Presentment Books " ; and for traverses
of award of grand jury, see " Crown Books at Assizes."
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
KEEPEli OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS IN IRELAND. 67
uirv. Besides these records, there are a few bonds and deeds of
appuinLment of seneschals, and grand jury books, containing such
eniries as the appointments of constables, appraisers, adjusters of
woi^'lits and measures, fines for false weights, presentments for
uiiisances, &rC. The civil jurisdiction of the manor courts was
abolished in 1859, by the Act 22 Vic, c. 14.
MANOR COUET PATENTS, 1515—1721.
These are copies, constats or abstracts, of those parts of charters
or loiters patent, by which manorial jiunsdiction was granted. The
seneschals were obliged to lodge these with the Clerk of the Peace
by the Act 27 George III., c. 22, s. 2.
MAPS, PLANS, AWARDS, &c., .... 1777—1878.
These consist principally of maps, &c., ordered by Parliamentary
Standing Orders to be deposited with the Clerk of the Peace,
imder the Acts 7 Wilham IV., and 1 Vic, c 83. They include
maps and plans of railways, tramways, canals, coach and post roads,
and turnpikes; cotirt houses, gaols, bridges, lunatic asylums, in-
firmaries, waterworks, and borough improvements, reservoirs, land
reclamations, piers and harboinrs, drainage, ordnance survey sheets,
boundary maps, Newry and Barrow Navigation, petty sessions dis-
tricts, &c. Together with the maps and plans there are the awards,
inquisitions, judgments, reference books, reports, bye-laws, standing
orders, &c., belonging to them. Amongst this class of maps there
Avill be found a few which should properly be classed under " Pre-
sentment Maps." The maps for coxinty Louth, dated 1777, were
pubHshed in London in 1778.
MARRIED WOMEN'S PROTECTION ORDERS, see " Protection
Orders."
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 : —
.]fa>/nrs or- Recorders Court Papers, . . ■ 1761—1878,
■ which contain declarations, pleas and demurrers, venires,
bills of costs, replications, cognovits, affidavits to show
cause of bail, bail pieces, " sci. fas," issues, petitions,
notices, insolvency petitions, &c. ^

Londonderry only.
For the city of Dublin, the proceedings in the Record Court were
formerly kept under their respective heads, such as Attachments,
Declarations, Pleadings, Bail or manucaptory books, &c. The
Manor Coxu-ts possessed a similar jurisdiction to the above.
MEDICAL CERTIFICATES, 1763—1871.
These are certi^cates issued by medical men to excuse, on account
of ill health, the presence of prosecutors or witnesses from appear-
ing at trials, or jurors from answering to their names when called.
They are more often to be foimd either in " Crown Files," or " Fines
and Estreats, Affidavits and Petitions to reduce."
MEETING HOUSES (RELIGIOUS), NOTICES TO
REGISTER, 1760—1869.
By the Acts 6 George I., c. 5, and 52 George III., c. 155,
Protestant dissenters were relieved from the disabilities imposed
on them by law in the reign of Charles II., and allowed freedom
of worship on condition that they registered their place of assembly
with the bishop, archdeacon, or Clerk of Peace, and took the
oaths of allegiance and supremacy and made a declaration. These
notices simply state that a meeting house has been erected, or deter-
mined upon, for worship at a certain place by a certain sect.

regiments, which were sent to the Clerk of the Peace for the pur-
pose of having them printed in the Gazette under s. 11 of the same
Act ; also books and rolls, which are registers of these property
qualifications, commissions, and promotions. The necessity for
these qualifications for militia officers was abolished in 1869, by the
Act 32 Vic, chap. 13. — See also " Militia Papers."
MILITIA RETURNS AND PAPERS, . . . 1759—1878.

OATHS AND DECLARATIONS.
Oaths may be classed under two heads. First, the oaths of
alle^ance and supremacv, which formerly every one fillmg any
office, as well as Roman CathoHos desiring to qualify for elections,
were obliged to take. For these, see " Oaths of Allegiance, &c.
The second class of oaths comprises those taken by persons on
appointment to an office, being affidavits or declarations of inten-
tion faithfullv and diligently to perform the duties of the office.
These will be found under their several headings, as, ^^ Attorneys
affidavits" "Magistrates' oaths and declarations,' "Constables
oaths," ''Election oaths," &c. By several Acts m the reign ot
Wilham IV., a declaration could in many cases be substituted tor
an oath.

RETURNS), 1805—1830.
These are certificates by the Clerk of the Peace that certain
oeople had taken the oath of allegianoa and made the declaration

70 APPENDIX TO THIRTY-SECOND REPORT OF THE DEPUTY
OATHS OF ALLEGIANCE, &c., ROLLS, . . 1727—1845.
It was formerly necessary (2 Anne, c. 6) for any one holding, or
obtaining, any office, civil or military, or any Roman Catholic
desiring to qualify as an eleotor, to take an oath of allegiance and
supremacy, and to make a declaration against transubstantiation
before being allowed to fill such office, or record his vote at aa
election. 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). The
affidavits of the magistrates before whom oaths were taken, and of
the Clerks of the Peace, who issued certificates, to faithfully perform
their duty, are also included in this series.

polls. They consist of notices to the Clerk of the Peace of inten-
tion to move the Court at Quarter Sessions to petition the Lord
Lieutenant to alter the polhng districts; orders of the Lord

recommending what departures from the petty sessions boundaries
should be made in constituting the polling districts, and the orders
of justices of special sessions appointed by the Lord Lieutenant
dividing the county into polling districts and appointing polling
places. However, it being necessary in some cases to alter these
arrangements, imder the Polling Districts Act of 1873, we have -i
lists of the polling districts as confirmed or altered by the Order of
the Lord Lieutenant. The Polling Districts and Petty Sessions
Map for CO. Londonderry is an Ordnance Survey map, with the
separate polling and petty sessions districts marked out, and the
chansres recommended.
POLLING- OFFICERS' OR SHERIFFS' POLL

borrow money ; to insure workhouses against fire ; for contracting
for vaocination ; general orders, <fec. With these orders are also
included chairman's certificates of the election of magistrates as
ex-offlcio guardians, and nomination and voting papers connected

POOR RATE DECREES (COMMON LAW
COURTS), 1849—1868.
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

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

claims of Householders and Freeholders were kept distinct, so that
the claims should be sought for under these separate titles.

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. The reason for their appearance in these collec-
tions would seem to be that the Clerks of the Crown and Peace some-
times carried on, at the same time, professional work as solicitors
or held other offices, such as that of Town Clerk. Many documents
of a private nature will also be found under " Miscellaneous " and

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. '.
18. The examination and systematic arrangement of the
large collections of Account and other books of the Vice-trea-
surer, Auditor, Teller, and other Officers of the Revenue ii^

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.

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,

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.

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.

HANAPER OFFICE.
Profits accrued to the Crown from the sums paid on sealing writs,
Letters patent of lands or offices, pardons. Court of Wards and Liveries,
and King's Lands.
The Lord Chancellor for the time being from 5 James I., was entitled
to a moiety of the receipts, and had power to order out of the other moiety,
any disbursements he thought necessary for the use of the Chancery Court.
The balance was paid into the Exchequer.
In passing his account before the Co'mmissioners of Imprest Accounts
th'fe Clerk of the Hanaper produced the Office entry book showing all
receipts which he verified on oath. This was his charge. The discharge
consisted of the Lord Chancellor's receipt for moiety, warrants for dis-
bursements, and Exchequer acquittances for payments into the Treasury.
Accounts, 1570-1711. — These are the audited engrossed accounts of the
Hanaper Office, and give receipts, issues, and balances of the accounts.
These entries are summaries of the receipts, &c. Full entries of receipts
appear in the Receipt Rolls.
Receipt Ttnlls, 1548-1718.— Tliese give full particulars of the receipts.
From 1548 to 1568 these rolls have the accounts of receipts for First
Fruits, Twentieth parts, and Subsidies. The roll for 1568-70 has
Hanaper Accounts. Customs, and Subsidies. There is a Roll of M.
1628, which gives the receipts of the Clerk of the Crown. King's Bench.
HEARTH MONEY, POLL TAX, AND SUBSIDY ROLLS.
Hearth Money was a tax of 2s. on every hearth and fire place, estab-
lished by the Act 14 and 15 Car. II., c. 17, and payable at Lady Day
KEEPEU OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS IN IRELAND. 45
and Michaelmas by equal portions. The first portion was payable on
Lady Day 1663, and it was to be collected in the different counties by the
sheriffs.
The persons liable to pay were to be entered in a list which was to be
prepared by the Justices of the Peace, and lodged with the Clerk of the
Peace ; and a duplicate thereof, signed by three Justices, was to be sent
to the Exchequer. These lists are laiown as the Hearth Money Rolls.
Returns of any increase or diminution of hearths were to be sent to the
Exchequer as in case of the original return.
By 17 & 18 Car. II., c. 18, the entire sum became payable on the 10th
January, yearly.
The rolls contain, according to counties, baronies, parishes, &c., the
names of the inhabitants liable to the tax, and the amounts they were
to pay. So far as the number of heartlis witli which each person is
charged can be taken as an indication of wealth and rank, these lists are
a valuable addition to local and family history.
The Poll Tax with which the lists in this collection deals was estab-
lished by the Act 7 Wm. III., c. 15, and was a duty of one shilling on
every person, no matter of what age or sex. However, no person charge-
able with one shilling only was obliged to pay for more than two children
under the age of sixteen.
The ^clergy, from archbishops to parsons, and the laity from dukes to
gentlemen, otficials and traders, were liable to heavy amounts according
to their degree.
The Commissioners appointed for each county were to cause duplicates
of the whole sums charged on every hundred, barony, ward, &c. (without
naming the persons), ixnder the hands of tliree of them, to be delivered to
the sheriff of the county, who was to transmit it to the Exchequer before
20th Jan., 1695-6. These are the lists in this collection.
Subsidies were grants made to the King from a very early date ; but,
with the exception of Co. Armagh, Dublin City, and a few concerning
all Ireland, the rolls preserved all relate to the period from 1662 to 1669.
Subsidies, both lay and clerical, were granted by the Parliament which
commenced to sit m Dublin on the 8th May, 1661.
By the Act 14 and 15 Chas. II., c. 24, the clergy granted eight sub-
sidies, at the rate in the Act, payable half-yearly, the first payment on
Feb. 1661-2, and the last on Aug., 1669. There are no clerical subsidy
rolls in this collection, but as the tax to be raised was very much like
that of Twentieth parts the corresponding particulars can be found on
looking at the Twentieth parts records. The lay subsidies are as
follows : —
A grant of eight subsidies, payable in 1662-3, must have been made at
same time with the subsidy of the clergy, but the Act does not appear to
have been preserved. By the Act 14 and 15 Chas. II., c. 6, four subsidies,
payable quarterly, were voted to commence after the payment of the eight
subsidies, that is to be payable in 1664.
By the Act 14 and 15 Chas. II. , c. 7, eight subsidies were voted, payable
half-yearly, the first payment on Midsummer, 1665, and the last on
Christmas, 1668. Four subsidies granted in 1665 by the Act 17 and 18
Chas. II., c. 1, were to be levied in addition to, in the same way, and at
same times, as the previous eight stibsidies under 14 and 15 Chas. II., c. 7.
These lay subsidies were to be levied olf temporalities, lands and goods.
Commissioners were appointed to deliver detailed lists of persons taxed
to the sheriffs, &c., who were to collect the subsidies, and they were to
return gross amounts into the Exchequer as a check on the Collectors'
uCLxunts.
46 APPEi^DIX TO THIRTi'-THIKD REPORT OF THE DEPUTY

Issue Books, 1794-1835. — These contain, in the order in which pay-
ments were actually made, abstracts of the orders on the Vice-Treasurer
or Teller to make the payments. Their arrangement is somewhat com-
plex — they are referred to by volume and page, or by page only, in the
classes of ledgers corresponding to them. The portion 1823-36 is really a ,
continuation of the Journal of Issues, Pells Office, but being referred to J
by the civil and military ledgers, the books are regarded as Issue Books.,
They are classified as follows : —

Issue Books (Civil), 1823-37. — The first two books of the series appear
to be a continuation of the Civil, &c.. Issue Books above, ending at 1822:
as the ledgers do not refer to these, but to Journals of issues which are
classed as Issue Books above, they are not included in the General Issue
Books. The remainder of this series, 1824-37, contains personal accounts
in rough dictionary order, running through four quarters of each year in
one folio, and giving name, date of order, amount, date of issue.
Issue Books (Military), 1823-4. — These are a continuation of the Mili-
tary Issue Books above, ending in 1822 : as the ledgers do not refer to
them, but to the Journals of issues, as above, they are not included
with the General Issue Books.
Issue Books (Military, Paymaster-General) , 1823—36. — These give refer-
ence to Paymaster's Ledger, 1823, the only one of its kind ; numbers of

master-General of the Forces, 1824-6, and Paymaster-General's Ledger of
General and Staff Officers, &c., 1824-36.
Journal of Issues, 1794-1822. — These entries in classified form give all
payments made weekly in the Treasury. They extend from 1794 to 1822,
and up to 1799 there are two books for alternate weeks, each year. They
were kept in the PeUs Office, but, on the abolition of that Office in 1822,
the series was continued in the Vice-Treasurer's Office as general issue
books, and, as such, are referred to by the Civil and Military Ledger.
Memorandum Books, 1802-17. — These give, in memorandum shape, the
particulars of orders for issues, and contain name of party, account, sum,
fund payable from, order of Lords of Treasury, date of issue, and number

LEDGERS.
There are a great many classes of ledgers, and the information they
supply is extensive and most important.
^, District Yeomanry Corps, 1797--1802. — Separate ledgers were kept for
II the various district yeomanry corps during period of these ledgers, and
Sr they refer to the Issue Book authorising the payments therein.
t Grants and Issues, 1804--37. — These give classified accounts, civil and.
military, of all issues from the Treasury, under the heads under which
f they ought to be accounted for. An account is opened for every grant ; on
5^ the Dr. side appear the payments posted from the day books, and on the
■C Cr. side the amount of the grant. They thus show the amount of a grant
^- unissued without having to refer to the Auditor-General.
"^~. Some of the details are very meagre ; for example, one order may con-
5 tain the entire amount for salaries on Civil List for one quarter. From
?-v 1802-22 they have a column referring to Warrant Book for authority for
If payment.
Pay, Salarii, and Allowance, 1804-16. — These books were kept in the
Treasury, and contain personal accounts of the principal officers, whose
^ accounts are also given in the Military (and Civil Grants) Ledgers up to
|r^. 1822 ; and the series is continued as Grant Ledger, Paymaster-General's
Office. The items are entered in a confused form, but the date of pay-
ment, amount, and title of account are given.
.^__ Faymaster-GeneraV s Office. — There were three kinds of ledgers kept in
'4f-. the Paymaster-General's Office, viz. : —
:r#^- 1st. General and Staff Officers, Garrisons, dec, 1823-36. — These
:.L;. books have columns referring to number in numerical register of
:i-:.>>. accounts and page of Military- (Paymaster-General) Issue Book.
• 2nd. Grant Ledger. — These contain personal accounts which were
:^i^-= kept in the Pay, Salary and Allowance, and Military Ledgers, pre-
::3s,. vious to 1823, when the Civil and Military Ledgers were amalga-
.■^^. mated. Personal accounts, instead of being kept in the amalga-
mated ledger, as formerly, were now kept in this series. They give
date of payment, number of warrant, and reference to Paymaster's
Military Issue Book. They extend from 1823 to 1836.
3rd. raymastcr-Genrral's, 1823. — This gives the account of the
Secretary-at-War with the Vice-Treasurer, who was Paymaster-
General of the forces. On the Dr. side appear payments by the
Bank of Ireland for military purposes, and on the Cr. side warrants

50 APPENDIX TO THIRTY-THIRD REPORT OF THE DEPUTY
Begimental Ledger, 1823-36. — These contain, on the Dr. side, date of
pajinent, number of warrant, service, reference to Paymaster's military
issue book, and the amount. On the Cr. side appear net expenditure,
together with any sums repaid by army agents pursuant to the clearing
warrants of the Secretary-at-War.
The accounts were kept for the army agents in respect of individual
regiments, and they extend from 1823 to 1836.
Treasury Ledgers, 1693-1836. — These volumes are sometimes stjded
•Treasury Ledgers and sometimes Exchequer Ledgers. Up to 1729 they
contain in classified form accounts of all receipts and payments made in
the Treasury on the Civil and JMilitary Establishments, Concordatum,
.and for secret or exceptional services ; but from that date they only give
-the payments.
The books are most valuable, furnishing an account of the salaries
attached to the various departments, together with the names and rank
of the principal officials. The series, except the early portion, is com-
plete. There is a column referring to the page of Treasury Cash Book
for original entry of payment. After Issue Books were started the refer-
ence is made to them and not to the Cash Books.
In some years, when accounts were very large, other ledgers, which are
really portions of these ledgers, were kept. These are Consolidated Fund,
District Corps, Paymaster-General's, and Vote of Credit Ledgers.
To explain the nature of the entries more fully, I give a list of the
ledger accounts for the year 1793.
Exchequer, King's Bench, Chancery, Common Pleas,
• State Officers, Incidents, Custom Officers, Perpe-
tuities, Appeals, Nonconforming Ministers, Com-
missioners and Overseers of Barracks, Admiralty,

For other years the accounts would be different, and as a ruk' ihr
accounts become more numerous for more recent years.
• The accounts. Civil and Militarj', were kept in one series up t>') the
year 1796, from this jjeriod to 1823 they were kept in two series, and
from 1823 to 1836 the series is again united. Consolidated Fund, Dis-
trict Corps, Payniaster-General's, and Vote of Credit Ledgers were als^
kept for certain periods. They are, practically, other sub-divisions of
these Ledgers.
With reference to Military Ledgers from- 1804 to 1811, they are
entitled " Military and Civil Grants/' the first part of each volume serv-
ing as a Military Ledger, while the latter contains the Annual Grants.
■which are entered for this period in the Military instead of the Civil
Ledger. They may be thus described: —

KEEPER OF THE PUT^LTC RECORDS IN IRELAND. 59
jrd. Minutes of the Treasury Board, which was constituted in 1793
to superintend and control the? public revenue and accounts. This impor-
tant series extends from 1793 to 1817, and contains entries with reference
to the receipt and issue of money ; accounts, reports, and returns by
public departments ; everything relating to Loans, Lotteries, Bills,
Fines, Seizures, &c.
NATIONAL DEBT.
The books dealing with this subject supply most important information
towards explaining the development and history of the country.
At first every country has to meet expenditure out of receipts. Both
increase as the country progresses, but expenditure has a general ten-
dency to exceed receipts, and thi& tendency has to be met by some system
of borrowing in aid of the ordinary taxes. In order to meet expenses
connected with war, or very useful and exceptional public works or
outlay, it is considered better and more convenient to provide for such
charges by borrowing, instead of raising excessive taxes to defray the
whole charge at once.
Pledging or farming portions of the public revenue, temporary Loans,
Annuities and State Lotteries were resorted to as the means for raising
money on the national credit ; but, when the public debt had thus con-
siderably grown while the national credit had in no way deteriorated, it
was found necessary to fund a portion of the debt, and a national debt of
a more permanent character was established.
Xot only do the books give full information concerning these loans of
a permanent nature, but they contain full pax-ticulars of Treasury or
Exchequer Bills, debentures, &c., issued under authority of votes of
credit, &c., to meet demands for public money in anticipation of the
taxes.
They record the amounts of loans, rates of interest, terms given to
borrowers, &c., and thus tell at a glance the state of the national credit.
To the historian of special industries, or trade in general, they are of
the utmost importance. The expenditure of every great event can be
obtained from them in conjunction with the other account books. For
example, in order to estimate the effect of the French Revolutionary
wars and the disturbed state of the country which followed, these books
will show that in the end of 1793 the total amount of the funded debt
of Ireland was, in round numbers, £1,600,000, while at the close of 1816
the funded debt of Ireland amounted to £100.700,000. in round numbers,
of which £86,400.000 was funded in England, and £24,300.000 in Ireland.
They show expenditure in connection with peace as well as war ; and
the amounts borrowed to execute public works, whether by the Irish
or the Imperial Parliament, are fully set out.
They may be divided into —
1st. Books concerning the debt.
2nd. „ ,, Loans, &c., comprising it.
1st. — National Debt Books.
Account Booh. 1761-1817. — An account of the commencement, progress
and amount of the National Debt of Ireland from 1761-1817, when the
Irish debt was merged in that of England. It gives the nature of the
different securities granted, and the interest paid ; an account of the
Sinking Fund, and an annual abstract of Debt, Interest, and Sinking
Fund. The abstract only runs from 1792 to 1817.
Dphi and Brvrnue Account Book, 1760-99.— Account of the growth of
the National Debt, debentures issued, when interest commenced, date of
issue, and for what purpose.
Like accounts are furnished with regard to Bank Annuities, Life
A.nnuities, Long Annuities, Short. Annuities, and Treasury Bills.
60 APPENDIX TO THIRTY-THIRD REPORT OF THE DEPUTY
2nd. — National Debt, Loan, &c., Books.
Bank Annuities.
The Bank of Ireland in 1781 subscribed £600,000 on Loan Debentures
at 4 per cent., subsequently converted into £600,000 Bank Stock at an
annuity of £24,000, from Midsummer, 1783. The rate was raised to
5 per cent, in 1797. in which year and in 1808 loans of £500,000 and
£1,250,000 at 5 per cent, were made. A further loan of £500,000 at 4
per cent, was made in 1821. The details of the payments of interest are
to be found in the cash books, ledgers, &c.
Life Annuity Books.
Life Annuities were granted to subscribers pursuant to Acts passed in
1773, 1775, 1777.
Annuities amounting to £15,900 were granted under the Act of 1773
to the various subscribers.
Annuitants or their nominees were divided into three classes — First, 40
years and upwards ; second, from 20 to 40 ; and third, under 20 years of
age.
The annuities were at the rate of 6 per cent, on sum subscribed, and
were payable from Christmas, 1773.
As the lives fell in, in each class, the survivors of that class shared the
entire amount, until every member received an annuity equal to his
original subscription. After this the annuities of dying members fell
to the Government.
Annuities to the amount of £10,500 were granted to subscribers under
the Act of 1775 under similar conditions to the annuities of 1773, but,
in this case, the amount set apart for each class was divided among the
constantly diminishing members of the class until the last survivor
received the entire amount payable yearly to his class.
Annuities to the amount of £22,500 were granted under the Act of
1777. It was intended to raise them at 6 per cent., as before, but as
subscribers did not come in, the rate was increased to 7^. The other
incidents are similar to those of 1775.
It may be mentioned that the annuities commenced 7, 6, and 18
months in the respective annuities before the time for the subscriptions
had expired.
In order to enable persons in Great Britain to subscribe without the
inconvenience of getting remittances from Dublin, agents were appointed
in London by the Lord Lieutenant to pay annuities there according to
rate of money current in Ireland.
Short Annuities and Long Annuities were granted to induce the public
to subscribe to loans where additional inducement was required to secure
subscribers when the price of Stock and the rate of interest were not con- ~<^
sidered sufficiently inviting.
Lonrj Annuities were granted in connection with the great loans raised
in England for imperial purposes during the French wars of 1798-1815,
of which a portion was issued for Ireland. A certificate of the amount
chargeable was received yearly, and the English Government was credited
with that amount. There is no record of the annuitants in the account
books of the Irish Treasury.
Assignments, Eegistrr of. — There is a volume for annuities of 1773
giving number of annuity, date and particulars of assignment. Like
oarticulars for annuities of 1777 are to be found in the Subscribers' and
Nominees' Register.
Cash Books, 1800--1804. — These give inter alia the accounts of the
clerk who manaced the annuity payments.
Bay Books (Bough), 1786--95. — Account of payments in respect of life
annuities. The proper entry books were filled up from this series.

Tliere are two volumes for each of the three annuities. In the case of
1777 there is a volume giving deficiencies in description of subscribers or
nominees.
Nominee Books of Personal Appearance, 1797-1806, and 1812-30. —
These give lists of nominees who appeared personally for payment at
the Treasury Office.
Beceipt Books. — These are very important as showing the amounts
actually received and the persons who obtained the annuities. There are
two classes of receipt books, one kept by the Treasury and the other by the
Pells Department. In the Treasury books the annuities payable in
Dublin and London are kept in the same volumes, but in the Pells
Department separate books were kept.

tures issued, date and number of issue, name and address of subscriber
and nominee, and where the annuity was to be payable.
There are separate books for the annuities of 1773, 1775, and 1777, and
there is an index.
Subscription Payment Book. — There are volumes for 1773 and 1775
giving names of subscribers and the particulars of the third, fourth and
fifth payments of the instalments of the subscription. There is a similar
volume giving third to sixth payments for 1777.
Loan Books.
The earliest loan charged on the Irish Exchequer, the record of which
is preserved in the account books, was a sum of £33,050, at 10 per cent.,
advanced in 1692 by Sir Joseph Heme, Sir Stephen Evance, and Sir
Wm. Scawen, of London, on security of the Quit and Crown rents.
Separate books were not kept for the payments of interest and principal,
but the entries concerning them are to be found in the general cash books
and ledgers. The greater part of this loan was paid off in 1697.
There are special loan books for subsequent loans ; but abstracts of the
accounts are entered in the Treasury Ledger and principal account books.
They give the names of those who subscribed money for general or special
purposes, those who were repaid, and those who received interest in the
meantime. The loans were issued by authority of Parliament on deben-
tures, annuities, lotteries, Treasury Bills, &c. It is difficult to classify
the books dealing with transactions which are extremely complicated.
62 APPENDIX TO tHIRTY-THlili) REPORT OF THE DEPUTY
They naturally separate into two periods, one starting from 1715, when'
the second loan was issued, and ending in 1753, when the Irish public
debt was practically paid off ; the other, commencing in 1759 and ending
1817, when the Irish debt was merged in the debt of the United Kingdom.
The financial arrangement in the seventh article of the Act of Union
which became operative on 1st January, 1801, rendered Ireland liable
to 2-17tlis of the public expenditure. Vast expenditure became necessary
at this time in connection with the Napoleonic wars, and Great Brit-iin
was found much more capable of standing the strain of war taxes than
Ireland. Loans were necessary in both countries, but the Irish debt
increased, in proportion, much more rapidly than the debt of Great
Britain. Finally the Irish debt reached the point at which amalgama-
tion became necessary, and in 1817 the Irish debt merged in that of the
United Kingdom.
In order to explain the nature of the books a short history of the
loans is furnished down to the period when money began to be raised by
lotteries. Treasury Bills, &c.
A sum of £50,000 was raised for public defence by virtue of a resolu-
tion of Parliament, 1715. The interest was 8 per cent, until 1724, and
7 per cent, afterwards.
The debt was increased by £150,000 in 1729, and it bore interest at 6
per cent. ; a further increase of silUO,000 was made in 1731, and from this
to 1741 the entire debt carried interest at the rate of 5 per cent.
In 1741 a loan of £125,000 at 4 per cent, was sanctioned. It was also
enacted that £125,000 of the old debt should be reduced by lot to 4 per
cent., and that the residue, which then consisted of £100,000, should
continue to bear interest at 5 per cent.
A loan of £70,000, at 4 per cent., for the erection of batteries at Cork
Harbour, was sanctioned in 1745, lout only £58,500 seems to have been
In 1749, the two sums of £125,000 and £58,500, at 4 per cent., were stiU
unpaid, and £70,000, portion of the £100,000 bearing interest at 5 per
cent., was also unpaid. The Vice-Treasurer was directed to pay off
the sum of £70,000 at 5 per cent, then due, after 25th ilarch, 1750, and
out of the sum of £250,000 at 4 per cent, to pay off by lot a sum of
£58,500. When these sums were paid off in 1750 the public debt con-
sisted of £250,000 at 4 per cent., viz., £191,500 unpaid residue of the
£250,000, and the £58,500 raised under loan for defence of Cork Harbour.
In 1751, £235,000, a portion of the £250,000 at 4 per cent., was still
unpaid, and a further sum of £2,500 had been raised for defence of Cork
Harbour. The Vice-Treasurer was directed to pay off by lot out of the
balance in his hands a sum of £120,000, and in 1752, when this amount
had been paid off, the public debt consisted of £117,500 at 4 per cent.
The entire debt, with the exception of outstanding arrears, seems to
have been paid off in 1753.
A loan of £150,000 at 4 per cent., subsequently raised to 5, for the
defence of the kingdom, was sanctioned in 1759. A furtlier loan of
£300,000 at same rate was sanctioned in 1761, but of this sum only
£200,000 seems to have been raised. The debentures for this debt were
called in to be cancelled and others issued in lieu thereof. A further
loan of £400,000 at same rate was sanctioned, but of this sum only
£300,000 seems to have b(;en raised.
In 1763 the public debt cnnsitited of £650,000 at 5 per cent., and it
was enacted that of this. £300.000 sliould continue to bear interest at 5
per cent., and that £350,000, the residue chosen by lot, be reduced to 4
per cent. A further loan of £100.000 at 4 per cent, was sanctioned, but
no part of it seems to have been raised.
The public debt, consisting of £600,000, partly at 4 and partly at 5 per
cent., was consolidated in 1765, and the rate reduced to 4 per cent. A
further loan of £100,000 at 4 per cent, was sanctioned, and debentures of
£100 and £50 were issued to make up these sums. The new debentures
were to commence and be numbered from the end of the previous deben-
tures.
KEEPER OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS l^ IRELAND. -63
In 1767 the public debt amounted to £675,000 at 4 per cent., and a sum
of £50.000 at Sg per cent, was raised under a loan for £100,000 sanc-
tioned that year.
In 1770, £625,000 residue of £675.000 at 4 per cent, and £30,000 at
3^, remained unpaid, and a further loan of £100,000 at 4 per cent, was
raised to increase the Military Establishment.
The public debt amounted to £725.000 in 1771, portion being at 4 per
cent., and the remainder at 3=^. A further loan of £200.000 at not
more than 4 per cent, was raiseJ to increase the ililitary Establishment,
and the Vice-Treasurer was directed whenever he had a balance of £30,000
to pay off so much of the 4 per cent, debentures.
The entire 3g per cent, debt was paid oS in 1773, and m the years
1773. 1775, and 1777, authority was given to raise the respective sums
of £255.000. £175,000, and £166.000, by granting the annuities described
under Annuity Books. (See above, page 60.)
In 1779 and subsequently, loans were raised by lotteries, Treasury Bills,
&c.. &c.
There is one loan book previous to 1730. From this period to 1756
they mainly consist of two series of receipt books for loan interest. O
belonged to the Clerk of the Pells ; the other belonged to the Vice-
Treasurer, and was the counterpart of the books furnished by him to the
Auditor-General. As the National Debt of Ireland ceased to exist in
1753 the last books of the series only deal with arrears of interest and
debentures which were then paid off.
There are a few of the Vice-Treasurer's books for the loan of 1759, but
they do not appear to have been kept for later loans.

64 APPENDIX TO THIRTY-THlRlJ REPORT 01* THE DEPUTY
The regular receipt books give number of debenture, subscriber's name
state of interest, and signature of subscriber or nominee, together with L
certificate from the Deputy-Clerk of the Pells. The rough payment books
only contain entries of the names of the parties to whom interest wag
paid, and the number of the debenture or bill. ^
Sometimes this arrangement is reversed, the signature of recipient and
the certificate of the Deputy-Clerk of tlie Pells appearing in the booka
which would othei-wise have been rough payment books. In such case the
books containing signature and certificate are regarded as receipt booka,
jind the others as rough payment books.
There is one book for the period 1715-27 which gives an account for
every subscriber or assignee to the loan of 1715. The particulars of assign,
ments are also given. It is not strictly a receipt book, but as it is the
earliest loan book it is classed with them.

Subscribers, Uegisters of, 1761-1785 and 1795.
The receipt books give the names of subscribers and their assignees, but
separate lists of subscribers were also kept. There is a special book giving
the instalments of the loan of £400,000 subscribed by R. Shaw in 1795.
Subscribers, Begisters of Debentures paid off, 1733-42.
The appendix books to receipt books and the receipt books themselves
show when interest ceased, and, therefore, indicate when debentures were
paid off ; but for the above period regular registers were kept.
Lottery Books.
The only State lotteries in Ireland were in the years 1780-1, when
debentures to the amount of £210,000 and £105,000, respectively, at 4 per
cent., were issued to the fortunate subscribers. The interest was to
continue until the debentures were paid off.
The loan receipt books contain the receipts for this interest. The other
books are : —

ture, number of certificate, to whom paid, and amount.

These were first issued under authority of the Act which sanctioned
lottery loans (19 & 20 Geo. III., c. 2), and the amount under this Act
was not to exceed £140,000 at 3d. per day per cent, interest. Other
issues were made under subsequent Acts.

In 1784 the Government offered holders of Treasury Bills the option
of exchanging their bills for 4 per cent, loan debentures, with a premium
of 10 per cent. Bills to the amount of £15,250 were exchanged in this
^•av, and the amount was thus transferred from the unfunded to the
fuiiilcd debt.

PAYMENT AND RECEIPT BOOKS {Treasury).
There are two great series of these books. One commences in 1654, and
ends m liiZ'A ; tne other commences m 157'/ and ends in 173b. £oth
series are detective, several books not being forthcoming, but they supple-
ment each other, and, taken with the payment and receipt Itolls and
Collectors' Accounts, give an almost unbroken resume oi the public
accounts from 157? to 182;^, when the othce of Auditor-General was
abolished. =
Each book is divided into three divisions: — The fixst contains all the
receipts into tiie Ireasury ; the second, ail the payments in respect of the
Civil List, and a statement irom the l>eputy Itcceiver-General that the ^
balance of the receipts, alter the payments on the Civil List have bees. ~"
made, is available towards pajinent of the Military List ; and the last
contains all payments on the Jmlitary List.
The payments are the same as those in the payment books of the Pells ^
Oflice ; one set of books signed by the Deputy Iteceiver-Ceneral was evi--' "
dently prepared for the Auditor-General. Ine other set is a copy, and
was always kept in the Treasury Othce. -
These books give the payments of every kind in classified form, but
the receipts are sometimes only given m the form of abstracts to show
the charge on the Treasury.
Down to March, 1794, tne payments mainly consisted of the Civil List, ^^
Military List, Extraordinaries, including Parliamentary payments antt^g
payments on King's letters, and appropriated duties, and these payments
were made from the funds realised from the hereditary revenue, addi- ■^.
tional revenue, appropriated duties, and loans.
After March, 1794, the Consolidated i'und "was formed from the here-
ditary revenue, additional duties, and loans ; and Appropriated Duties
were raised as before. The entire revenue of the country consisted, there*:
fore, of Consolidated Fund and Appropriated Duties, and from thesft''
were paid the Civil List, pensions, tlie list for military purposes, and
other payments as before. Appropriated Duties were always paid for the ^
purposes to which they had been appropriated. "^"
In 1760 the entire revenue, consisting of Hereditary Revenue, Addi-
tional Duties, Appropriated Eunds, ana Loans, comprised the following
sub-heads, viz. : — Orainary revenue from the several collectors ; other
revenue from the same collectors apin'opriated to Loan, Linen, Tillage,
Cambric, Protestant ^^chcols, and Lagan Navigation ; Quit and Crown
Rents, Casual iievenue, Dury on Wrought Plate, Poundage of Additional
Duties, Dismissed Collectors, ^Military Repaj-nients, Subscription to
Loan.
In 1795 the entire revenue, consisting of the Consolidated Fund, and
Appropriated Duties, comprised tlie following sub-heads, viz. : — Ordinaiy
Revenue, Quit Rents. Casualties, .-itamps. Postage, Duties on Wrought
Plate, Public Coal Yards, Wool Licences, Tax on Salaries, Poundage,
Pells Fee, Loan and Bills, Lottery, Military Repayments ; and the ApprO"
priated Funds v.-ere for Loan, Linen, Lagan Navigation, Improving
Dublin, Irish Fisheries, and King's Inns.
KEEPER OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS IN IRELAND.

In 1760 the payments on the Civil List are classed as Exchequer, King's
Bench, Uhancery, Common i^eas, Sitate Ohicers, Incidents, Custom
Uthcers, Perpetuities, Appeals, Jr'ensions, French Pensioners, Non-con-
foriumg Ministers,- Concordatiun, Prizage, Commissioners ana Overseers
of liarracks, Admiralty, Commissioners of Accounts, Linen, Cambric,
i'rotcstant Schools, Printing tlie Journals, i^c, iioman Catliciic Academy.
The Appropriated iunds include Loan, Lagan Navigation, Improving
Publin, Liighchouse on the Isle of A-rran ; other Appropriation Accountb
weru Linen, Irish Fisheries, Lighthouses round the coast, and King's
Inns.
in 1795 the heads of i^iyments were similar.
PAYMENT AND IlECEIPT ROLLS.
These Rolls properly commence in 1545, but with them are deposited
twu roils of a similar nature — remnants of an older series.
The oldest Boli, extending over the period T23-T24, Ed. I., 1295--6,
contains an account of sums delivered out of the Exciiequer, and other
sums paia for necessaiy expenses, it shows the fees paid to the Treasurer
and other officers of the Exciiequer, and the othce expenses of the
jilxchequer ; fees to the Lord Chancellor, J u&tices of the Bench, Keepers
of Castles, &c. This and a similar "iioll for oO Ed. I. are printed at
pages 124 and 166 of Volume L, Record Commissioners' Reports.
ike second is a Counter-lioll giving the CliaiuLerlain's receipts, H45—
T45, Ed. ill., 1369--71.
ihe Payment and Receipt Rolls (proper) commence at 1545, and are
the engrossed accounts passed before the Commissioners of Accounts, who
sign them. They are practically copies of the payment and receipt books
described immediately above. They cease in 1822.
The Military Account Rolls practically only commence in 1623. There
is a special military roll, 1575--9, and two military ledgers 1579-84, and
1586-7. These give minute information concerning all military pay-
ments and exceptional services, such as rewards for captures of reUeis,
conveying letters, and other acts to facilitate Government.
The absence of the other books and rolls is a great loss to Irish history.

Every receipt had to be entered with the Chamberlains and Clerk of
the Pells, as well as the Vice-Treasurer, and these officers were a check
on the Vice-Treasurer, who was responsible for the amounts entered by
tliL'se officials.
Books signed by the proper officer in each department were delivered
to the Auditor-General to be compared with similar books from tha
^'ice-Treasurer and the vouchers in his possession.
The books are counterparts of one another, and contain under their
proper heads the amount of revenue received ; to explain their scope see
tlie list of the principal sources of revenue in the years 1760 and 1795,
given at page 66.
Copies of the books supplied to the Auditor-General were kept in the
oflice of the Clerk of the Pells.
Some few books, which belong to the Chamberlains or Clerk of the
Pells, are included in the Vice-Treasurer's receipt books, as they are
really counterparts, and previous to 1660 there are very few books for the
Chamberlains and Clerk of the Pells.

REVENUE BOOKS.
The nature and classes of the public revenue can be gathered by
referring to the lists of receipts at page 71. The machinery for collect-
ing it is described at page 70 (Collectors' Accounts). The principal and
finished accounts are to be found in the payment and receipt books and
rolls, cash books, &c., but the following books, which were subsidiary
to these or kept for a special purpose, give much information. In 1804
separate Commissioners for Excise and Customs were appointed, thus
completing a difference which had previously existed in the collection
of these classes of revenue. On this account Revenue Books will be
flivided into Customs, Excise, and General Revenue Books.
Customs.

A sketch of the heads of the Revenue dealt with by the Revenue CoU^
lectors in 1790—1 is given on pages 71-2 to explain the nature and scope :
of their duties. Rouglily speaking, they embrace Quit and Crown Rente,-
Customs, Excise, Seizures, Hearthmoney, &c.
During the Commonwealth Ireland was divided into Revenue Pre-
cincts and the Collectors accounted for the revenue received by them
taking credit for salaries, expenses, and payments made on order.
During the greater part of the reign of Charles II. the largest part .-
of the Revenue was farmed at fixed sums, and the farmers having paid, 1
when directed, any demands warranted by the Establisliments, sent in {
their accounts and took credit for these. f
Commissioners of Revenue were appointed in 1682, on the expiration '
of the farm of the Revenue. All Ireland was divided into Revenue dis-
tricts. Collectors were appointed to levy the various branches of the
Revenue, subject to the directions of the Commissioners of Revenue.
The Collectors' accounts of receipts and payments (including salaries
and expenses), with vouchers in support of same, were sent in quarterly,
checked and audited, and deposited with the Auditor-General. Their-
receipts, after deducting salaries, expenses, and monies paid on acquit-
tance or by order, were paid into the Treasury. These accounts give,
from quarter to quarter, a very good idea of the commerce and various
industries in the country, subject to taxation, and the persons engaged
thereat. In this way they indirectly furnish extensive material for
family history, as they give the names of the various persons to whom'
money was paid, &c. Every Collector acted as a Government banker, for,".
at a time when banking was in its infancy, if the Government desired
to make a payment to somebody living, say." near Ennis, Cork, or Dingle,
it simply sent him a "receipt" on the" local Collector, who paid the i
amount when the payer handed him the Treasury receipt dulv endorsed-
The expense of coming to Dublin, or of sending money fii-st to Dublin and
afterwards to the locality where it was to be "paid, was obviated in this
wav.
This receipt was called an " Acquittance." and could always be met
by the Collector to whom it was issued, as the funds in the hands of tlic
difforeut Collectors were always known from their returns.
Military payments, bounties, &c., were very often paid in this way,
and the accounts, accordingly, are full of the most valuable information.
Tliey cease with the abolitinn of the office of Auditor-General in 1822.
The Commissioners of Revenue were succeeded early in the nineteenth
century by the Commissioners of Customs and Excise.
Stamps and Post Office Revenue were not levied under this svstem.
The accounts commence in 1649. but are very imperfect to 1683, when
the Collectors' quarterly accounts commence.

Collectors' Payments and Acquittance Books.
These books gfve an account of payments by the Revenue Collectors, on
account of the Treasury, of money they had collected. The money formed
portion of the Treasury Receipts, but instead of being received directly
from the Revenue Collectors, was paid to third parties, who handed in
Treasury Receipts for the amount. The object of this is explained in
description of Collectors' Accounts above.
Acquittance Books (Pelh), 1688--1726.— These give an account, in day-
book form, of acquittances issued to Revenue Collectors. There is a
volume for 1705--10, from the Second Chamberlain's ofl&ce, which is a
duplicate of preceding volumes for corresponding period.
Acquittance Books (Treasury), 1718--96.— These give an account of
cash received from the Revenue Collectors, and also of acquittances.
Acquittances presented for payment to a Collector gave name of party.
Collector for whom issued, and often the service for which it was issued.
Deputy Beceiver-General's Books.
Cash Book, see Cash Books, General.
Journal, 1779--85, 1788--95.— Journal of entries in Deputy Receiver-
General's Cash Books.
Ledgers, 1788--g5.— These are styled Collectors' Ledgers, and contain

kept in different volumes towards end of series.
Ledger (Miscellaneous), 1752--77.— Special accounts of various persons
drawn up in ledger form by direction of the Deputy Receiver-General.
They were prepared for special purposes, and the particulars are taken
from the cash books of the Teller of the Exchequer, who was his executive
officer.
Letter Books, 1784-95. — Copies of letters acknowledging receipt of
Bills or remittances from bankers and collectors of revenue ; or forward-
ing Bills or receipts to the former and acquittances to the latter.

By the Act 57 Geo. III., c. 105. for encouraging Savings Banks, sums
of money were paid into the Bank of Ireland to the credit of the Com-
missioners for reducing the National Debt, and on account of various
Savings Banks in the following manner : —
Three of the trustees of any Savings Banks, maintained solely for the
benefit of the depositors, and no interest therein being claimed for any
trustee or officer, issued an order directing tlie payment of a sum of
money into the Bank of Ireland to the account of the above Commissioners
and authorising the party making the payment to receive a Saving Bank
debenture therefor. This order was presented to an officer of the Com-
missioners, who granted a certificate tliat lie had seen the order, and on
delivery of the said certificate and payment of the said sum, the officer
within five days after payment, delivered a debenture containing a receipt
signed by a Cashier of the Bank of Ireland for the amount, and carrying
interest at the rate of three pence per cent, per day. The principal and
interest of such debentures were chargeable on the monies or funds standing
to the credit of the said Commissioners in the said Bank.
The interest on debentures was to be paid annually on the 5th April.
or on demand, and on receipt of the interest the debenture was delivered
up to be cancelled, and a new debenture was issued in lieu ther-r.f.

^^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

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.
5. 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.
7. Some "Visitation Books of the Dioceses of Cork, CIovb'j
and Ross, with some other documents relating to those ?<^j
having been offered for sale by public auction in Dublin, ''''^^i
with the sanction of the Treasury, purchased for this OffifP a**!
deposited here. The books formed part of the library f>^ *<
clergyman who had been chaplain to a former bishop of thp^j
dioceses.
8. Captain W. H. 0. Kemmis, r.a., through Mr. Lewi? GK^
Kemmis, presented a MS. Return made by the Irish ^JJJ^I
Commission in 1816, relative to the Offices of Clerk of the P^«

KEr:PEK OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS IN IRELAND. 23
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 ^'^^^

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 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
Be in force for Departmental Papers in the London Eecord
See.
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.

series ; which are, however, in most cases, supplemental to the
series already preserved here : —

the Catalogue of Accoimts preserved in the Great Rolls of the
Pipe, for the years 1 to 12 Edward I. These accounts afford
valuable material for the historian. The accounts rendered by
sheriflTs and other officers indicate, by their fulness, and the n-
gularity or otherwise by which they are presented, the extent and ^
effective power of the central Government. The movements rf i
the Chief Governor and other justices, the building and repair « i
castles, the collection of -the Custom, have important bearing ooj
the history and prosperity of the country. The Escheaton»|
Accounts include interesting information as to the property ao**]

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.

73. 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).
74. The searches made for Government Departments during
the year numbered 573. This number is considerably in excess
of those recorded in any previous year.
75. The Office of Arms having been removed from the
Eecord Tower late in the year, the apartments occupied by it
have been handed over to the use of the State Paper Office.
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
