Appointment of Davitt Magistrates June 1893, Co.  Cork.

 

 

Davitt Magistrates 1893

 

Due to the controversy over the issue of ‘The Irish Magistracy’ the British Government decided on action.  In Donegal out of 139 Magistrates 5 were Catholic, Fermanagh, 1 out of 174, Tyrone 6 out of 159, Wicklow 5 out of 104.  Magistrates were appointed due to the influence of Michael Davitt of the Land League and the Irish Parliamentary Party.  Some had a poor reputation for lack of partiality, recruited from ranks of shopkeepers, publicans and farmers. Sir James O’Connor former Appeal Court Judge described them in 1923 as of the shopkeeping class, amenable to influence, sometimes even to partial corruption.

O’Connor described the former jurisdiction as £2 in money matters and with preliminary investigations in criminal matters preparatory to the Assizes and Quarter Sessions.  The Stipendiary Magistrate styled the Resident Magistrate was on a salary of £600-800 per annum.  To put that in context the pay of an RIC constable in 1910 would be roughly £35 a year.

Some on the enclosed list would have been appointed due to Land League/Irish parliamentary party influence.

This was on Sir Nicholas Brown’s land commonly called Lord Kenmare, later which should have been reserved for the Navy. The coast has 24 privateers who report to the Western Irish, their friends, and land men and pillage the country, damaging Protestant families.

The coast has 24 privateers who report to the Western Irish, their friends, and land men and pillage the country, damaging Protestant families.

Prior to the forfeitures much of the lower land in the Bantry area was forested. It was later denuded for smelting and ship construction. Those involved included the Whites later Earls of Bantry, Dowes and Davies from Macroom, Fenwick from Dunmanway and possibly ther Blairs from there later Durrus.

Sir George Carew writes to Lord Deputy Mountjoy, 13th May 1602 from Camp at Bantry Abbey prior to Siege of Dunboy They lie in such incredible strengths of huge mountains and ugly glynns of bog and wood, as I think no place of the world yields the like, and the ways of such advantage unto them as an 100 men may forbid an army of 5,000 to march from Bantry to Donboye, which is but 24 miles; and if there were no enemy to resist us, nor any baggage in our army, the ways in themselves are so difficult as in less time than eight days I cannot come thither, for three miles a day is the most we can march; and for horse or garrons to carry victuals and munitions no possibility of passage. Wherefore I have resolved by boats and shipping to cross the Bay of Bantry, and to land within seven miles of the castle, which is a reasonable way (though mountainous), yet indifferent as well for us as the enemy. I would not have believed any man’s report if my own eyes had not seen the mountains and glynns which here I find…’
