The background seems at the start of the Penal Laws to be that those affected by Tory activity, house burning etc would bring an action before the Magistrates and then an execution penal fine would be levied. Looking at those against whom the levies were made Meades, Moroghs, Galweys, O’Sullivans of Bantry significant merchants or parish priests. Incidentally some family members of those had converted to the Church of Ireland by mid 18th century.  Period 1712-1772.

Many of the same Magistrates appear a lot of whom are listed as Bridge Overseers for Co. Cork under the Grand Jury for the period.
