Jurisdiction edit

Until 1729 all serious offences in Dublin city and county had to be tried at King's Bench.[35] [I guess this is lack of the Assizes applicable in other counties;[36] similar for London?] Act 3 Geo.2 c.15 provided commissioners of oyer and terminer or of gaol delivery could sit in "that part of the King's Court where the Court of King's Bench sits".[35] The Act 3 Geo.3 c.25 provided that Four Courts and Green Street Courthouse in both city and county.[35] Commission always in Green St since completed except when use for city MP election.[35] Post 1922 all murder trials were before "Dublin City Commission", not just those in Dublin [what about Dublin county commission?].[37] Wallace blames backlog from Civil War; maybe fact that it sat 6 times a year against only 2 for assizes?[37] Probably until Courts of Justice Act 1924? Certainly some murderers were tried at local assizes at least up to 1850s if not later; certainly some were transferred to Dublin commission court in 1900 if not earlier. More details maybe in Vaughan 2009. Study of "115 suspected cases of infant murder or concealment of birth that were forwarded for trial to the assizes between 1883 and 1900"[38] shows murder at assizes till at least 1883. Courts of Justice Act 1924 gave no murder jurisdiction to lower courts.[39]
