level of income hence the reason why so many were protestant gentry (I don't know the income level yet). The Peace Preservation Force appears to have pre-dated the title 'stipendiary magistrate'. Even though it seems that this force was only in existence from 1814 to 1822, they were definitely still in Bandon until 1834. Following the departure of Captain Vignioles and Roberts, a stipendiary magistrate was appointed much to the consternation of the magistrates with letters going backwards and forwards between the magistrates and the Lord Lieutenant. I think that Vignioles was the magistrate and Roberts the chief constable but I need to double check this. I bet that the Peace Preservation Force were paid so that Vignioles was actually a stipendiary magistrate just with a different description attached. Whilst I have researched some of the Bandon magistrates in detail (not as magistrates but who they were connected to, landholdings etc), some that weren't previously on my radar screen are now of much interest, eg Rev Somers Payne. How on earth could he have been an impartial magistrate when he was Grand Master of the Orange Lodge and a magistrate at the same time? The Payne home became St Patricks, Upton so clearly that house had many many stories attached to it. In his book 'A New Anatomy of Ireland' Toby Barnard gives statistics which he collated from various documents in the National Library and National Archives: Size of county commissions of the peace Cork. 1720 116 1760 191 1776-7 216 and we know from Lewis that by 1840 282. Should I assume that the reason that these 'great unpaid' (as they are referred to by the locals) officiated at the petty sessions etc was so that they had power to govern in the locality. In that way, it protected their status or am I missing something? Otherwise, why would they work for free? I have to figure out if the government had a cap on the number of magistrates appointed, how the magistrates decided one of them would sit at the petty sessions, ie did they ever lose the title for not participating?? So lots more to research. Who provided the nominations to the Lord Lieutenant - perhaps it was decided by majority within the county? According to Lewis in 1840 the local government was vested in a Lord Lieutenant, 16 deputy lieutenants and 282 other magistrates so a sizeable number. Was there a Lord Lieutenant for each county? Cromwell and from 1640 to 1650. No civil Magistrates
