Dungarvan (Parliament Of Ireland Constituency)
Dungarvan () is a coastal town and harbour in County Waterford, on the south-east coast of Ireland.

Chief Justice Of Connacht
The Chief Justice of Connacht was the senior of the judges who assisted the Lord President of Connaught in judicial matters. Despite the Chief Justice's title, full judicial powers were vested in the Lord President, whose office was established in 1569. Ralph Rokeby was appointed the first Chief Justice of Connacht, with Robert Dillon as his second justice. Rokeby found his principal duty as Chief Justice, the introduction of the common law into Connacht, to be a thankless task, writing gloomily to the Government in London that the people of the province "are not willing to embrace justice". A royal commission from King James I in 1604 vested in the Lord President very wide powers to hear civil cases, to impose martial law and to pursue the King's enemies with "fire and sword" (Ralph Rokeby had urged the granting of such powers from the beginning, arguing that it was the only way to bring order and good government to the province). The extent of these powers gave rise to clashes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

These eventually found in Patrick's favour. The titles became dormant on the death of the eleventh Earl in 1816.
