Walter Kerdiff
Walter Kerdiff (died 1557) was an Irish judge and landowner of the sixteenth century. Family As his surname suggests his family came originally from Cardiff, but they had long been settled in Ireland, near Finglas in County Dublin, where they are recorded from at least the 1450s. There was also an established de Kerdiff family in Cork, although it is unclear if the two families were related. The bridge now called "Cardiff's Bridge" on the River Tolka was named for the Dublin family. Landowner Walter was the principal landowner in Finglas in the last years of the reign of Henry VIII, and later owned lands at Castleknock, Pelletstown (modern Blanchardstown) and Turvey in County Dublin, and at Shallan in County Meath. He claimed ownership of lands at Dowth, also in County Meath, which led to a lawsuit in 1555 with another High Court judge, Luke Netterville, who was the head of an old-established landowning family from Dowth. Kerdiff's ownership of such extensive lands sugges ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Judge
A judge is a person who presides over court proceedings, either alone or as a part of a panel of judges. A judge hears all the witnesses and any other evidence presented by the barristers or solicitors of the case, assesses the credibility and arguments of the parties, and then issues a ruling in the case based on their interpretation of the law and their own personal judgment. A judge is expected to conduct the trial impartially and, typically, in an open court. The powers, functions, method of appointment, discipline, and training of judges vary widely across different jurisdictions. In some jurisdictions, the judge's powers may be shared with a jury. In inquisitorial systems of criminal investigation, a judge might also be an examining magistrate. The presiding judge ensures that all court proceedings are lawful and orderly. Powers and functions The ultimate task of a judge is to settle a legal dispute in a final and publicly lawful manner in agreement with substantial p ...

Dowth Hall
Dowth Hall is a Georgian country house and estate near Dowth in County Meath, Ireland. Built in 1760 for the Netterville family, the 420 acre estate occupies a large part of the archaeological site which makes up the Brú na Bóinne UNESCO World Heritage Site landscape encompassing Dowth passage tomb. In July 2018 it was announced that a megalithic passage tomb had been rediscovered directly underneath the house during renovations of the house and gardens. History The property is named after the townland of Dowth ( ga, Dubhadh - darkness) where the house and estate are located. The Netterville family had lived in the area of Dowth for hundreds of years before the construction of the current house with the Dowth estate supposedly originally being granted to them by Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath. As far back as 1207, their direct descendant Luke Netterville is recorded as taking the position of Archdeacon of Armagh. In 1845 the house was purchased by a wealthy English catholi ...

People From Finglas
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Court Of Common Pleas (Ireland)
The Court of Common Pleas was one of the principal courts of common law in Ireland. It was a mirror image of the equivalent court in England. Common Pleas was one of the four courts of justice which gave the Four Courts in Dublin, which is still in use as a courthouse, its name. History According to Elrington Ball the Irish Court of Common Pleas, which was known in its early years as ''the Common Bench'' or simply ''the Bench'', was fully operational by 1276. It was headed by its Chief Justice (the Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas, as distinct from the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, who was the head of the Irish Court of King's Bench). He had two (occasionally three) justices to assist him. The first Chief Justice was Sir Robert Bagod, former High Sheriff of County Limerick, a member of an old Dublin family which gave its name to Baggot Street. In the early centuries, he was often referred to as "Chief Justice of the Bench", or "the Dublin Bench". Traditionally its ...

Lawsuit
- A lawsuit is a proceeding by a party or parties against another in the civil court of law. The archaic term "suit in law" is found in only a small number of laws still in effect today. The term "lawsuit" is used in reference to a civil action brought by a plaintiff (a party who claims to have incurred loss as a result of a defendant's actions) requests a legal remedy or equitable remedy from a court. The defendant is required to respond to the plaintiff's complaint. If the plaintiff is successful, judgment is in the plaintiff's favor, and a variety of court orders may be issued to enforce a right, award damages, or impose a temporary or permanent injunction to prevent an act or compel an act. A declaratory judgment may be issued to prevent future legal disputes. A lawsuit may involve dispute resolution of private law issues between individuals, business entities or non-profit organizations. A lawsuit may also enable the state to be treated as if it were a private party ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Turvey House, County Dublin
Turvey House was a substantially altered 16th century house synonymous with the townland of Turvey ( ga, Tuirbhe) near Donabate in North County Dublin. Turvey is said to be a reference to the Irish mythical character Tuirbe Tragmar ("thrower of axes"), father of Gobán Saor. At various stages, the house and surrounding lands formed the family seat of the Barnewall family. The house is said to have been constructed with stone from the ruins of the nearby Grace Dieu Abbey by either Sir Christopher Barnewall or Sir Patrick Barnewall. The house was demolished in controversial circumstances by construction company, the Murphy Group, in 1987. History The house was the home of the notable Barnewall family for many generations. In 1570, James Stanihurst arranged for Sir Christopher Barnewall to hide the English Jesuit priest and martyr Edmund Campion in the house to hide him from the authorities and prevent his arrest. It is during this period of hiding that Campion wrote hi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
