Court of Exchequer (Ireland)
The Court of Exchequer (Ireland) was one of the senior courts of common law in Ireland. It was the mirror image of the equivalent court in England. It was one of the four royal courts of justice which gave their name to the building which is still called the Four Courts in Dublin.
== History ==
According to Elrington Ball〔Ball, F. Elrington. ''The Judges in Ireland 1221–1921''. London: John Murray, 1926〕 the Irish Court of Exchequer was functioning before 1300, and by 1310 it was staffed by the Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer and at least one associate Baron of the Exchequer. The early Barons were not necessarily trained lawyers, and in 1400 complaints were made about their lack of learning; in 1442 it was suggested that the administration of the Irish Government would be improved if the Chief Baron at least was a properly trained lawyer. This was apparently a criticism of the lack of expertise of Michael Gryffin, the incumbent Chief Baron, who was not a lawyer. 〔
Later in the fourteenth century the Court moved briefly to Carlow, which was then close to the centre of the Pale, (that part of Ireland which was under secure English rule), but local disturbances in Carlow soon brought it back to Dublin. 〔
Although the workload of the Court of Exchequer was traditionally less heavy than that of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland), it became notorious for slowness and inefficiency; an eighteenth-century Baron spoke of the Court being in a state of "confusion and disorganisation almost past remedy".〔 Due to its inefficiency, it lost a good deal of business to other courts, especially the Court of Chancery in the course of the eighteenth century. By the mid nineteenth century, however, it had overtaken the Court of King's Bench as the busiest common law court, and the death of Chief Baron Woulfe, in 1840, was widely blamed on his crushing workload (indeed Woulfe, who suffered from chronic ill health, had been warned that the job would kill him).〔
