Deanery of St Patrick
The Deanary of St. Patrick was one of several manors, or liberties, that existed in Dublin, Ireland since the arrival of the Anglo-Normans in the 12th century. They were town lands united to the city, but still preserving their own jurisdiction.〔Parliamentary Papers: Reports from Commissioners, Vol. 24. Session: 4 February - 20 August 1836. House of Commons, London.〕 The Lord of the Manor was the Dean and Chapter of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. In the 19th century it was the smallest of the liberties of Dublin.〔Dalton: A New Picture of Dublin, Dublin, 1835.〕
==History==
When the first Anglo-Norman Archbishop of Dubin, John Comyn, established the church that became St. Patrick's Cathedral, he bestowed upon the church a plot of ground surrounding it to the extent of about five and a half acres, which formed the liberty of the Dean of St. Patrick's. His jurisdiction was recognized many times in Acts of Parliament and Letters Patent, and was considerable in its powers. Not only did the privilege of sanctuary prevail here, but the goods as well as the persons of law-breakers were secure within the Dean's Liberty, which was independent of the Archbishop as well as of the Sheriff of the county.〔Bernard: The Cathedral Church of Saint Patrick. London, George Bell and sons, 1905〕
By 1800 the manor was inhabited by some of the poorest people in the city, and the court of the manor has been discontinued. The only advantage its poor inhabitants possessed was that they were exempt from the jurisdiction of other courts, so they could elude the clutches of the bailiff by flying for refuge to the confines of their own manor.〔George Newenham Wright, ''An Historical Guide to the City of Dublin'', 1825. p. 116〕
