Dominick Sarsfield, 1st Viscount Sarsfield
Dominick Sarsfield, 1st Viscount Sarsfield of Kilmallock (c. 15701636) was an Irish peer and judge who became Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas, but was removed from office for corruption and died in disgrace.
==Early history==
Dominick Sarsfield was born in Cork, third son of Edmund Sarsfield, an alderman of the city. His first wife was Joan Terry, daughter of Edmond Terry, a future Lord Mayor of Cork, and Catherine Galway. His second wife was Anne Bagenal, daughter of Sir Nicholas Bagenal, sister of Henry Bagenal and widow of Dudley Loftus, son of the Archbishop of Dublin. By Anne he had a t least three children, William, Dominick and Catherine.
Dominick entered Middle Temple in 1593, and returned to Ireland to practice at the Bar before 1600. He was appointed Attorney General for Munster in 1600 and Chief Justice of Munster in 1604/5. In 1607 he was appointed a judge of the Court of King's Bench in Ireland and Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas in 1612. He was made the first Irish baronet in 1619 and ennobled in 1625. He chose the title Viscount Kinsale but became embroiled in a bitter dispute with the de Courcy family, who already had a barony of that name, eventually agreeing to adopt as his title Kilmallock instead.〔Croker, Thomas Crofton; ''Researches in the south of Ireland: illustrative of the scenery'', (London: John Murray, 1824), p. 77.〕 On the basis of his rank, he claimed precedence over the Lord Chief Justice of Ireland, Sir George Shurley, to the latter's fury: Shurley complained that no such insult had ever been offered to one in his position. His main residence was Carrigleamleary Castle near Mallow, of which only ruins now remain.
Despite his acquisition of titles and offices, Sarsfield was always a controversial character, and his manner, described as flinty and truculent, is unlikely to have earned him many friends. He was summoned to the Privy Council in 1615 to answer certain charges which are not clearly set out, although he cleared himself at that time. He was accused of permitting his eldest son to become a Roman Catholic in 1628, and of treason in 1631.〔Ball, F. Elrington; ''The Judges in Ireland 1221–1921'' (London: John Murray, 1926)〕 Two years later his career was destroyed by the re-opening of the Bushen case from 1625.
