The High Sheriff of King's County was the British Crown's judicial representative in King's County (now County Offaly), Ireland from 1556, when King's County was created, until 1922, when the office was abolished in the new Free State and replaced by the office of Offaly County Sheriff. The sheriff had judicial, electoral, ceremonial and administrative functions and executed High Court Writs. In 1908, an Order in Council made the Lord-Lieutenant the Sovereign's prime representative in a county and reduced the High Sheriff's precedence. However the sheriff retained his responsibilities for the preservation of law and order in the county. The usual procedure for appointing the sheriff from 1660 onwards was that three persons were nominated at the beginning of each year from the county and the Lord Lieutenant then appointed his choice as High Sheriff for the remainder of the year. Often the other nominees were appointed as under-sheriffs. Sometimes a sheriff did not fulfil his entire term through death or other event and another sheriff was then appointed for the remainder of the year. The dates given hereunder are the dates of appointment. All addresses are in King's County (County Offaly) unless stated otherwise. == High Sheriffs of King's County== *1656: Henry L'Estrange *1657: George Blundell, 2nd Baronet〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= The Peerage )〕 *1662: Philip Bigoe〔 *1663: Charles Lyons of River Lyons *1667: Thomas Wakely〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= A genealogical and heraldic history of the Landed Gentry of Ireland )〕 *1671: John Reading of Readingstown *1672: John Baldwin〔 *1674: Jonathan Darby of Leap Castle〔 *1680: Edward Bagot〔 * Robert Lovett *1693: Geoffrey Lyons of River Lyons〔 *169n: James Sterling *1695: John Wakely of Ballyburly〔 *1697: John Baldwin, jnr of Corolanty〔 *1698: Hector Vaughan of Dromoyle and Knocknamease〔 *1701: Richard Warburton of Garryhinch〔 *1702: Geoffrey Lyons of River Lyons〔 *1703: John Reading of Readingstown *1704: Geoffrey Lyons of River Lyons *1705: Francis Heaton of Mount Heaton〔 *1707: Peter Holmes of Johnstown〔 The Midland Septs and the Pale〕 *1708: *1711: James Forth of Charleville Castle〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title= Anglo-Irish Families )〕 *1713: George Holmes of Liscloony〔 The Midland Septs and the Pale〕 *1715: Colley Lyons, MP, of River Lyons〔 *1717: Benjamin Frend of Boskell, Co.
