The High Sheriff of Meath was the British Crown's judicial representative in County Meath, Ireland from the conquest until 1922, when the office was abolished in the new Free State and replaced by the office of Meath 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 County Meath unless stated otherwise. == High Sheriffs of County Meath== *1368: John FitzRichard *1373: William Dalton (killed by the Cenal-Fiachaidh) *1385: Richard Drake of Drakerath *1401: Sir William Nugent of Balrath〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Honorary Freemen of Belfast: 1898–99 )〕 *1404: Sir John D'Arcy〔 *1406: Matthew Hussey of Moyle-Hussey 〔 *1409: Christopher Plunket〔(【引用サイトリンク】title =ThePeerage )〕 *1415: Sir John D'Arcy〔 *1422 John Drake *1424: Richard Nugent, 2nd Baron Delvin *1435: John Barnewall〔 *1472: James Fleming〔 *1482 Alexander Plunket 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「High Sheriff of Meath」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
