Details

The Recorder of Cork was a judicial office holder in pre-Independence Ireland. The Recorder was the chief magistrate of Cork city: his principal duty was to keep the peace. The office was very similar to that of the Recorder of Dublin, except that the Recorder of Cork, unlike his Dublin counterpart, did not have power to preside over any trial involving a capital crime. A statute of 1877 stated that wherever possible the Recorder should also be the Chairman of the Cork East Riding Quarter Sessions. The office, like its counterpart in Dublin, was an onerous one, involving at least two sittings of the Court every week; at most times the Recorder had a Deputy Recorder to assist him.
