Irish Petty Sessions: Limerick Children’s Court

Limerick Children’s Court is one of many featured in the Irish Petty Sessions Court registers 1828-1912 (just add the filter “Limerick City Children” next to where it says “browse court” on the search form). The Petty Sessions handled the bulk of lesser legal cases, and were presided over by unpaid Justices of the Peace, who often had no legal training. Justice was summary and swift, and regularly saw controversial outcomes. Every record includes a transcript plus an image of the original entry. The detail included in the records varies, but may include your ancestor’s name and address, the date they were in court, and whether they were a witness, complainant, or defendant. The image may contain extra information, such as details of the offence, verdict and sentence.
