User:Jnestorius/English laws in Ireland before and after Poynings

Poynings' Laws or the Statute of Drogheda were passed by Poynings' Parliament, a session of the Parliament of Ireland convened by Edward Poynings in 1494–5 in Drogheda. The two most important acts were:


 * The 21 & 22 Geo. III., cap. 48 (Ir.), commonly called Yelverton's Act, after reciting Poyning's Act, provides that all English statutes, then in existence, made for settling and assuring forfeited estates, all private statutes concerning the title to land, and all such English commercial statutes " as import to impose equal restraints on the subjects of England and Ireland, and to entitle them to equal benefits." shall apply to Ireland.
 * We cannot at present refer to the claim made by the English Parliament, chiefly in the 17th and 18th centuries, to bind Ireland by statutes expressly mentioning this country. The matter is now only of historical importance, as the alleged right was chiefly exercised in trade and navigation laws, all long since repealed. As to the general law, we may sum up all that we have been saying as follows: - English statutes older in date than 1495, are, by the operation of Poyning's Act, ipso facto law in Ireland. From 1495 till the Union no English general statute is of itself law in Ireland, but the most important have been re-enacted here, and must be sought for in the Irish statute book. This again is subject to the rather vague exception created by Yelverton's Act.

My disagreements with the preceding:
 * I think pre-Poynings, English acts were often applied to Ireland by promulgation or transmission through Dublin Castle rather than by re-enactment of the Irish parliament.
 * Post Poynings:
 * Maintenance and Embracery Act 1634 "All statutes in force in England against maintenance, champerty, and embracery shall be put in execution in Ireland" Short Titles Act 1962, THIRD SCHEDULE; ENGLISH STATUTES APPLIED BY THE MAINTENANCE AND EMBRACERY ACT 1634
 * Statute Law Revision Act 1983, Schedule; PART III: ENGLISH AND BRITISH STATUTES EXTENDED TO IRELAND, 1495-1800
 * ?Maybe in some cases for abundance of caution repealing the acts the English Parliament said it had applied to Ireland even though 1962 did not give them short titles and so implicitly ignored them?
 * Sale of Offices Act 1551 "extended to Scotland and Ireland, and to all offices in the gift of the Crown, by section 1 of the Sale of Offices Act 1809"
 * Church Property p.132 lists the "Forfeited Estates. Ireland" acts, explicitly related to Ireland, including the Purchasers of Forfeited Estates, Ireland Act 1702. Think Yelverton's did these.
 * possibly oireachtas only countenanced acts adopted by Irish acts, whereas stormant allowed unilateral ones?
 * Adventurers' Act 1642 and Act for the Settlement of Ireland 1652 etc.
 * Declaratory Act 1719 etc — Westminster parliament unilaterally claimed the right to legislate for Ireland, and passed some laws explicitly referring to Ireland. Probably laws had to explicitly refer to Ireland in order to be applicable (in English law) to Ireland. (cf "Forfeited Estates. Ireland" above)
 * In 1756 29 Geo. 2. c. 7. (GB) s. 26 extended GB lottery penalties (under Lotteries Act 1710 etc) to Ireland; relevant acts repealed in Ireland by Gaming and Lotteries Act 1956, s.3 and Part I of Schedule (unless repealed before that).
 * Yelverton's Act is called Calendar Act 1781; only kept for extension of GB Calendar (New Style) Acts 1750 and 1751 to Ireland but other cats also included, see book 77-81 below
 * pre-1800 Eng/GB acts extended to Ireland by post-1801 UK acts:
 * Treason (Ireland) Act 1821 [UK] extended §§2–4 of the Treason Act 1695 [Eng] to Ireland.
 * Treason (Ireland) Act 1854 [UK] extended part of Treason Act 1708 [GB] to Ireland.
 * post-1801 UK act originally not extended to Ireland but later extended to Ireland
 * By subsequent act alone
 * Towns Improvement (Ireland) Act 1854 incorporates parts of the Commissioners Clauses Act 1847 and Towns Improvement Clauses Act 1847 with modifications
 * By adapting order made under subsequent act
 * By Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898 — (English) Municipal Corporations Acts 1882 and 1893 and Local Government Acts 1888 and 1894, and the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1889



Walter Harris' revision of James Ware's The Antiquities of Ireland "Ch.XIII: of the Common and Statute Laws introduced by the English into Ireland, and of the Settlement of the Legislature there": "Such Parts of the Statute Law of England, as are in force in Ireland, became so by Degrees, and we are indebted for them to the Confirmations made by Irish Parliaments in several Ages. But here we speak of Statutes introdućtory of new Laws ; for Aéts made in England, declaratory of the common Law, have no Need of Confirmation by an Irish Parliament ; because the common Law, which such declaratory Statutes confirm, was in full  Force before they were enaëted.


 * The first Account we have of English Statutes being confirmed by Aét of Parliament in Ireland is in a marginal Note affixed by Sir Richard Bolton to  his Edition of the Irish Statutes; where in a Note to the Statute of 10 Hen. 7  Chap. 22. he tells us,
 * that the Statutes of Merton, made 20th Hen. 3d. (1235) the Statutes of Marlebridge made sz. Hen. 3d, (1267) the Statute of Westminster the 1st. made 3d. of Edw. I, the Statute of Gloucester, made 6th of Edw. I. and the Statute of Westminster 2d. made 13th Edw. “I. were all confirmed by an Aćt of Parliament made in Ireland in the “ 13th of Edw. II;
 * and that all other Statutes, which were of Force in England, were referred to be examined in the next Parliament, and that so many, as were then allowed and published, to stand likewise for Laws in Ireland.
 * That by Stat. 19. Edw. II. and 29. Hen. 6. it was enacted in Ireland, that the Statutes made in England should not be of Force in Ireland, unless they were allowed and published in Ireland by Parliament; that these Statutes are not to be found in the Rolls, but that he had seen them exemplified under the great Seal, and that the Exemplification in his time remained in the Treasury of Waterford.
 * By the Irish Statute of 18 Hen. 6. chap. 1. all English Statutes enaćted against the Extortions of Purveyors are made of Force in Ireland.
 * By the Irish Stat. 32 Hen. 6. ch. I. all Statutes made before that Time in England or Ireland, against Provisors were enačted to be revived and of Force in Ireland, and the like Statute is again, enaëted Anno Io. Hen. 7. chap. 5.
 * By the Irish Statute of 8. Edw. 4. ch. 1. the English Statute concerning Rapes, made in the 6th. of Rich. II. is made of Force in Ireland; and further, that all other Statutes made by Authority of Parliament in England before that Time be confirmed and adjudged of Force in Ireland.
 * The Statute of Absentees made in England Anno 3. Rich. 2. and acknowledged in Ireland, was by the Irish Statute of 19 Edw. A. authorized, and confirmed.
 * Lastly, by the Irish Statute of the 10th Hen. 7, chap. 22 all Statutes late (i. e. before that time, as the Lawyers expound it) made in England concerning the common and publick Weal of the same, were enaëted from that time to be good and effectual in Ireland, and to be used and executed within the said Land of Ireland in all points, and at all times requisite, according to the Tenor, and Effect of the same, and that all Laws hereafter made to the contrary should be void and of no Effect. Thus the Statutes of England antecedent to the 10th Year of Hen. 7. came to be of Force in Ireland, that is, such Statutes as were of general and publick Concern ; but such English Statutes as were local and concerned particular Persons or Places could not by any general Confirmation or Approbation become of Porce in Ireland.

It would be foreign to our Purpose to enter into the Controversy, whether Statutes made by the Legislature of England, where the People of Ireland have no Representatives, shall bind Ireland. This Matter has already been handled on the Part of Ireland by Sir Richard Bolton, Chief Baron of Exchequer of Ireland An. 1644, in a Treatise entitled, A Declaration setting forth how, and by what Means, the Laws and Statutes of England, from time to time, came to be of Force in Ireland; which on the Part of England was answered by Serjeant Samuel Mayart in another Treatise, entitled, An Answer to the Book entitled, how and by what Means the Laws and Statutes of England from time to time came to be of Force in Ireland. ... The Subjećt was afterwards resumed in 1697 by William Molyneaux Esq; L. L. D. and Member of Parliament, in a Treatise entitled, The Case of Ireland's being bound by Atts of Parliament in England stated to which Replies were made the same Year by Mr. Atwood and Mr. Cary, and to these several Pieces I refer the Reader, the Subjećt being in a Manner exhausted by them."

 * We have said that the Parliament of England made laws for Ireland. Among the important exercises of this power are the Act 3 W. & M. c. 2 (22 October 1691), which repealed the Irish Act of 2 Eliz. c. 1, imposing a modified oath of supremacy and enforced a new oath of supremacy and declaration against Transubstantiation on all members of the Irish Parliament, and another Act of 1699 forbidding the export of wool from Ireland except to England. A still more important exercise of sovereignty was the passing of the Act of Resumption, 10 April 1700, invalidating all grants of the Crown in Ireland.
 * [This appears to be 11 & 12 Will.3 c.2 passed in 1699; see HC 1868–9 (366-I) pp.467–8]
 * p.cxxxiii The proclamations banishing Jesuits, the Roman Catholic hierarchy, and regular priests (e.g. Nos. 182, 203, 217, 222, 247, 282, 844, 850, &c.) depend either on the Royal prerogative or on English Acts, which are thus tacitly assumed to be in force in Ireland. The latter is probably the case, as No. 182 is a Royal proclamation sent direct from England, and the others are in great measure repetitions of it or acts of war, till we come to 1673. Proclamations of the kind after 1698 are merely enforcing the Act of 9 Will. III, c. 1, Ireland. One proclamation dealing with the subject issued on 8 March 1672 (No. 821) was declared void by the Irish Parliament on 19 September 1695, but this allowed Roman Catholics to hold houses in corporate towns and become freemen of cities.

Cox's Criminal Cases Vol.3 p.360 (1848-9 treason case of Young Ireland rebellion)
 * "Held, that the 1st and 4th sections of the statute 57 Geo. 3, c. 6 [Treason Act 1817], are not extended to Ireland, and therefore that persons prosecuted in Ireland are not entitled to the benefits conferred by the statutes 7 & 8 Will. 3 [Treason Act 1695], and 7 Anne, c. 21 [Treason Act 1708], on persons accused of high treason."
 * reason was that the 1817 act made permanent Treason Act 1795, which did not extend to Ireland.


 * [Effect of English statutes in Ireland] From the conquest of Ireland by Henry II. until the passing of Poyning's law (10 Hen. 7), Ireland legislated for itself, and English statutes had no force there.(k [see 1 Bl. Comm. 103]) From that date till 1719, no English or British Act applied to Ireland unless it was specially named or included. In that year, by 6 Geo. 1, c. 5, the British Legislature asserted the right to make laws for Ireland. This claim was abandoned in 1782 (by 22 Geo. 3, c. 53), and the Irish Legislature became independent from the British. So matters stood until the Union, and “since the Union all Acts of Parliament extend to Ireland, whether expressly mentioned or not, unless that portion of the United Kingdom be expressly excepted, or the intention to except it is otherwise plainly shown.”[1 Steph. Comm. 101. See R. v. Mallow (1859) 12 Ir. CLR 35]
 * But the Act of Union has not extended to Ireland any English or British Act passed before 1800 which did not previously apply to Ireland. Thus, Ireland is still place “beyond the seas,” and “out of the realm of England,” within the meaning of 4 & 5 Anne, c. 3. [4 Anne, c. 16 (Ruffhead)] “If,” said the Court in Lane v. Bennett (1836), 1 M. & W. 75, “the expression ‘beyond the seas' is to be construed as equivalent to 'out of the realm of England' [as we think it is], then the Act of Union does not bring Ireland within that realm or make it parcel thereof, but it forms one united kingdom of both, and provides that all the laws then in force in each shall remain as by law established in each. Any one, therefore, in Ireland is still out of that which was the realm contemplated by the statute of Anne, although England has ceased to be a separate kingdom," and various statutes, such as the Wagering Act, have been extended to Ireland by express enactment.


 * Tyrwhitt/Tyndale recommend Gabbett's discussion especially of Yelverton's vagueness.
 * it is to the honor of the Irish parliament, that in the same session in which they repealed one of Poyning's acts (10 Hen. 7. c. 4.) as inverting the English constitution, and intrenching on their independence, they followed the principle of the other (10 Hen. 7. c. 22.) in adopting several English statutes, that, by "a similarity of laws, they might strengthen and perpetuate that affection and harmony which at all times ought to subsist between Great Britain and Ireland."


 * Other instances occur in which Irish statutes are repealed by statutes of the English and British parliaments, viz. 2 El. c.l. (Ir) by 3 W.& M. c. 2. s. I. as to the oath of supremacy: so 12 C.2. c.84. (now repealed as to Ireland, by 19G. 8. c. 35. s. 1.) forbade the planting tobacco in Ireland. The oath by 2 El. c.1. (Ir.) appointed to be taken, is abolished by 3W.& M. c.2. s.2. Again, the laws made in Great Britain against private and unlawful lotteries, were extended to Ireland by 29 G.2. c.7. But all these examples, except the last, occur previous to 6 G.1.6.5. which “ declared Ireland to have been and to be subordinate to, fb and dependent on the imperial crown of Great Britain, as inseparably united thereto, and that H. M. and “ the Lords and Commons of Great Britain in parliament, had and have full power to make statutes to bind " Ireland."


 * [s. 5(c)] English/British acts "extended to Ireland by legislation of the Irish Parliament. The main extending enactments are Wentworth's Act —the Maintenance and Champerty Act, 1634 (10Chas.1sess.3.c.15(Ir.))— Yelverton’s Act (21&22Geo.3.c.48(Ir.)) which confirmed English statutes of specified kinds (of which only those relating to the calendar still survive) and the Act of Union, 1800 (which extended enactments relating to the Crown, Parliament, the Peerage and the Church of Ireland — all now obsolete)."
 * [s. 6] "A comment is called for on the question of the jurisdiction of the pre-1800 English and British parliaments ... to legislate for Ireland." ... Poynings' Law (on certification of acts) gave the English crown a veto on Irish statutes. "But it did not give the English parliament the authority to legislate for Ireland. With such a veto there was no need to do so."

Statute Law Revision Project: "statutes of the English Parliament from 1495 to 1707 and of the Parliament of Great Britain (1707 to 1800) were presumed not to apply to Ireland unless they clearly applied, either by virtue of the Act concerned or any subsequent Act [...]

In determining whether or not a statute of the Parliament of England, Great Britain, or the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland applied to Ireland when enacted or subsequently, the following approach was taken:
 * if the statute expressly applied in whole or in part to Ireland, then that was taken to be the case;
 * if the statute by its content was generally applicable to His or Her Majesty’s Realms at the time of its enactment, then it was applicable to Ireland;
 * [fn 40 For example, the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750 (24 Geo. 2, c. 23) applied ‘throughout all his Majesty’s dominions and countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America, belonging or subject to the crown of Great Britain’—see preamble to that Act.]
 * if the statute, although in general not applicable to Ireland, provided that some consequential measure could be expressly taken in Ireland, then the statute was to be treated as applicable to Ireland when enacted.41"

 * By listing all those still in force or explicitly repealed one can infer which were presumed to have applied to Ireland, though not necessarily why
 * Why could by by right of GB implicitly or explicitly extending to Ireland, or by adoption by pre-1801 Irish act [or, conceivably, by pre-1801 GB act] or by extension by post-1801 UK act [or, very unlikely, post-1922 Oireachtas act]).




 * SLR 1874 s.2 55 Geo. 3. c. 91. (repealed by Statute Law Revision Act, 1873) revived as to Dublin; later "Criminal Costs (Dublin) Act 1815", repealed 1997
 * 47 Geo. 3 sess. 1 c. 8 [continues for another 7 years some expiring laws of Irish Parliament for importation of arms]

[https://books.google.ie/books?id=6SQPAQAAMAAJ&pg=GBS.PA378 9 & 10 Vict. c.59] after repealing 5 & 6 Ed. 6 c. 1 [Eng.] ss. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6:
 * "Also so much of any Act or Acts of the Parliament of Ireland as may have extended to Ireland the Provisions of the said Act of the Fifth and Sixth Years of the Reign of King Edward the Sixth, so far as the same is hereby repealed"
 * among later acts / parts repealed are several Irish: 2 Eliz cc. 1, 2; 17 & 18 Car. 2 c. 6 s. 6; 2 Anne c. 6 ss. 1, 2; 17 & 18 G. 3 c. 49 s. 5; 23 & 24 G. 3 c. 38; 33 G. 3 c. 21 s. 14

Some Westminster Parl acts are not expressed to create statutes but rather declaratory or explanatory of the common law. Since the common law was assumed to be the same in Ireland as in England, these declarations and explanations arguably applied to Ireland. (OTOH were there any such Irish acts?)
