Synopsis

A Digested Abridgment, And Comparative View, Of The Statute Law Of England And Ireland: To The Year 8, Inclusive : Analytically Arranged In The Order Of Sir W. Blackstone's Commentaries : With A Chronological Table Of The Statutes, And An Index To The Work by Joseph Gabbet. This English-language legal reference offers a systematic, comparative digest of English and Irish statute law up to the early 19th century, designed to mirror the structure of Blackstone’s Commentaries and to facilitate cross-jurisdictional study. It surveys the governance framework for Ireland’s local administration, detailing subordinate magistrates—sheriffs and under-sheriffs, coroners, justices of the peace, constables, surveyors of highways, and overseers of the poor—and outlines the procedural and financial controls governing roads, prisons, taxation, and welfare. The work emphasizes oaths, recognizances, affidavits, and penalties as mechanisms of accountability and public order, while noting the mutual influence between English and Irish statutes. Preface material situates the volume in the Georgian–early Victorian period and explains its aims for lawyers, judges, legislators, and historians.
