    Does anyone know of any work done on magistrates, particularly landed magistrates before the famine? There doesn't seem to be much out there, but the control and manipulation this class held over society and law is a fascinating topic. Anyone shed any light on them?

    That seems pejorative... why that choice of words? Do you believe that all of them controlled and manipulated society and the law?

    That's what I want to find out. From the bits I have read, it would seem the majority at least were.
