WEST RIDING. 



RETURN of Eccles Cuthbcrt, Esq. Assistant Barrister. 

I was appointed Assistant Barrister of the West Riding of the County of Cork, by warrant, 
bearing date 7th May 1832, and have in that district ever since continued. 

I was called to the Bar in Hilary Term 1800, and have ever since practised in the profession. 

The salary I receive at the Treasury is net 466 1. 10 s. 4 d. yearly.. 

The amount of the Fees 1 have received in each and every sessions since my appointment are 
specified in the Returns from the Clerk of the Peace. ... , . . . „ . 

In those Returns there are, probably, some trifling inaccuracies, but they are substantially corrert. 

In reply to the reference as to the number of Civil Bills decided, distinguishing those “defended 
and undefended ,” I have no immediate means of affording full information, but I submit, in the paper 
marked (A), accounts, as returned to me by the Clerk of the Peace at the end of each sessions, of the 
-.1.-1- ~c .1,- „:..:i k., D ; nAB . a nd "" which mv Fees were calculated. This will 1 trust 



which my Fees were calculated. This i 



whole detail of the civil business, 

an 0 f O tfie number of Prisoners actually “ tried ” I cannot make any exact return, but in the paper 
marked (B), and herewith transmitted, I have extracted and stated from the several Crown books of 
the respective sessions since May 1832, an account of the numbers of all persons 
offences : but as several of these traversed in prox, and of whom subsequently I find no distinct 
memorandum, I think the numbers I have returned may be received as m reference to the actual 

trials as somewhat exaggerated. , _ , , _ . <• ,,,1 • i, 

I think it proper to add, that many numbers appear on the Crown books as appeals, of which 
I have not taken any notice in these my Returns. „ 

The business also under the late Licensing Act has greatly added to the duties performed m the 
Crown Court.
