Riassunto

Excerpt from A Short Guide to the Principal Classes of Documents: Preserved in the Public Record Office, Dublin

Parliament met intermittently, and from Queen Anne till 1787 it met only in alternate ere was one curious dissimilarity between g of the Committee of Articles and the Scots working of the Privy Council and the Irish Parliament. The one body was like the other in practice, yet the effects in Edinburgh were to shorten the duration of the session whereas the effects in Dublin were the reverse. Heads of Bills might originate with Parliament or the Government, which meant the Privy Council. Practically there were from 1692ito 1782 two classes of Bills, Government and non-government, Bills. The Privy Council Office contains Bills and Heads of Bills from 1711 to Minute Books of Heads of Bills from 1725 to 1789, and Rough Books thereof from 1777 to 1793. The latter contain minutes of the pro ceedings on the Bills laid before the Privy Council. The Minute Books proper are the minutes or memoranda of the proceedings at the Council Board on the Heads of Bills sent from either House of Parliament, or upon, the Bills that have taken their rise at this Board. There are draft letters transmitting Bills to England from 1735 to 1780. These are the original drafts of letters which the Irish Council sent -to the English Privy Council, recommending the approval of Parliamentary Bills which were to be returned as Transmisses to be read and passed by the Irish Parliament. The Letters state the object of the Bill, the circumstances of its introduction or preparation, and the reasons for its adoption.

There are records of the Council going' back to 1392 - 3, and 1542 - 1609. The Marquess of Ormonde possesses the earliest record of the Council in the R011, 1392 - 3, printed in the Rolls Series. According to Sir H. Sydney.
