Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: INV-JED
IRELAND .-Ill Ireland the High Court has the same summary
powers
  in cases of contempt, and the
term
  " court of summary
jurisdiction
  " has the same meaning as in England (Interpretation Act 1889, s. 13 [n]), subject to the definition of the Summary
Jurisdiction
  (Ireland) Acts, which are, as regards the Dublin
metropolitan
  police
district
 , the acts regulating the
powers
  and duties of justices of the peace or of the police of that
district
 , and as respects any other part of Ireland the
Petty
  Sessions (Ireland) Act 1851 (14 and 15 Vict. c. 93) and any act amending the same. The acts are more extensive in their purview than the English acts, as they form in a
great
  degree a code of substantive law as well as of procedure. By an act of 1884 the same jurisdiction was given as to offences by children as by the act of 1879 in England. Stipendiary or
resident
  magistrates may be appointed in the place of unpaid justices under an act of 1836 (6 & 7 W. IV. C. 13). The exceptional political circumstances of Ireland have led to the conferring at different times on courts of summary jurisdiction of an authority, generally temporary, greater than that which they can exercise in
Great
  Britain.
Recent
  instances are the Peace Preservation Act 1881, and the Prevention of Crimes Act 1882, both expired, and the Criminal Law and Procedure (Ireland) Act 1887.
