County Kildare Grand Jury Abstracts of Presentments 

Presentments were decisions of the Grand Jury, usually involving proposals to spend local taxes (the cess) that were approved by the grand jury and authorised  by the judge at the assizes. A presentment schedule (or 'long list') of all requests for spending was produced in advance of the assizes, then the ‘short list’ of approved works were noted in a manuscript book by the Clerk of the Crown. The approved presentments were printed as Abstracts of Presentments. The surviving manuscript book for Co. Kildare and the printed Abstracts can be viewed via the links below.
