Does anyone know if the records of the Dublin County City Commission are available? I'm looking for a case that was scheduled for "the commission for Oyer and Terminer for the county and city of Dublin" in February 1911.

This is just a fancy name for the Assizes for Dublin. Usually fully reported in the newspapers, to which I would resort.

Thank you. Do you know if the Southern Police Court also has a more common name?

That is its common name. The Dublin Metropolitan Police Court had at least three locations - Central, Southern, and Northern. I believe this is the Dublin equivalent to petty sessions in rural areas.

Do you know, by any chance, if any of the records of the the police court have survived? I asked the archive but they weren't familiar with the name. The case I am interested in was scheduled for the assizes but was dropped before it went to trial.

Perhaps the Prisoner books will have something useful to you.

This looks like it should be so useful for me! But I don't see the women I am looking for in it. The crime was murder (later manslaughter) and this book seems to say it was for crimes related to dishonesty? I have their Mountjoy General Register of Prisoners, but it doesn't spell out the outcome other than one was released "by order of the Lord's Justice" a few days before the assizes were supposed to take place.

According to the National Archives description page, they don't survive - or at least are not held by the NAI.
