John Bysse (c.1602–1680) was a member of the Parliament of Ireland during the 1630s and 1640s: he was excluded from office during the Interregnum and was one of the leading Irish judges after the restoration of the monarchy. ==Biography== Bysse was born around 1602, to Christopher Bysse (dead by 1615), an official of the Exchequer (as was John's grandfather), and Margaret Forster, daughter of John Forster, an alderman of Dublin. Bysse was admitted a member of the King's Inns in 1632. He was elected to the Irish House of Commons as member for Charlemont in 1634 and became Recorder of Dublin in the same year. He was re-elected to the Commons in 1640. At the outbreak of Irish Rebellion of 1641 John Bysse, along with his younger brother Robert (who was Recorder of Drogheda) were among the leaders of the Protestants in Parliament. During the Commonwealth he remained Recorder of Dublin, he was twice recommended for appointment to the Bench and was elected to Parliament, but excluded. At the Restoration he was appointed Chief Baron of the Irish Exchequer and held the office until his death. In addition to serving on the Bench, he attended regularly at the Irish House of Lords, acting as a legal adviser to the peers. He is buried in St. Audoen's Church, Dublin. Bysse became a substantial landowner, inheriting Preston's Inn, on the site of the present City Hall, Dublin, where he built a substantial mansion, (demolished in the 1760s); and Brackenstown near Swords; later he was granted part of the freehold of Philipstown (now Daingean). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Bysse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
