On the desirability of establishing by Act of Parliament a corporate body to act as trustee, executor, administrator etc.
Lawson, William
Every person who dies possessed of any estate, however small, must be succeeded by an administrator, executor, or trustee, whose duty it is to administer, manage, or realize that estate in accordance with the provisions of the law, or the expressed wishes of the deceased; and during life cases are of constant occurrence in which, from necessity or expediency, or the incapacity or absence from the country of proprietors, the control of estates falls upon trustees, attorneys, agents, receivers, etc.
Despite the difficulties and disadvantages that have been enumerated, and many others that will suggest themselves to the readers of this paper, no alternative mode of carrying into effect the wishes of a principal, unable or unwilling to act himself, seems possible, unless we can substitute combined for individual action. This may be done either by establishing a company or corporation, or by creating a state department. There are objections to this last, especially in a country where the state has too much to do already. Such a department, however, exists in other countries?e.g, in Australia, New Zealand, India, and elsewhere, and apparently works well.

The government valuation of Ireland: an examination of its authority as a standard of value
Bailey, William F.
The first act for the valuation of Ireland was passed in the year 1826
(7 Geo. IY. cap. 62). It was intended to form the basis of rating
for county purposes only, its object being, according to the preamble,
"the more equal levying of county cess charges and grand jury
rates upon the several baronies, parishes, and other divisions of
land, within the several counties of Ireland." Under this statute a
Commissioner of Valuation was appointed. Mr. Griffith (afterwards
Sir Eichard Griffith) was the first to fill the post, and this, and all
subsequent valuations of Ireland were carried out under his directions.

Magistrates' law and suggested increase of jurisdiction and powers
Moore, Fletcher
Having had some years experience in the workings of these courts [Magistrates courts]
and of observing where and by what methods they might be made
more useful to the suitors and to the public generally, I purpose to
set out these in this paper in as plain and concise a manner as may
be possible, consistent with dealing with so extended and difficult
a subject.
