- Richard_White_(Irish_judge) abstract "Richard White (died 1367) was an Irish judge who held office as Lord Chief Justice of Ireland; he is notable for his complaints to the English Crown about the corruption and inefficiency of some of his colleagues.He was born at Clongill, near Navan in County Meath; the White family owned Clongill Castle until the seventeenth century. LIke all Irish barristers of the time he studied law in England and was living there in 1352, when he was given a licence to import corn into Ireland.He returned to Ireland in 1354. In 1359 he was Serjeant-at-law (Ireland); as was not uncommon then, the appointment was for a limited period and covered part of the country only. He became Lord Chief Justice in November 1363.At this time several Irish officials, including Thomas de Burley, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, were subject to serious criticism for corruption and maladministration. In 1364 White was one of a delegation of nobles and officials, headed by Maurice FitzGerald, 4th Earl of Kildare sent by the Irish House of Commons to England to report on the state of Irish government, and to ask for Burley's removal. White was in England from April to July 1364 when Nicholas Lumbard was acting Lord Chief Justice.The delegation had some success, at least in the short term: Burley was removed as Lord Chancellor (though later reinstated) and White himself appointed to a new commission to inquire into the state of the Irish administration. He seems to have enjoyed the personal favour of King Edward III, who gave him a licence to acquire land to the value of £20, although as a rule it was strictly forbidden for Irish officials to do this. Significantly, the King ordered that White and his colleagues should not be "troubled" at home for their mission to England., which suggests that they were afraid of retribution from Burley and his allies. In 1365 he was much occupied with keeping the peace in Munster. He died in 1367.".
