- Court_of_Castle_Chamber abstract "The Court of Castle Chamber was an Irish Court of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It was set up in 1571 to deal with cases of riot, offences against public order and any other offence which threatened the security of the Crown. It was explicitly modelled on the English Court of Star Chamber and was often referred to as Star Chamber; it took its own name from the chamber (which no longer exists) specially built for it in Dublin Castle. Like Star Chamber it was initially popular with private litigants who, under the guise of complaining about riot, brought private suits to Castle Chamber, which was often swamped with private business as a result. Its jurisdiction to hear private cases was often questioned, and was not finally confirmed until 1634.In the seventeenth century, like its English counterpart, it was used by the Stuart dynasty as an instrument for enforcing arbitrary rule and became highly unpopular as a result; its use by Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford as a method of enforcing control over his political opponents was one of the reasons for his downfall in 1641. During the political upheaval following the Irish Rebellion of 1641, the Court simply ceased to operate, although there is no record that it was ever formally abolished.".
