Sir Henry Lynch, 3rd Baronet Sir Henry Lynch, 3rd Baronet (died 1691) was an Irish landowner, barrister and judge. He was one of the Roman Catholic judges appointed by James II of England in his effort to transform the religious character of the Irish administration. As a judge Lynch was described in unflattering terms both by contemporaries and later historians. Unlike some of his judicial colleagues, he was accused of gross bias against Protestants, which may be why he was one of the few Catholic Irish judges who fled abroad after the downfall of James's cause following the Battle of the Boyne. He died in exile in France.
Theobald Butler (solicitor-general) Sir Theobald (Toby) Butler (1650-1720) was a leading barrister and politician in late seventeenth-century Ireland, who held office as Solicitor General for Ireland. He is mainly remembered for framing the articles of the Treaty of Limerick, and for his eloquent plea to the Irish House of Commons against the Popery Act of 1703, which allowed any Protestant son of a Roman Catholic landowner to debar his Catholic brothers from inheriting the family property. He was a much loved "character" in Dublin, and his great popularity shielded him from any harm which he might have suffered as a result of his religious beliefs.
