Reginald de Snyterby

[1] He was probably born in Dublin, to a family which originated in Snitterby, Lincolnshire, and came to Ireland in the late thirteenth century.

In 1421 he sat on a commission with William Tynbegh, Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas, and Richard Bermingham, second Baron of the Exchequer, to hear charges of treason in County Dublin.

[1] He was one of a panel of senior judges, including John Blakeney and Reginald's Chief Baron James Cornwalsh, who regularly sat on judicial commissions to try or inquire into cases of treason or felony.

[8] In 1426/7 Reginald, Blakeney and Cornwalsh were the judges who sat on a judicial commission at Trim, County Meath to hear an indictment for theft (he had allegedly stolen a chalice) against the Bishop of Meath, Edward Dantsey,[9] which ended in his acquittal (a man called Penthony later confessed to being the thief).

[7] In 1434, two years before his death, Reginald was appointed to a judicial commission to inquire into all treasons committed in Dublin and the counties of the Pale.
