Summary

In the following tables, the arrangement of columns is as follows. The first shows the number of J.P.s put into commission by the committee of the Council that was set up in October 1686 and the second shows the number of these who were Catholics. The third shows the number of Catholic J.P.s who were not put in by the committee but who were in commission when the ‘three questions’ were tendered at the end of 1687 or during 1688, and so must have been put in later in 1687 or early in 1688. In some cases it is not clear whether they were put in before or after the tendering of the three questions. These are marked with an asterisk. The fourth and fifth columns show the number of J.P.s put in in the second remodelling, after the three questions, and the number of them who were Catholics. The sixth shows the number of Catholic J.P.s put in during 1687 or 1688 who for some reason do not appear in the final lists for 1688. The seventh and eighth columns give the total numbers of deputy lieutenants and J.P.s in the final lists and the ninth and tenth show the number of each who were Catholics. The last column shows the percentage of Catholics in the final lists of deputy lieutenants and J.P.s for each county.
