Who’s Who in the States: 1981-1984

Who’s Who in the States: 1981-1984

It's always a problem when looking at old records to know who was president of what committee, and who in fact was in the States. In 1981-1984, as can be seen, there were committees for everything under the sun! 

Where I can, I have indicated where these committees ended up in later States consolidations.

I've also out in "known" names and / or first names when I knew them. I'll gladly update if anyone has any more information. Most of these come from my memory!

The Bailiff, Sir Frank Ereaut. (1975-1985)

[A correspondent writes:" I was in Sir Frank‘s Royal Court sitting when he was the last Judge in Jersey to actually sentence a murderer to death, black cap and all. (All murderers’ sentences were commuted to life). Even though the accused knew he wasn’t going to meet the hangman, it was still interesting watching his face as the words were said."]
