The Law Officers' Establishment, set up in 1823, was a loose term to describe the organisation that contained the Supreme Court and the Sheriff's Department, which after the early 1830s, included gaols, which housed children. In 1856, following self-government, the Law Officer's Establishment became the Office of the Attorney-General, one of the first three ministerial portfolios.
