KÁLMÁN, ZSOLT: POLICING IN SOMOGY COMITAT FROM THE EXPULSION OF THE TURKS TO THE ORGANIZATION OF THE HUNGARIAN ROYAL GENDARMERIE The author reviews the organizations whose duty was to maintain the public safety circumstances of the comitat from the expulsion of the Turks to the outbreak of World War I, in chronological order. The reader is acquainted with the contemporary circumstances of the comitat which basically determine the requirements set for the order-keeping corporations, namely the Pandours, the Imperial and Royal Gendarmerie and the Hungarian Royal Gendarmerie. The Pandours were the first independent policing public body of the comitat. The gendarmes with their unprecedented centralized organization symbolized the embodiment of the Austrian neoabsolutistic system. After the Compromise of 1867 their place was taken by the Pandours again. As a part of the gendarmerie district VI (of Székesfehérvár) of the Hungarian Royal Gendarmerie, from 1st January 1884 the gendarmes took over the protection of public safety in Somogy as well. Consequently, again — and then irreversibly - the control over the body commissioned to maintain public safety got out of the hands of the comitat. However, in their organization and performing their duty they took over the time-honoured methods formed by the predecessors. The Somogy comitat organs of the Hungarian Royal Gemdarmerie gave the comitat an account of their number conditions and the work carried out, precisely and in a traceable way from their establishment to the end of the period studied by the author, thus to some extent they formed part of the comitat organs after all. VONYÓ, ANITA: SELECTED PASSAGES CONCERNING THE PURCHASE OF THE ORCI ESTATE IN 1893. SOURCE PUBLICATION During the whole era of the history of the Piarist domain of Székesfehérvár aiming at the extension of its territory from the beginning, the most significant business and at the same time the trial of its economy was the purchase of the Baron Boxberg estate on the confines of the village of Orci in Somogy county in 1893. Before the change of owners, a detailed survey of the whole estate was made, which provides an excellent picture of the local situations of the end of the 19th century: the favourable communication-geographical situation of the village was outlined, the distribution of the territory according to land use, and an inventory of the moveable and immoveable properties was taken. The estate had been the ancient property of the Orczy family, which passed into the proprietorship of the Baron Boxberg family through marriage, then it was purchased from them by the Piarist Order. The change of ownership resulted in several profound, far-reaching economic and social changes in Orci. KISS, NORBERT PÉTER: THE WORK OF KOVÁCS-SEBESTÉNY, GYULA IN THE MIRROR OF THE WEEKLY PAPER TITLED SOMOGY The author presents the activity of Kovács-Sebestény, Gyula, the first school-inspector of Somogy comitat in the mirror of the articles in the weekly titled Somogy. Kovács-Sebestény contributed to the development of the public education of Somogy comitat to a high degree in the dualistic era. He achieved this partly through the performance of the tasks and obligations proceeding from his post as school-inspector, on the other hand, he facilitated the development of the comitat’s public education through his writings published in the Somogy. His „pen-duel” with the Szigetvár Teachers’ Society raised and analyzed every problem of the contemporary educational situation. Those included irregular school attendance, the awkwardness of the teachers’ situation, the condition of the school buildings, and the issues of educational supervision. His reports about his school visits were almost always published by the Somogy, and we can also read about the school-inspector’s organizing activity in the columns of the weekly paper. The teachers’- and relief society movement also found in him an enthusiastic supporter. 176
