조선후기 지방 守令의 管外 업무에 대한 검토 - 南原縣을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This study was intended to examine outside-the-Jurisdiction task of local suryeong(守令) in the late Joseon Dynasty, and particularly attempted to examine the case of Namwonhyeon(南原縣) in the early 18th century. For this purpose, suryeong's outside-the-Jurisdiction tasks were researched, focusing on 『Namwonhyeongongsa (南原縣公事)』and ꡔNamwonhyeoncheobboimunseongchaeg(南原縣牒報移文成冊)』, which were the collections of various reporting documents produced in Namwonhyeon(南原縣) at the time. In particular, the outside- he-Jurisdiction tasks of Namwonhyeon-suryeong(南原縣守 令) in the early 18th century were reviewed, focusing on gyeomgwan(兼官), chugwan(推 官) and sagwan(査官) etc. To summarize, first, when a local suryeong became vacant, a suryeong of its neighboring county temporarily became a gyeomgwan. Judging by the terms wonjeong-gyeomgwan(原定兼官) and wonjeong-gyeomeub(原定兼邑), it appears that there was an internal regulation regarding gyeomeub(兼邑). Second, suryeong had to attend lawsuits in its neighboring county as a chugwan as part of his litigation duties, and it was called dongchu(同推). In addition, in the case of a prison case, he had to participate as a dongchugwan(同推官) for the sake of prosecution. Third, when gwanchalsa(觀察使) specifically appointed a suryeong and ordered him to investigate or handle a certain matter, it was called a sagwan. The outside-the-Jurisdiction tasks of gyeomgwan, chugwan and sagwan were official duties carried out by suryeong under the instructions of gwanchalsa, and it was arduous tasks that were as important as the public main duties within the jurisdiction and placed a great burden on suryeong. This study is meaningful in that it is a case study of the reality of outside-the- Jurisdiction tasks of suryeong, that is, gyeomgwan, chugwan, and sagwan etc, and that there are only a few existing previous studies.
