Book description

Includes 'Calendar of the Roll of the Justices on Eyre, 1247', G. Herbert Fowler. The commission for the Eyre was issued on 25 May 1247 to hear the pleas of the counties of Northampton, Rutland, Bedford, Buckingham and seven others. Four justices sat for four weeks, from late September to late October, at Bedford and two of them spent two days in Dunstable on 29 and 30 September. The book's introduction explains the procedure of the Eyre and the type of cases heard by the court. The roll has 873 entries which have been abstracted in English. The cases include civil (e.g. property) cases, ecclesiastical matters, sudden death, theft and crime generally. Jurors of the hundreds also presented crimes and there is a list of the presenting juries.
