Title

DEPOSIT AND REGISTRATION

Date

1759-1973

Description

Records or returns made by other bodies, although not arising from the work of the Justices of the Peace or of Quarter Sessions, were required by statute to be deposited with the Clerk of the Peace. Such records had to be registered and kept with the records of Quarter Sessions as a permanent record, available for consultation by the inhabitants of the county. Some documents were formally laid before the court on receipt, others were simply registered and filed by the Clerk of the Peace, sometimes also being copied into special enrolment books (Q/D/B).

Deposited documents include copies of enclosure awards, duplicates of land tax assessments, plans of projected public undertakings, verdicts of juries summoned to assess claims for damages, annual abstracts of accounts, rules of benefit societies and savings banks.
