Description (What the record is about)
-
The only body of records connected with the Sheriff which is likely to survive in official custody is that arising from the work of the County Court. In Montgomeryshire we seem to have the chance
survival of a small group of records of this court, valuable as a sample if for no other reason.
Records of Montgomeryshire County Court, 1817-1824, including court books, 1817-1824; writs of justices, 1821-1822; and court file, 1821-1822.

County Courts date back to Saxon times, but were established in their present form by the County Courts Act 1846. They deal mainly with cases relating to minor debt and bankruptcy, and workmen's compensation. In the early 19th century, the Montgomeryshire County Court, dealing with actions of debt for sums of less than £2, sat at Machynlleth and Montgomery alternately.
