Reference
JUST 4/4/69
Date
40-48 Edw III
Description

Assize file, Eastern Circuit (Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Huntingdonshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire).

Justices: Roger de Meres and others.

Broken file, recovered from various places. Some sections remain on fragments of the original thong, while others have been re-threaded on modern string, and large numbers of membranes remain loose. The section from the rear bears a cover and and end stop (possibly modern replacements), while another, presumably from the front, bears another end stop. The file is badly disordered, and significant losses are likely.

It is possible that some of the material within this file may actually belong to subsequent sessions for this circuit (c.f. JUST 4/4/69, JUST 1/1479).

(c. 800 mm)
