Prior to 1752 the dates here can differ from Hewitson, especially in February and March, since he has converted the dates to Gregorian.

1. Only a minimum of punctuation has been added and this, hopefully, assists in understanding.

2. Spelling changes have generally also been kept to a minimum. Reversal of letters was quite common in the 17th Century - some of these have been modernised to assist readability.

3. The presentments, as a general rule, start with the phrase "We find and present". For the sake of my sanity this repetition has been missed out.

Any term abbreviated or difficult to understand will have an explanation in square brackets [ ]. More complex terms will be hyperlinked to a separate page.

Hyperlinks in green point to Court Leets where the jury is sworn in but have no presentments.

Nominated officers will be added over a period of time. These individuals were normally sworn in in the October court.
