Archive Creator	Derby Quarter Sessions (1446-1971)
Administrative History	In 1446 Derby Borough was given the right to appoint a Borough Recorder, who with two bailiffs, formed a commission of the peace to preside over the Court of Record. The charter of 1611 constituted certain officers justices of the peace to keep Quarter Sessions. Matters of civil administration were transferred to the Borough Council in 1888, and judicial matters to the Crown Court in 1972. A fire in the 19th century and a flood in the 20th century destroyed many of Derby's official records.
Custodial History	These records were transferred via Derby Local Studies Library under Section 4(1) of the Public Records Act in February 1992.
Organisation Sub-Type	Quarter Sessions
Related Material	See also D4983/5 (Derby Borough Town Clerk) which also contains Quarter Sessions papers.
