Administrative History	The Justices' Qualification Act 18 Geo II c.20 (1745) provided that a justice must possess an estate worth at least £100 a year and take an oath to that effect. The qualification was altered by subsequent acts.
Arrangement	The individual oaths were numbered and some, perhaps all, assembled into bundles in the 19th century. Surviving bundles are now numbered Q/JP/3/1-16. Those found loose now constitute bundles numbered Q/JP/3/17-20. Numbers in brackets are old numbers found on the individual oaths, sometimes followed by box numbers found on the bundles.
