Administrative History | The Act of 5-6 Ed VI c 25 (1552) required licensed victuallers to enter into a recognisance (bond) of good behaviour which was to remain on record at Quarter Sessions. The Act of 26 Geo II c 31 (1753) also required the Clerk of the Peace to keep a register of bonds. An Act of 9 Geo IV c 61 (1828) brought this system to an end. |
