Mike Spencer notes:
"As you can see it's a source of much genealogical detail and
often underused. Much more went on in Matlock in the Manor Court than
is listed here, and there are no fines towards those who committed
misdemeanours; they tend to be in earlier years.
The Court also appointed Constables or Headboroughs and these are
generally found in the earlier books."
