19 September 1825 The Court did not sit on this date although the Book was written up in anticipation. Perhaps only one or no magistrate was available – see note at Summons No. 751.

Note: One can see that at the start of the Book the Court sat regularly on a Monday each week but that towards the end of our period, in 1826, the justices seem to have adopted the practice of sitting every second Monday, and disposing of a considerable volume of business at each court. This seems to indicate that the Petty Sessions Court System is undergoing a process of development at this time. It may be that directions were coming to the justices from Government towards the establishment of the sort of uniform practice which the 1827 Act made statutory.

The Court generated an income [for the Court clerk?] of £16.15s.0d per year averaged over these two years from the fees for the issue of summones.

DOWNPATRICK ASSIZE 2nd August 1825.

"Edward J.Marsh, apothecary, Hilltown and Hannah Kelly for stealing Bank Notes to the amount of £178 and a bond for £67, the property of Patrick O'Hagan. It appears that the house of the prosecutor was entered on Thursday before New Year's Day and the Bank Notes, three bonds, two of them for upwards of £100 and several other documents taken away. O'Hagan in consequence of some dispute with his daughter, the prisoner Hannah Kelly, had put her out of his house, when she went into the service of Mr.Marsh's mother - in consequence of some suspicion the old man obtained an order to search Mr.Marsh's house for the stolen property and two constables were sent upon this errand in the middle of the night of 5th July - below a bed which Mr. Marsh acknowledges to be his they found lying lose among a parcel of useless papers a bond for £67 and an old account book which had been taken from the from the prosecutor's house at the time of the robbery and in a desk in the shop which Mr. marsh opened for them they found a marriage licence which had been taken out at the same time - Not guilty" - Most probably the Examinations were granted at Rathfriland Magistrates Court.]
