66 DENBIGHSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS RECORDS
Edited by A.G. Veysey
Clwyd County Council 1991
A4 Card covers Vol I ix 4- 201 pp Vol II v 4- 196 pp
ISSN 0141-416X ISBN 0 90444984 X
Price £10.95 4- £2.75 postage
The records of Denbighshire Quarter Sessions have survived in great quantity, and are earlier in date than those of any other Welsh county, apart from Caernarfonshire. This latest addition to the Clwyd Record Office's Handlist series provides a detailed list of all these records, which begin in 1647 and end with the court's abolition in 1971.
Volume I lists the records of the court in session-rolls, order and minute books, etc-as well as administrative and financial records relating to all aspects of county government, including bridges, the county gaol, county buildings, and the police force. They detail the activities of the architects Thomas Penson the elder, county surveyor of Flintshire, and his son, Thomas Penson the younger, county surveyor of Denbighshire; the great engineer, Thomas Telford; and the architect, Joseph Turner of Chester.
Volume II lists the enclosure awards and maps, and deposited plans of roads, canals, railways and other public undertakings. There are details of records relating to religion, crime, poverty and philanthropy, while records of parliamentary elections include the land-tax assessments, 1778-1832.
Appendices give information on early "stray' records of the court in the National Library of Wales and the British Library, and of the records of Denbigh borough quarter sessions, which are also in the record office. There is an index of subjects and record classes, and many of the longer series have indexes of places.

74 RELIGION QSD/DA
Oaths and declarations
The Test Act, 25 Chas.II, c.2 (1673) required every person holding civil office to take the oath of allegiance and supremacy, make a declaration denying the doctrine of transubstantiation and to deliver a certificate to the court to the effect that the sacrament of the Lord's Supper had been received. This Act, which operated equally against Roman Catholics and Protestant non-conformists, was not repealed until 1828, and was several times re-enacted with various amendments in connection with the taking of oaths of allegiance, abjuration and supremacy from 1701 onwards.
Declarations of Christian faith were ordered by the Act 52 Geo.Ill, c.155 (1812) and declarations by magistrates being Protestants were made under the Act 9 Geo.IV, c.17 (1829). Promissory oaths, oaths of allegiance to Queen Victoria and her successors, were ordered by the Act 31 and 32 Viet., c.72 (1868).

Game duty QSD/DF
By 24 Geo. Ill, c.43 (1784) and 25 Geo.Ill, c.50, (1785) all persons who killed game had to apply to the clerk of the peace for a certificate authorising them to do so, for which a certain amount of stamp duty was payable. The clerk of the peace would annually transmit to the Stamp Office at London correct lists of persons who had been granted certificates. The Stamp Office would then publish these lists once or more a year in the county newspaper. Draft lists are alphabetically arranged and give name and abode of qualified person.
Applications for certificates, with bills and accounts for certificates issued. Also includes draft lists of persons granted certificates and of gamekeepers appointed.

82 QSD/DH HIGHWAYS
Diversion, closure and widening
Under 13 Geo.Ill, c.78 ss. 19-22 (1773) a highway, bridleway or footway might be diverted or stopped up by the order of two or more justices at their special sessions, with the consent of the landowner, provided that the proposed way was nearer or more convenient to the public. Quarter sessions confirmed the order and a certificate of completion of the new way was to be returned to the clerk of the peace for enrolment. By ss.16-18, two or more justices might order a narrow road to be widened. By the Act 55 Geo.Ill, c.68 (1815), the relevant sections in the earlier Act were repealed, a slightly more elaborate procedure substituted, and justices' powers extended to the stopping up of unnecessary ways. A notice was to be inserted in three successive issues of local newspapers, and the order returned to the clerk of the peace for enrolment. These provisions were repeated in the Highways Act of 5 & 6 Will.IV, c.50 (1835).
Justices' orders and certificates (with plans and related papers)
Papers include orders, local newspapers (from 1815), correspondence and, frequently, plans. The plans are usually quite detailed giving owner, and sometimes occupier, of every field through which old and new ways pass, field and other local names, and many of the plans give owners and occupiers of adjacent fields.

101 JURORS
Under the Act of 7 and 8 Wm.III c.32 (1696) all constables, annually, at the Michaelmas quarter sessions were to return a list of names and places of abode of all persons qualified to serve upon juries between the ages of 21 and 70 and the justices were to deliver a duplicate of the list through the clerk of the peace to the sheriff or his deputy on or before January 1 following, and cause the lists to be entered into a book by the clerk of the peace, and to be kept amongst the records of the court of quarter sessions (s.4). According to the Act of 4 and 5 Win. and Mary c.24 (1692) jury qualification was the possession of freehold or copyhold land to the value of £6 per annum (s.15). The Act of 6 Geo. IV c.50 (1825) extended the qualification for jury service and freeholders' lists are superseded by jurors lists.
The Act of 6 Geo.IV, c.50 (1825) 'for consolidating and amending the laws relative to Jurors and Juries' revised the earlier Acts relating to juries - 4 and 5 Wm. and Mary c.24 (1692) and 7 and 8 Wm.III, c.32 (1696). It stated (s.l) that (in England) every man, between the ages of 21 and 60, possessing freehold or copyhold land to the value of £10 per annum, land leased for a term of 21 years or longer, to the annual value of £20, householders assessed to pay £20 poor rate, or occupiers of houses containing not less than 15 windows, should be qualified to serve on juries in courts of assizes, on grand juries in courts of sessions of the peace and on petty juries. (Jurors serving at the general quarter sessions were known as either grand jurors or petit jurors). The qualification for Welsh jurors was to be three-fifths of that for English jurors, that is £6 per annum freeholders or copyholders, £12 per annum long leaseholders, £12 per annum householders or occupiers of houses containing not less than 9 windows.
Warrants were sent out by the clerk of the peace to high constables of each hundred, who were to send precepts to churchwardens and overseers of the poor of each parish, to make out lists of jurors; these lists were then to be approved at petty sessions held in the last week of September each year; the lists were then to be returned to quarter sessions to be copied by the clerk of the peace into the jurors' books for the sheriffs use in the following year.
The Act of 1825 was amended by the Juries Act 1870 (33 and 34 Viet. c.77) under which (s.7) the qualification for Welsh jurors was to become the same as that for English jurors.
All duties of listing were transferred by the Juries Act of 1922 to the county registration officer and the clerk of the county council.
102 As for exemption from jury service by the Act 5 and 6 Viet., c.35 (1842) al l commissioners of taxes could on request be granted a certificate which exempted them from all parish and ward offices and for serving on juries. The clerk of the peace was then to enrol these certificates. The Income Tax Act of 8 and 9 Geo.V., c.40 (1918) confirmed these provisions.
Books and Lists
[Note: both the freeholders books and lists record name, abode and sometimes rank or occupation; the latter also sometimes include names of freeholds. Jurors' books and lists provide juror's name, occupation and nature of qualification (that is freehold, leasehold, poor rate, house or window assessment). In most cases the name of the house or street (where appropriate) is given in addition to the name of the township].

Land tax assessments
The land tax was first levied in 1692 under the Act of 4 Wm. and Mary, c.1, by which the tax was assessed at four shillings in the pound on the value of land. Under the Act of 18 Geo.II, c.18 (1745) duplicates of the land tax assessments were to be sent to the clerks of the peace for the respective counties, and to be kept amongst the records of the sessions. In order to lessen the number of disputes at county elections no person could claim to vote unless assessed to the land tax under the Act of 20 Geo.Ill, c.17, s.3 (1780), and the clause relating to the sending of duplicates to the clerk of the peace was reiterated. The Representation of the People Act, 1832 (2 and 3 Wm.IV, c.45), made the preparation of these duplicates unnecessary.
The assessments give the names of the owners of land, occupiers (from 1781), and occasionally provide the name of the property. Assessments drawn up between 1825 and 1831 were on a standard form demanded by the Act of 6 Geo. IV, c.32 (1825). These give the amount of rental, the names of proprietors and occupiers, the name of the property, sums assessed and exonerated, and sums assessed and not exonerated.

114 Electoral lists and registers By the Representation of the People Act, 2 and 3 Wm, c.45 (1832) overseers of the poor were to deliver annually the list of voters for each parish to the high constable; the latter forwarded them to the clerk of the peace to be passed to the revising barrister. He ruled on claims for inclusion on the register and objections to names already included, revised the lists and returned them for preservation among the quarter session records, often via the Denbighshire Constabulary. The clerk of the peace was then to copy the revised lists into a book,to assign a serial number to each name and deliver the book to the sheriff or undersheriff to be the register of electors for the ensuing year and to have it printed. The Act of 1832 enlarged the county franchise to include men aged 21 or over possessing copyhold property to the value of £10 per annum, leaseholders of £50, and long leaseholders of £10, in addition to freeholders of 40s.Od. Further extensions to the franchise were made by the Reform Acts of 1867 and 1884.
The lists of claims and objections are arranged according to the year and within each year by hundreds until 1844 and by polling district from 1846.
The lists and registers provide the name of the voter, his abode, the nature of his property, qualification and the place where the property is situated.
In the list below, the word 1 lists' can refer to a number of types of documents:
1. Manuscript parish returns (1833-60). These are the lists of claimants sent in by the parish overseer to the clerk of the peace for the attention of the revising barrister. These sometimes contain additional information: occupations, alterations in residence and whether the voter died or left the parish.
2. Drafts of the printed registers, usually based on the previous year's register with amendments.
3. Unbound copies of the printed register.
Lists can be incomplete in two ways: (1) where details for certain parishes have not survived, (2) where electors lists 'B' and 'C' only have survived, containing names of newly qualified electors and electors no longer qualified.
From 1832, Denbighshire returned 2 members of parliament, one for the county constituency and a second for the Denbigh Boroughs constituency. The Redistribution of Seats Act, 48 and 49 Viet., c.23 (1885) divided Denbighshire into 3 constituencies: Western (also known as "Denbigh); Eastern (also known as Wrexham); and the Denbigh Boroughs constituency (the boroughs of Denbigh, Holt, Ruthin and Wrexham). The Denbigh Boroughs constituency was amalgamated with the two county constituencies in 1918. Since 1974 the registers have been prepared by the district councils; copies are available in the record office.
115 The registers and lists described here contain until 1889 only the names of those who were entitled to vote in elections for the county constituency; for registers of voters for the Denbigh Boroughs constituency 1832-54 see DD/DM/234/1 and BD/A/219-236; for Holt 1867 see DD/DM/234/2; and for Holt 1898 see DD/DM/311/15.

The Militia officers
The Militia Act of 30 Geo.II c.25 (1757) required deputy lieutenants and officers commissioned in the militia to make a signed declaration of their property qualification, which was to be filed with the records of the court and the^ clerk of the peace was to copy the declaration on to a roll. This provision was continued by succeeding Acts, including 42 Geo.Ill, c.90 (1802). The Act 38 and 39 Viet., c.69 (1875) required the qualifying declarations to be sent to the clerk of the lieutenancy, the clerk of the peace being required to enrol a copy, and to send a further copy to the lord lieutenant.
The rolls give the name of the officer, the parishes in which the qualifying property lay and, in some instances, the approximate annual value of the estate. The property declarations bear an autograph signature.

140 Constables and overseers The retiring high constable presented the names of three fit persons residing in the same hundred to succeed him as high constable, and the justices for the appropriate hundred could recommend to quarter sessions which of the three perons should fil l the office. These returns were submitted in October of a particular year and the man who was recommended was to serve in the office for the ensuing year. A mark was usually placed against his name on the list.
Under 5 and 6 Viet., c.109 (1842) overseers of the poor were to make out lists of persons qualified to serve as parish constables, with their places of abode and occupations. The overseers were to return the lists to the justices for the appropriate division, and the justices at a special sessions chose as many parish constables from the names on the list as they deemed necessary. Marks were placed against the names of those who were appointed. Lists of those appointed were then sent by the justices1 clerks to the clerk of the peace.

Victuallers and alehouse keepers
Under the Act of 5 and 6 Edw. VI c.25 s.2 (1552) recognizances of keepers of 'common Alehouses and Tiplinghouses' were to be taken for good behaviour before two justices of the peace who were to 'certify the same recognizances at the next quarter sessions .... there to remain on record'.
2 Geo.II c.28 s.11 (1729) established the yearly petty divisional licensing sessions to be held within the first twenty days of September and the Act of 26 Geo. II c.31 s.5 (1753) ordered 'that the Clerks of the Peace shall keep a register or Calendar of all the Recognizances, sent or returned'. The need for the keeping of a register was abolished by the Act of 12 Geo. Il l c.71 (1772). The powers of justices of the peace were severely limited by the Acts of 9 Geo.IV. c.61 (1828) and 11 Geo. IV and 1 Wm. c.64 (1830) and led to the opening of a large number of beerhouses.
Some restriction was later imposed by the Act 3 and 4 Viet. c.61 (1840) which stated that excise licences for the sale of beer were not to be granted to occupiers rated at less than £11 per annum if situated in places where the population was between 2,500 and 10,000 or to occupiers of houses rated at less than £8 if situated in places with smaller populations. A duplicate of the overseers' certificate of rateable value was to be deposited with the clerk of the peace.
Registers of Denbighshire alehouses provide the name of the alehouse keeper and the amount of the licence, and occasionally provide the profession of the keeper (where this is different from a victualler), the names of his sureties, and the sign of the inn. Recognizances of Denbighshire alehouses provide the name of the alehouse keeper, his sureties (and usually their professions), the amount of money in which they were bound over for good behaviour and, occasionally, the sign of the inn is also given.
In Denbighshire, Bromfield and Yale recognizances were granted at Wrexham, but within the hundred of Bromfield, recognizances for the parishes of Ruabon and Erbistock were granted separately at Ruabon; in the hundred of Isaled, recognizances for the Isaled division were granted at Denbigh, and those for the Uwchaled division at Cerrigydrudion; in the hundred of Isdulas, those for the Isdulas division were granted at Abergele and those for Uwchdulas at Llanrwst; in the hundred of Chirk, recognizances were usually granted at Llangollen. Recognizances for the borough of Ruthin were filed separately from those of the hundred of Ruthin; and recognizances for the borough of Denbigh were granted at the borough court of quarter sessions (see BD/A/184-5).

159 Returns of fines inflicted
Under the Act of 11 and 12 Viet., c.43 (1848) the money from fines and penalties inflicted by justices at petty sessions was to be paid to the clerk to the justices, who was to hand it over to the county treasurer. The clerk was to make out a monthly return in the form prescribed to be laid before the justices at petty sessions, which was to be finally transmitted to the clerk of the peace. The monthly returns give names of convicts, offence, cost and fines and names of convicting magistrates. From 1878, the returns become quarterly and the name of the convicting magistrate no longer appears. Returns missing from this series are usually to be found among the vouchers and bills of the county treasurer, (ref: QSD/FA/5).

COMMISSIONS OF THE PEACE QSD/JC
Commissions of the Peace were issued in the form of letters patent. By the Act 18 Hen.VI, c.11 (1439) a justice was to possess an estate of at least £20 value, and this qualification was increased to £100 by the Act 18 Geo.II,c.20 (1744-5). The latter Act required justices to subscribe an oath to this effect, and these were filed with the clerk of the peace. The estate qualification was abolished by the Act 6 Edw.Vll, c.16 (1906). The Commissions, issued under the great seal, give the names of justices but not their abode.
