Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Court Leet Records of the Manor of Manchester, From the Year 1552 to the Year 1686, and From the Year 1731 to the Year 1846, Vol. 2: Printed Under the Superintendence of a Committee Appointed by the Municipal Council of the City of Manchester, From the Original Minute Books in Their Possession; From the Year 1586 to 1618 In the Introduction to volume I, no opportunity occurred of referring to the well-known volumes of selected extracts from these Court Leet Records, which were printed by the Chetham Society in 1864 and 1865 (volumes lxiii. And edited by the late Mr. John Harland, e.s.a. These extracts originally appeared in the columns of the Maize/[ester Guardian in the years 1847 and 1848, and were subsequently collected together and reprinted by the Chetham Society, with a very full introduction and many interesting and elaborate notes by Mr. Harland. Unfortunately these extracts were somewhat hurriedly made, and contain many errors and mis-readings, which renders them, now that the original Court Leet Records have been printed in full, of little or no value. The first volume of these extracts ended with the first volume of the original Records, April, 1586, and the second contained extracts from the succeeding volume as far as October, 1602, the end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. A series of extracts, coming down to the end of the second volume of the original Records, appeared in the Maize/zesler Guardian for 1848, but was not reprinted. Hence (with this exception) all the information given in this volume after the year 1602, and to be given in the subsequent volumes, may be looked upon as quite original, as it has not previously appeared in print in any form, and cannot be found except in these volumes. Its value and importance as throwing light upon the past history of Manchester cannot be over estimated; and as time goes on they will be more and more appreciated.
