Ancient Sussex
Records Found
(contlnued from flrst nnael

The Levy Court in those colonial
days had much more power than
the Levy Court of today and also,
as today, had jurisdiction over the
fixing of the tax rate, and the new
Undiscovered records tell of the
approval Of the building of whip
ping post and stocks at Lewes and
OF the building of roads and bridg-
es.
BY a simple resolution, the body
of justices could resolve itself from
Levy Court into the Court. of
Common Pleas, Court of Oyer and
Terminer, Orphans Court, or Reg
ister's Court.
Instead of having separate re-
cOrding clerks as now, the body
had one clark" for all recording:
Commissions, bonds of officials,
land grants, wills, deeds, births
and marriages, apprentice inden-
lures, and bOunties paid for the
killing of wolves.
Mr.. deValniger stressed the val
ue of the records as disclosing as
poets Of the social, economic, legal,
and criminal history of Sussex
County and said it is expected that
historians and social scientists will
find a wealth of material in them
hitherto unknOw to exist.
He announced that the court
records will be displayed publicly
at. the Hall of Records for the first
time on May l in connection with
Dover Day.
In a letter to DR.. and Mrs. Mer-
Ger, Mr.. deValinger expressed to
them the Public Archives Com
missions gratitude for their kind
ness in presenting the records and
commended them for their unset
fish attitude in restoring the rec
Ords to state custody where they
properly belong.
1--WE hope that your action will
serve as splendid example to
ether public-minded citizens OF
our state and that others may emu
late you in presenting to- us any
documents which may have form
erly belonged to the state or the
counties" the state archivist added
in his letter.
