Talk:Court of quarter sessions

message: The undifferentiated title "Sudbury" is a disambiguation page, not an article about a locality; Wikipedia strongly discourages linking to the disambiguation pages rather than the articles themselves. But since I'm not hugely knowledgeable about British politics, and there are three different Sudburys in England (Sudbury, Suffolk, Sudbury, London and Sudbury, Derbyshire), could somebody more familiar with the topic please correct the Sudbury link in this article to point to the correct article? Thanks. Bearcat 00:06, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  translation of St Thomas 

message: I note the recent amendment by Roger 8 Roger, and wonder whether it is correct. I shall not revert it without first opening it up for discussion, and, in any event, I am not sure that the previous version of the Article was accurate on this point, as it seems to me unlikely that Quarter Sessions could have existed in Wales before what is generally called the Act of Union in 1536.
Unfortunately, the amendment now suggests that Quarter Sessions did not exist in Wales until Great Britain came into being as a legal entity at the beginning of the 18th century. This seems to me, as a Welsh lawyer and former law lecturer with a longstanding interest in history, to be inherently unlikely. Either Quarter Sessions would have been extended to Wales in 1536, or they would have begun in Wales following the abolition of the Court of Great Sessions in 1830. The earlier date seems more likely, as the Court of Great Sessions fulfilled the role of the Assizes in England (though like the Assizes undertook some civil work). It is just possible that the Court of Great Sessions also fulfilled the judicial role of the Quarter Sessions in Wales, but it seems unlikely: Quarter Sessions would also have been required in Wales to deal with the upkeep of roads, etc. Does anyone have a definitive answer to this? I shall see if I can track anything down.13:08, 27 May 2021 (UTC)

message: @ActivelyDisinterested I have now amended the title of the work in the Bibliography to "Whitaker's 1968" and amended all the references to it. This is the book which I have in my possession and which I originally cited when I edited the article at 17:46, on 17 May 2021. At some point during subsequent edits a typo crept in and it got wrongly noted as the 1967 edition. Ntmr (talk) 19:25, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Ntmr. Can I suggest you turn the error messages on if you're going to use short form refs (they are off by default). The details are explained here :Category:Harv and Sfn template errors. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 19:55, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
