Among the courts of ancient origin In Great Britain a most interesting one still exists at Bristol, the last ene remaining of the Pied Poudre courts which were established more than 700 years ago at places where large fairs were held, lasting very often for more than a fortnight, nnd attended by for eigners. The courts were provided, especially If the fair was at ft sea port town, to deal with differences of opinion which were likely to arise be tween people who could not under stand each other's speech. The Stranger, In such a case, would find himself In a sorry plight. Courts were therefore established so that complaints from those who were staying In the city for the fair or passing through without making any long stay, coutd be dealt with, and were called Courts of Pied Poudre or Dusty Feet from the dusty feet of the traveling bagmen and ped dlers whom lt was intended to help. In time Pied Poudre became Pye Powder court, and under that name was held once again in Bristol this autumn for a fortnight The Recorder presided. The court was opened in accordance with ancient custom in the market place which adjoins tho Guild hall for convenience. Although the number ?*f complaints were few the court remained sitting for the full 14 days as lt had done century after cen tury.
