Warwickshire Midsummer Sessions
County Hall, Warwick, Monday, June 30
...
ALTERATION IN THE KINGTON AND KNIGHTLOW HUNDREDS.
The CHAIRMAN stated that at the last Sessions a statement was
made, signed by Sir Theophilus Biddulph, Rev. W. C. Wilson
and Rev. T. R. Bromfield, in which it was recommended that
the Parishes of Priors Hardwick, Priors Marston and Lower
Shuckburgh, which form part of the Burton Dassett Division of
the Hundred of Kington, be annexed to the Southam Division
of the Hundred of Knightlow.- Mr. HUNT (Clerk of the Peace)
then laid before the Chairman a statement of the number of pa-
ishes, and the population in each place, as they would stand
under the proposed alteration, by which it was shown on com-
parison of the two divisions, that there was a great disproportion
between the number of parishes, and the population.- The
CHAIRMAN observed there might be a disproportion in the manner
pointed out, but if the Magistrates recommended the alteration
as more convenient, there could be no objection to adopting their
suggestion.- F. S. MILLER, Esq. said the parishes named were
situated in the corner of the Burton Dassett Division, and never
transacted business at Kington, except the swearing in of Parish
Officers, &c., but for all other magisterial business they attended
at Southam. The alteration would enable parties residing in that
division to attend at Southam upon every matter requiring the
attention of the Magistrates.- The recommendation of the Magis-
trates was confirmed, and the alteration to commence from the
13th of October next.

WARWICKSHIRE, TO WIT
AT the General Quarter Sessions of the Peace of
our Lord the King, holden at Warwick, in and for
the said County, on Monday in the first week after the
twenty-fourth day of June, that is to say, the thirtieth
day of June, in the 6th year of the reign of our Sovereign
Lord William the Fourth, by the grace of God of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, King,
Defender of the Faith, and in the year of our Lord 1834,
before Sir John Eardley Eardley Wilmot, Baronet, Henry
Hugh Holbech, Esquire, and others, Keepers of the Peace
of our said Lord the King, and also Justices of the said
King, appointed to hear and determine divers felonies,
trespasses, and other misdemeanors done and committed
in the said county, and of the quorum, and so forth.
WHEREAS at the last Quarter Sessions, held on the
seventh day of April last, a statement in writing, signed
by Sir Theophilus Biddulph, Baronet, the Reverend
William Corbett Wilson and the Reverend Thomas Ross
Bromfield, Clerks, three Justices of the Peace for this
county, and dated the sixth day of January last, was, in
pursuance of the directions of the Statute hereafter men-
tioned, laid by the Clerk of the Peace before the Justices
of the Peace in the said Sessions assembled, which state-
ment is as follows:-

"To the Justices of the Peace of the County of Warwick,
in Quarter Sessions assembled.
"We, the undersigned, being three Justices of the
Peace for the County of Warwick, acting within the Hun-
dred of Knightlow, in the said county, in pursuance of an
Act of Parliament passed in the ninth year of the reign of
his Majesty King George the Fourth, intituled 'An Act
for the better regulation of Divisions in the several Coun-
ties of England and Wales,' do state that, in our opinion,
the following alteration in the Divisions after-mentioned
of the county of Warwick would tend to the convenience
of the inhabitants within the parishes of Priors Hardwick,
Priors Marston, and Lower Shuckburgh, in the said
county, and ought to take place, that is to say, that the
said parishes of Priors Hardwick, Priors Marston, and
Lower Shuckburgh, which are now situate in and form
part of the Burton Dassett Division of the Hundred of
Kington, ought to be annexed to the Southam Division of
the Hundred of Knightlow, so that the under-mentioned
Parished, Tithings, Townships, and Places would then
form the Division of Burton Dassett and Southam respec-
tively, within and for which Special Sessions should be
hereafter held.

"T. R. BROMFIELD."

And whereas the Clerk of the Peace did, in further pur-
suance of the directions of the said Act, immediately after
the said Quarter Sessions, cause a copy of each statement
to be published in three successive numbers of the Warwick
and Warwickshire Advertiser, the Leamington Spa Cou-
rier, Aris's Birmingham Gazette, and the Coventry Mer-
cury, being weekly newspapers usualy published or cir-
culated within the said county, and in which the adver-
tisements of county business are usually inserted, and did
at the foot of such copy also cause notice to be given that
such statement had been laid before such Justices in
Quarter Sessions assembled, in pursuance of the directions
of the said Act, and that the same would be taken into
consideration by the Court at this present Quarter Ses-
sions.
And whereas the Justices of the Peace have, at this
present Sessions, taken the said statement into considera-
tion, and have determined to adopt the same wholly - It
is therefore ordered, that the said parishes of Priors Hard-
wick, Priors Marston, and Lower Shuckburgh, which are
now situate in and form part of the Burton Dassett Divi-
sion of the Hundred of Kington, shall be annexed to the
Southam Division of the Hundred of Knightlow, and that
this Order shall take effect on the thirteenth day of October
next. By the Court.
WILLIAM HUNT,
Clerk of the Peace.
