Announcement of the Court

The following announcement appeared in the Norfolk Chronicle of October 25th 1806. It announces a Court to be held on November 19th, but this did not happen. There is no Court for this date in the Court Roll. It appears that this session was delayed until December 8th 1806.
The announcement mentions a Court for the Manor of Deopham Hall on the same date: this also appears to have been delayed until December 8th 1806.
