Announcement of the Court

The following announcement appeared in the Norfolk Chronicle of October 25^th 1806. It announces a Court to be held on November 19^th, 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 8^th 1806.
The announcement also mentions a Court for the Manor of Deopham of the Dean & Chapter of Canterbury on the same date: this also appears to have been delayed until December 8^th 1806.
