Hi list, for those with English ancestry, the Yesterdays site has been updated with hundreds of records of Law and Order. It has some really awful details among the records. Check Spondon and Hartington for a couple of examples. Hathersage Law and Order shows how the Constables of each parish detailed the names of those who did not attend the parish church. Hope Law and Order also lists a "slaying" in the parish. mike -- http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm
