The charges heard mostly concerned felony, poaching, keeping disorderly alehouses, wages owed, removal appeals, bad treatment of apprentices by their masters, rates disputes, blocking waterways, and failure of parishes to keep roads and bridges in good order. The Courts also set rates for wages and carriage; details are found in the Record Books, Order Books, Minute Books and the Court Rolls in Northamptonshire Record Office.
