Excerpt from Three Early Assize Rolls for the County of Northumberland, Sæc. XIII

Without attempting to solve the involved question of the origin of the various Courts of Justice in this country, it may be well to trace the administration of justice in the county of Northumberland from a date a little previous to that of the Assize Rolls here dealt with. The earliest men tion we have of any court held in the country north of the Tees is that in which the Placita Comitatus were heard in 1080 at Gateshead, when Bishop Walcher, then Earl of Northumberland, was murdered.
