Summons: Richard Bennett esq., High Sheriff of Anglesey

SUMMONS: Richard Bennett esq., High Sheriff of Anglesey, Under - Sheriff's Office, Beaumaris to Mr Richard Roberts, Creigiau, Llantrisant, farmer to appear at the next Quarter Sessions of the Peace at the Shire Hall, Llangefni on 2 January 1901 to serve on the Petty jury.

A Summons is a legal document issued by a court (a judicial summons) or by an administrative agency of government for a variety of reasons, in this case to serve on the Petty Jury. Courts of petty session established from around the 1730s were local courts consisting of magistrates, held for each petty sessional division (usually based on the county divisions known as hundreds) in England, Wales, and Ireland. The session's work dealt with matters such as minor theft and larceny, assault, drunkenness, bastardy examinations, arbitration and deciding whether to refer a case to the quarter sessions. From 1872 the courts of petty sessions were also responsible for approving licenses to sell alcohol in alehouses and public houses.
