Howcutts in Court before 1900

 

This is a list of sources of information about legal cases in England that involved people called Howcott or Howcutt during the period up to 1900.

The “source” states where the collection of information can be found. The “reference” is the code that has to be quoted to consult the documents or, in the case of a newspaper, its date.

Most of the cases are to do with civil disputes, rather than criminal matters.

Some disputes are covered by more than one reference.

The order of the parties in civil cases is normally shown with the Plaintiff followed by the Defendant, but there may be exceptions to this.  

The references to "Robert Howcott" do not all concern the same individual.
