List
1 sets out documents and publications about legal cases in England that
involved people called Howcott or Howcutt during the period up to 1900. Most entries
are from the 17th century and the list is almost certainly not complete.
Sometimes more than one of the documents relates to the same dispute. Apart
from the prosecutions of Richard Hyde in 1615 and of James Howcutt in 1827,
all the cases are about civil disputes, not criminal matters.
Parties in civil cases
normally give the name of the Plaintiff followed by that of the Defendant.
However, if there is an appeal the Defendant becomes the Appellant, the
Plaintiff becomes the Respondent and the order of the names of the
individuals is reversed. The letters in brackets after some names indicate
that the source specifically states where the person was living at the time. If
a party consisted of a large number of people, only one or two key names are
shown below followed by the phrase “& others” to cover the rest of the
contingent.
Held

states where the original documents can be found.
Reference is the one that
has to be quoted to consult the documents or, in the case of a newspaper, its
date. Some cases are covered by more than one reference.
Howcott
or Howcott
gives the names of the people with that surname who are mentioned in the
relevant document. Further information about their identities appear in List
2.
