The courts were provided, | especially if the fair was at a sed- port town, to deal with differences of opinion which were likely to arise be- tween people who could mot under- stand each other's speech. The stranger, in such a case, would tind himself in a sorry plight. Courts were therefore estabiished so that complaints from those who | were staying in the ity for the fair or passing ough without making any long stay, could be dealt with, and were ecalled Courts of Pled Poudre or Dusty Feet from tie dusty feet of the traveling bagmen and ped- dlers wham it was intended to help. In time Pied Poudre became Pye Powder court, and under that name was held once again in Bristol this antunn for a fortnight. The Recorder presided.
