In the medieval period the Halmote Courts regulated matters of manorial custom and admissions to holdings, and heard actions for minor offences such as trespass, assault and debt under 40 shillings. Gradually, however, the range of matters coming before the courts contracted, and by the 17th century their business was largely confined to dealing with the surrender and admission of manorial (copyhold) tenants, according to the custom of the manor. The Halmote Courts, administered the copyhold land and the tenants thereof belonging to the Bishopric of Durham located mainly in Co. Durham but also in Northumberland and Yorkshire from about 1500 to the 20th century.

THE LONDON POLICE (BRITISH CONTEMPORARY), ALL HAIL GRANDAD STEVE ink and acrylic on linen, signed verso 40cm x 30cm Unframed Note: The London Police is an art collective started in 1998 when two English geezers headed to Amsterdam to rejuvenate the visually disappointing streets of Holland's capital. They were part of a small group of artists at the end of the last century that helped pioneer the street art movement. After a few years of mixing travelling and making art in the street TLP began to receive worldwide recognition for their contribution to the graffiti/street art movement. Some 22 years on TLP have amassed more than 100 shows and events in over 35 countries and their street work continues to pop up everywhere they go. The London Police are Chaz Barrisson who draws the iconic ‘LADS’ character and Bob Gibson whose tight portrait and architectural illustrations help marry the two styles to create an endearing, exciting fantasy world... The approximate retail value is £900 Generously donated by The London Police. The proceeds of sale from this lot will benefit The Glasgow Children's Hospital Appeal.

Gibson B45 1964 twelve string guitar, serial number 230997, with mahogany back and sides, with case, 108.5cm longWith CITES Certificate No.588671/01Qty: 1Condition report: The guitar's belly is swelling behind the bridge and sinking slightly in front of the bridge as typically seen in Gibsons of this period. Despite this it still plays with a good action, very low and comfortable for a twelve string especially at the twelfth fret. The frets have some wear and have been levelled but there is still some life in them. The lacquer has crazing and there are some scratches and chips especially around the jack input. We have not tested the pickup. The pearloid inlay on the headstock is lifting in small areas but nothing serious. The case is not the original.
