Recognizances
« on: Tuesday 14 August 18 12:17 BST (UK) »
Hi
I have found mention of a relative, John Pratt, in the Yorkshire Gazette 25th April 1829. He is mentioned under “Recognizances” sub heading “to appear and answer” ....it then says “George Pratt of Beverley Veterinary Surgeon in £20 John Pratt of Beverley Veterinary Surgeon his surety”.
The text below Recognizances says that their Recognizances will be estreated whereby they and their sureties will forfeit the sum of money
