Excerpt from The Manors of Suffolk: Notes on Their History and Devolution
The business of the Hundred was transacted in the hundred mote, in which in later times the townships or parishes were represented by the town reeve and four assessors. The Court of the Hundred exercised both civil and criminal jurisdiction, and litigants were bound to seek justice in this Court before applying to a higher tribunal.
As the king was entitled to a fine for each offence, his reeve used to attend the Court twice a year to receive these fines. It was on these occasions that the Court exercised the duty of seeing that every man was enrolled in his tithing, a practice which continued long after the Norman Conquest as the sheriff's turn, or leet and view of frankpledge. It was sometime a lower Court for the payment of small debts and then the bailitt of the Hundred presided.
