... that Bristol's medieval Tolzey Court heard its last case in 1971? " The last hearing took place before Sir Joseph Malony QC, the Recorder of Bristol, on 3 December 1971 when it dealt with a claim for the cost of repairs to the roof of a house in Westbury-on-Trym. " from: Lyes, John (2006).
Bristol's Courts of Law(PDF). London: Bristol Branch of the Historical Association. p. 6.
ALT1:... that Bristol's medieval Tolzey Court(building pictured) had a resurgence in popularity in the 1960s because it had lower fees than the
High Court or
County Court? "The Tolzey Court saw an increase in business in the 1960s when plaintiffs found that the fees payable to the court were lower than those in the High Court and County Court but that, if successful, the costs awarded were higher." from: Lyes, John (2006).
Bristol's Courts of Law(PDF). London: Bristol Branch of the Historical Association. p. 5.
ALT2:... that Bristol's Tolzey Court(building pictured) was valued by some plaintiffs for its application of
foreign attachment, allowing recovery of costs even when defendants were outside the court's jurisdiction? "In about 1830 Arthur Palmer, the prothonotary, commented 'the very advantageous process of foreign attachment, which is most highly beneficial to the citizens of Bristol has been immemorially used" from: Lyes, John (2006).

The article is plenty long enough, well sourced, free of copyvios, and nominated timely. The hooks are sourced; I prefer ALT1 as the most interesting. The image is free and should show up well. The only issue is the need for a QPQ.
