An ancient court of record in Liverpool, once called the “may-or’s court of pays sage,” but now usually called the “court of the passage of the bor-ough of Liverpool.” This court was for-merly held before the mayor and two bailiffs of the borough, and had jurisdiction in ac-tions where the amount in question exceeded forty shillings.
