A large portion of the docket was filled with suits for bastardy.

The following is a fair specimen of some of the entries : "Appeared before me, Michael Frock, a justice of the peace for said township, on the 7th day of August, William Cutshall personally appeared and paid one dollar for to fight fisticuffs with John Shook, on the 23d day of July- Received by me, Michael Frock, J.
