A more thorough explanation: “Hundred court” refers to a historic English legal institution that was responsible for administering justice and maintaining order in a specific administrative division known as a “hundred.” The court typically had jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters within its designated area and was presided over by a local official known as the “hundred bailiff” or “hundredman.” The court’s functions included resolving disputes, enforcing laws, and collecting fines or taxes.
