In County Durham I think that the Weardale Association for the
Prosecution of Felons still survives. An article on it apparently
appeared in "Crown to Crown", the Journal of the North Eastern Police
History Society, issue 3, December 2003. Also in County Durham,
accounts and papers of the Ryton Society for the Prosecution of Felons,
1741-1746, and minutes and accounts of the Hurworth Association for the
Prosecution of Felons, 1818-1853, are in Durham County Record Office.
