FOUR magistrates from Hambleton and Richmondshire were sworn in yesterday.
Former Northallerton mayor John Bacon, Clare Prince, of Burniston, Michelle Haswell, of Romanby, and Nigel Galvin, of Richmond, were sworn in at a ceremony at Northallerton Magistrates' Court.
Mr Bacon said: "It is a particular honour for me to be a magistrate in the town where I was born. It is about putting something back."
Anyone interested in becoming a JP is asked to contact North Yorkshire County Council.
