Piepowder court, a court of record incident to a fair, as a court baron is to a manor; it is derived from the French pié poudre, and is said to be so called from its expeditious proceedings in the decision of all controversies that happen in fairs; since for the encouragement of all traders, justice is supposed to be as quickly administered as dust can fall from the feet.
