 Collection
Collection Number: A&M 0060

Scope and Contents

Includes four boxes (boxes 1-4) of original paper materials pertaining to various court cases. Each box's contents have been microfilmed, with there being three reels of microfilm total (TUC 1-TUC 3). Within each box, there are envelopes holding the case papers which are organized chronologically by year. The envelope numbering system restarts at the beginning of each year, meaning there are multiple envelopes titled "Envelope 1" whenever a box includes a span of years. Many of the cases are to do with debt, chancery cases, or trespass on the case (T.O.C.).
