King's Bench indictment files covering London and Middlesex only.
There are some gaps before 1702, but from that date the series is almost complete.
They have an internal filing order, beginning with indictments brought into court on writs of certiorari, then Middlesex indictments, presentments, informations by the master of the Crown Office and informations ex officio.
The files do not include a very large amount of London material, and what there is consists of indictments brought into King's Bench on writs of certiorari and informations. It may be that London was included in the same file as Middlesex because of the similar lengths of the periods during which writs had to be returned to the court; it bore the same relationship to King's Bench as other counties.
The Middlesex material includes presentments made by petty constables, including those for the liberty of Westminster, to two grand juries, one for Ossulstone hundred and one for the rest of the county, for minor offences; indictments in the first instance, mostly cases of assault rather than felonies, received as a result of the court's overriding jurisdiction in the county by virtue of its residence there; indictments, recognizances, special verdicts and summary convictions removed from inferior jurisdictions under certiorari; and criminal informations, especially informations by the master of the Crown Office and by the attorney general (informations ex officio).
