| Title: | Assizes: Northern Circuit: Criminal Depositions and Case Papers |
| Description: |
The Northern Circuit documents in this series relate mainly to murder, but also to other serious crimes, particularly riot. A substantial proportion of the murders are cases of infanticide. After 1916 a wider range of offences is covered. Some of the twentieth century depositions are accompanied by lists of witnesses and exhibits and formal correspondence about the conduct of the trial and/or appeal. Documentary exhibits, mainly correspondence, photographs and medical reports, are also sometimes included. |
