|
Date: | 1557-1804 |
Arrangement: |
The series is arranged chronologically from 1557 to 1804 with the various items relating to a particular suit forming a discrete file (or files), either rolled or folded. From the mid-eighteenth century the documents are quite large and are usually folded into thick packets. The various items in any one file are often joined together by a string. It should be noted that there may be more than one file for any one suit. As well, each file does not necessarily contain all the elements which would normally make up a complete set of interrogatories and depositions. The files are usually annotated on the outside with the names of the two parties and the year of the suit. The last bundle contains items which cover a wide date range and many items that are undated. |
