Additional Description

Arrangement Note

These files are just as they came from the courthouse, uncleaned and in bundles. Most of the papers are dated and the cases appear to be grouped by date. There is, however, no further orderly arrangement. A rough date sequence, often overlapping other boxes, is indicated in the finding aid.
