Overview of the Records

Scope and Content Note

This series records fees paid by aliens for depositions. The two volumes list names of deponents and fees paid to the Secretary of State. The series begins with deposition #1785, filed, Jan. 1 1836 and concludes with deposition #10843, filed August 4, 1854. The information contained in the series includes only the name of deponent, date deposition was filed in the office of the Secretary of State, and the amount of fee paid. A listing of fees paid for earlier depositions filed from 1825-1835 appears at the end of volumes I and II of series A1870 - Abstracts of Depositions.

A1870 and contains a listing of fees which predate these records, 1825-1835, at the end of volumes I and II.

Processing Information

A third volume, originally included in this series, appears to be unrelated in content. Although the ms. title page attributes it to contain Certificates and Alien Depositions, it is clearly not a register of fees. It has therefore been accessioned as a separate series, A1872.
