Scope and Content Note

This series consists of a microfilm copy of trial transcripts from New York County criminal courts, which were made for appeals. Most of the trials occurred in the Court of General Sessions of the Peace; some took place in the Court of Oyer and Terminer (prior to 1896), in the trial term of the Supreme Court (after 1895), or in lower tribunals such as the Police Court and the Magistrates' Court. Microfilm reels comprising accretion B0815-09 may fill gaps in the original accession.
